Google has quietly launched the beta version of their personalized-homepage service, designed to take on MSN and Yahoo!.
“The service, similar to offerings from its competitors, lets users aggregate information, search, email and other content in their own personal portal to the web.
Available content include a preview of messages from Google’s web mail service Gmail, headlines from the search engine’s news service and driving directions from its map service. Users also can add weather, movie and stock information, and other feeds from Slashdot, The New York Times, Wired News and BBC News.
Users can drag and drop sections to arrange them anyway they want on the page. Once its created, the user can sign in through their Google acccount. “
