Notes from Sarah

Google lets you add customized content to your personalized Google homepage, if you sign in to your Google account. It's a great feature that allows you to really customize the page with favorite RSS feeds, weather, stocks, etc. Now there is Google Modules, an unofficial website that offers up many modules you can add to your homepage. The modules are small widgets that go beyond what Google offers as far as just adding a feed or a link. There are games (Pac-Man, for example), Del.icio.us modules, to do lists, translators, images, and more. All you have to do is click "Get Module," then add the URL that's generated to your Google Personalized home. Very cool!

Quote from Google Modules

Google's Personalized Homepage (and its API) allows you to add all kinds of modules – from weather maps to a Yahoo search box to anything really. There was one problem though: there was no place to easily find or submit modules. Google has a directory of their own, but it doesn't update with new submissions often and it only shows few modules. That's why we hacked up Google Modules for you.
