Google Personalised Homepage Tabs…

Just Noticed I have just noticed that my Google Personalised Homepage now has a tab system. I set Google Personalised Homepage as my default page so that I can get up to date with all the latest news as well……

Page loads slowly, not to keen, however its sorta nice, love the changing colors tho it’d be nice for me to choose them. Anyone got a module to remove the search box and logo from the top of the page?, i have a in-line Ajax search box so i don’t need the old one.

Yay! Just a few days after I sugested it in a comment here and they implement it. Unfortunately I must echo Mad Max’s comments that it doesn’t exactly work like a charm – pages still load slowly and no matter how many times I drop items onto a tab that tab remains empty and they stay on my front page.

I agree that the tabs implementation is not as great as Netvibes, but I use so many Google-specific modules that it is difficult for me to switch to somewhere like Netvibes. They do have over 300 modules available but I like having ones to control my Google Calendar with my upcoming agenda and such.

I definitely agree with Max that the tab switching needs to be handled much more efficiently which I’m sure they’ll do.

Will give this a shot, but it’s still Netvibes for me for now…

There are some bugs. I created a new tab and named it Games, then added some games to it. Then I went to my front page and dragged a game module to the Games tab. It worked, and then I dragged the second game module to the games tab. Then I click on the Games tab to see if it worked, and it just refreshed my original home tab and the second game didn’t get dragged over to the Games tab. Also, I expected the loading times to be quick with AJAX like Netvibes or something, but the page refreshes and I don’t like that. I see potential for it, but for now I won’t use this feature.
