Google's Homepage



Google's personalized homepages show a decided taste for (ADD) Attention Deficit Disorder. The links they show to sites such as Slashdot, Wired, Techdirt, etc., are to slow-loading blurbs that are supposed to be cutting-edge blogs by experts. In reality, almost every story that I have found from my personalized Google homepage has been a dull, warmed-over, repeat of facts found elsewhere.

Google needs to re-think its philosophy and look for originality or at least link to longer stories with more depth. Google hears the beat of its own drummer, and usually that beat is cool, but they have really missed the beat when it comes to the quality of their links on their personalized homepages.
