Ever since I switched from IE to Firefox, I haven't really gone to the Google's home page. So today, I decided to surf Google. And they've done some really cool stuff!
Did you know that you can have your own personalized Google home page? The link is right there at the top right hand corner of the main home page. For the first time in almost 6 years, I have a home page other than about:blank. Says a lot, doesn't it? Take my word for it. Its by far the best portal kind of thing I've seen in a long time. Fast and effortless, it is almost devoid of any graphics, thereby giving the page a very clean and usable look. So just any rss feed to your google personalized home page and you're done.
So do you know who Dennis Hwang is? He's the really cool guy who does Google's festive logos. The link there will take you to the page where all of Google's festive logos since 1999 sit. Really cool. What's really unbelievable is that he's only 23 years old :o. You might also want to visit Logoogle.com. This site also has google logos that fans have done :).
The rest of it you know. If you don't, go to Google's home page and click on the "more" link right on top of the search text box. Briefly there is Google Video(video blogging etc.) , Froogle(shopping), Google book search, Google Directory (Surf the web by topic), Picassa (online photo albums), Google Local (Map service), the newly added Google Code (sourceforge watch out!!), and of course GMail.
Enjoy the Googlexperience ;).
