A method to our madness

Does Google have a strategy, or are we just a bunch of mad computer scientists running around building whatever we want? Today this question gets an answer: we’ve launched our personalized homepage via Google Labs. It’s part of a strategic initiative we refer to as ‘fusion’ to bring together Google functionality, and content from across the web, in useful ways.

The personalized homepage is a complement to the existing Google homepage – not a replacement. Keep using the original Google homepage if you want to. (We expect many people will.) But if you’re keen to organize and customize your information, take a stab at designing your own homepage. You can add Gmail, news, stocks, weather and more. Plus you can add great content from websites like the BBC and Wired. We’re incorporating feeds from just a few other sites today, but we envision being able to accept any standardized feed very soon.
