Google Gets Personal

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - Google Inc. has introduced a new option that allows visitors to personalize the search engine's bare-bones home page with information such as top news stories, movie listings and stock quotes.

The feature, announced Thursday, pushes the company a step closer to operating an Internet portal in the mold of rivals Yahoo and MSN.com.

Personally, I like. It unites Gmail, news (along with stuff from slashdot & others) which I think is something Google has been needing for a while.
