Using your google account, you can create a personalized homepage. You can customize several modules, including various news, gmail, bookmarks. This service is similar to what http://www.netvibes.com/ provides. The drawback is the inconvenience of bookmark module. It doesn't provide grouping while netvibes provide tags to implement this. Wishing google will improve this defect in the near future. Meanwhile, the Live plan of Microsoft is also going on. MS presents several several servicies to counterattack google's counterparts. Virtual Earth (see http://preview.local.live.com ) is a recent service. It provides map service just like google earth, provides a virtual tour better than google. Imaging driving a car in the map and seeing everything real, maybe you can do a virtual europe tour now. Seems interesting. MS also provides a customized home, you can log into www.live.com via your msn accounts. I haven't tried that yet.
