#46This is what iGoogle used to be! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IGoogle You could add your own RSS feed, weather, etc and it used to be awesome. Used to be my "home" tab for many years, before google decided to do away with it.
It appears there's a "replacement" now. https://igoogleportal.com/
Definitely going to try this one out
