wow! very cool- iGoogle!

[MikeJF]

what is your homepage for your browser? I usually use a blank page, but now I think it will be be iGoogle- this is VERY cool!

Check it out:
1. go to Google.com
2. click on iGoogle at the top right
3. enter your interests and zip code


Your iGoogle page comes up- but here's what's so cool. You can add/delete/drag things around to make it customized. Click "Add stuff" on the right and you can add all kinds of cool things, like a to-do list, calendars, local weather, moon phases, news, etc..

It is tied in with CNN. It can't be too cool. ;)

I have been doing that with my Yahoo homepage for years.

I actually do it with my Excite homepage but this one does it in one step.


Also it has some features Excite does not have. I sometimes wish I could get a blend of all 3.

I set my custom colors / theme in MyYahoo. Contents can be moved around, added, removed, etc. all right on the page without going to an editor function.

I do remember getting notices of such but I still use it and modify it all the time. I just love the layout or maybe I am just so use to it.

[MikeJF]

so which one is better? yahoo, google, excite? anyone tried them all?

[PercyVere]

so which one is better? yahoo, google, excite? anyone tried them all?Google are, at least were, more cutting edge, than the rest. I use Gmail, so iGoogle fits nicely with that, has done for years. I find that Yahoo just don't get the concept of 'uncluttered', a concept of which Google are masters - just look at the basic Google search page vs Yahoo's.

I've been using igoogle for years. I like having my most commonly used bookmarks top center. Open browser, click the bookmarked link, boom. I'm there.

I'm running a Marine Corps theme that is pretty cool. It changes colors based on your time zone. So at night, it's what I'll call "night vision goggles green." Then during the day, it's more the traditional Marine Corps scarlet and gold.

I also have some pretty cool gadgets. Local radar, language translator, Fox News feed, ABC News feed, ESPN feed, Political News feed, local movie listings, oh and of course, Pacman. That's the best.

OMG I really love this iGoogle, the only thing, can I add the Washington Politics section to it at all? or all the Hannity forums to it?

You mean like your own personal links? I am not sure but I think maybe use

Add feed or gadget (found on far left side)

Which is found first by going to the bottom of the front page:

Add news, games, and more (http://www.google.com/ig/directory?hl=en&root=/ig&dpos=footer) to this page.

I got on there and I like it too.

It's probably asking too much LOL, but I was hoping to get maybe the latest threads in WP, maybe something like we see on the homepage at Hannity.com.

I just seached and the only thing it looks like I can add is Sean's quotes, and then The Sean Hannity Show podcast.

I tried that and the darn Musical Bakers Dozen thread is showing up for me too, and I can't get rid of it even when I refresh.
