Google Is Working On Tabs For Your Personalized Homepage
There has been a Google Personalized Homepage Module for quite some time now that would replicate the feeling of tabs. That’s what you see pictured above but I always seemed to run into problems while using it.
With Google releasing the minimizing feature yesterday I was surprised to see another new feature in the works. Garett Rogers is talking about some code that was found that obviously indicates that they are working on a tab implementation. It would be cool if we knew how they would look but nothing has emerged yet. I think it will end up being similar to the module above.
I hope they step up the competition a little with Netvibes because they sure know what they are doing over there. I think I would switch in a heart beat if they made it possible to accept Google Modules as well. There are just a few that I can’t stand being without because I use it all the time, like my Google Calendar module. Tabs will be a nice addition but if you play with Netvibes for a minute I’m sure you’ll notice some other things Google should add, too.

Sounds promising. I wish they would keep all their search options (Web, Images, News, Maps, Groups, etc) displayed at once or make a little easier to choose which you want to search. Since they added Maps to the list it bumped off ‘Groups’ so now I have to click the ‘more >>’ then click ‘Groups’. Yes it is only one more click, but I’m just an** about that.
I agree that Google should let you customize more things including those links, but I am sure it is some sort of marketing scheme.
