New Google Feature!

Richard M · 19-05-2005, 22:55

You saw it here first.

Google is now offering a brand new homepage with GMail & News integration and personalised links - you can alter the content to whatever suits you.

http://www.google.com/ig

UK version here:
http://www.google.co.uk/ig *

* Note that you will not be able to use the GMail integration on the UK site.

It also includes cutting edge Google features such as My Search History.

... lets hope it's not another Google fiasco like the last one

Don't bet on it !!

It's not letting me save my personalisation and continually gives a security error. Also the UK one still says Zipcode and not Postcode.

My google toolbar has a news button...how is this different?

Well I can sign into and out of my gmail account, but everytime I try and save personalisations on this new offering it fubars, either giving page not found or continual security redirect errors.

So as far as I am concerned it's another lame duck, released before it's time and with insufficient testing or resources.

IIRC, I used something similar to the weather script years ago, it contained some sort of spyware, just seems like something that was doing the rounds a couple of years ago

don't know if this is the same ??

Of course, I could be wrong....again
