I am probably centuries behind here but today I learnt that you can add rss feeds to your personalised google home page.

I am a big fan of having control over my homepage, In the past I have written simple HTML pages containing links to the sites I use most often, at work I have used sharepoint which is excellent and allows me to edit links in my browser. I was interested to see if google home page offered the ability to add urls, so far I have not found this with the exception of RSS. If the website has a feed and more and more do then it can be added and will appear much like any other gadget. What is more the last three items in the feed will also be displayed, very cool. To do this click the 'Add Stuff' link then click the 'Add by Url' icon, then type or paste the url of the feed in and click Add.

There are multitude of 'Gadgets' you can add to your home page, my favourites are the Time, Weather Forecast and the Virgin Radio Tuner, but there are thousands of others.
