Google promotes Personalized Homepage on google.com
Google is for the first time promoting its Personalized Homepageon the google.com homepage, using football WorldCup modules/widgets. There is a “New! Add World Cup live scores andschedules to this page” promo link directly under the search querybox, which leads to a “Welcome to Your Google homepage. Make ityour own” start page.
This is great to see and shows (once again) that Google istackling Microsoft head-on in key market segments. Indeed earlierthis evening Microsoftannounced an upgrade to its personalized homepage,live.com (it will be released next week, but I have preview screenshots onmy ZDNet blog). Also of course, the little startups are doing alot in this market currently (Netvibes, Pageflakes, et al). See mypost earlier this week – TheFuture of Personalized Start Pages – for my analysis on this.
