Google Personalized Home Page Adds Tabs

As many of you know I am an information junky. Google recently made my life better (or worse?) with the addition of tabs to their personalized home page feature. If you are not already familiar with their personalized home page - basically it is accessible from Google.com. You can log in using your gmail account or you can just save your changes to your cookies. The tool allows you to add unlimited amounts of information from thousands of content sources. The content is automatically updated by the providers as well. The interface has a slick drag and drop feature allowing you to easily customize the page to your needs. Recently they added tabs to allow you to better sort your content (eg Marketing, Personal, Finance, Technology etc.). You can even drag and drop your content between tabs and add unlimited tabs.

Content providers allow you to add their content or Google Gadgets to your home page for free. A lot are just RSS feeds but some are actually small apps like - checking the weather, checking movie times, showing your google calendar, managing gmail or watching videos.

You can search and find your gadgets here:


The last cool feature is your ability to just select any RSS feed on the web (like this Blog ...)

All you do it click Add URL and type in the full feed web address like:
