A great little feature of Google is to allow you to create your own personalised home page. You have the standard Google search bar & links at the top of the page but the lower part of the page can be filled with various RSS feeds of your choosing.

The link is http://www.google.com/ig. Also available for other Google sites (for example, mine is from Google.co.uk).

Here's my Google page as an example:

So as you can see you can set a page up with news headlines, recipes, recent posts from your favourite site/blog. Content is easily added and removed. There's an "Add content" button in the top left to add topics and a close button by the title of each topic to delete a topic. You can also put them in any order you want to by simply dragging and dropping.

I recommend giving it a try - it's a nice way to keep an eye on what's happening around the internet from one place.

If anyone has any feeds that they have on their page and would like to share with us all, then why not post them here?

I've been using that since it began - I'm rather fond of it. Though Yahoo's personalized homepage does the same thing and started way before Google's.

Does it have the really nifty drag & drop interface of Google's though. Topic goes up, topic goes down...

Yahoo has a different way of doing it but Google's way is niftier:

I've been using it for a while too and I really enjoy it. I especially like the local weather feature because here in Saskatchewan you never know from day to day which coats and boots you're going to need to wear!!
