Comprox · May 2005

It's so nice! Just drag and edit and sigh, damn you google!

NeonSpyder · May 2005

mmh, my google homepage is set up and the only thing they need to do now is walk up to my front door and ask me for my soul, i'll give it, easy.

dear god, drop and drag, it couldn't be more brilliant if it tried, wired news, slashdot, it's so beautiful... they knew exactly.. what i needed.. google was already my homepage, this is pure bliss i feel now.

Pulse · May 2005

Can a mod fix the typo in the title? It'd be real nice if I could just change it by editing the first post like in some other forums. =/

<span style='color:white'>Yes, yes I can.</span>

The Upenn student page is editable like this

<a href='http://medley.isc-seo.upenn.edu/penn_portal/portal.php' target='_blank'>here</a>

Obviously you can't edit it for yourself, you have to be a student first.

todd1Ok · May 2005

if this homepage was a girl.

id tap it.

ZeroByte · May 2005

Damnit, when will people learn to use the <label /> tag for forms. Google web gurus my patootie! Other than that.. eh.. its nicer and smoother than my implementation. I've got an alpha-ish JS that does the same thing, even collapsing the columns when theres nothing there. Still, I like the smoothness of this implementation.

At the university, google loaded like [bleep], so I was reduced to using ask.com sometimes; they actually make a good balance when used together.

...ResNet sucks, and everybody that works there should wish for the bliss of death...

...Anyway, google rocks; now if only they'd get an OS out here, so that Microsoft stops hoarding Windows over everyone with its blatant resource over use.

Wow, this is awesome. Just when you don't think Google can get better, it does.

that's a good way to put it, i mean, google itself is great, but now, suddenly, out of the freaking blue it becomes even better, and, they're not asking anything in return, and above all else, it's <i>intuiative</i> and <i>convenient</i> without being obtrusive, i mean, the google homepage was empty already, and they <i>filled it with awesome</i>

Tyrain · May 2005

I love google! It's not like all the other webpages, where you get load of crap that you don't even know what to think off... And sometimes you need a search engine just to find something you entered into a search engine...

I bet their headquarter looks like something from a mad magazine... crazy bunnys jumping arround and chocolate comes from the roof.

Just a guess, but it's quite unlikely that the three of us go to the same school.

needs a tv guide...

DOOManiac · May 2005

/me shrugs

I really don't see anything fancy at all about this other than the moving border when you mouseup from a drag & drop.

The drag & drop thing is actually not that hard to do, and is well documented on various interweb sites. In fact, our own Zerobyte has a really really awesome version of said script.

The other stuff is just RSS feeds...

Pulse · May 2005

<i>How</i> they did it doesn't matter at all. What matters is that they <i>did</i> it, and did it oh so very well.

Legionnaired · May 2005

SHUT UP DOOM!

.... they'll hear you.....

DOOManiac · May 2005

I'm just saying, compared to the work they did on GMail and Google Suggest this isn't really impressive at all. Those are both a load more complicated than this thing. In fact, I could probably make an exactl clone of it over the weekend if I wanted. Still, it will be useful for a lot of people.

Now what would be REALLY pwn is if they let you add your own stuff to the thing. Whatever RSS feeds you wanted, or etc.

Still, I won't be changing my homepage any time soon.
