    iGoogle

    Not sure if any of you use this, but I do. It's basically like My Yahoo where you can customize your page. The cool thing is that you can search for modules all over. I typed in WTFdetroit and you get an RSS feed with the most recent posts on it. It's pretty slick.

    Here is my page (haven't spent a lot of time looking for modules yet, but it works (i blacked out my emails of course):

    Phil Wenneck: The man purse. You actually gonna wear that or are you just fuckin' with me?
    Alan Garner: It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.

    I avoid giving Google too much personal information.

    probably. you can link to other yahoo content like the sports feed, the movie listings, etc.

    BTW, I noticed that feed only gives you new threads, not new posts. still nice though.

    I for one have fully welcomed my new google overlords, being a big fan of not just igoogle but gmail and google desktop too (both of which I highly recommend if you haven't checked them out).

    If it turns out that google's "To serve man..." is a cookbook, I'm screwed.

    I just don't want to make it TOO easy for the forces of privacy evil to perform one-stop shopping and collect all the details of my life. I'll gladly let them sift through anonymized queries with random timings/noise and sporadic scrambled cookies if they want to start from Google to get back to me.

    I had those very same qualms before I laid down for a nap next to the strange alien pod. Then I weighed them against the cool features, convenience, connection with the hive mind and eternal life offered by google and went for it anyway.
