RSS Reading on your homepage


I've been using this for a while mainly as an RSS reader as I get the news I want as soon as I open my browser. You can now add tabs which helped me as I got such a huge collection of feeds my page was getting big. Now I have tabs for work, fun, and general.

Being able to intergrate your Gmail/Google mail into the home page is also really useful.

Less useful but still fun is random google videos and games you can add.

Now that Firefox2 has built in ajax google search into the top right corner I no longer need Google labs - suggest search as my home page and can go back to my custom Google (google.com/ig) page.
