iGoogle ate my homepage
May 1st
My personalized Google home page just reverted to defaults with an old zip code from Birmingham, AL and in the process lost all of my additional tabs, rss feeds, bookmarks, etc. Everything except for my gMail and some old stocks that I used to watch. This was probably 40 regularly used bookmarks and a dozen or so RSS Feeds from bloggers I watch and friends who bookmark using del.icio.us regularly. Not good. I have faith that Google will fix the problem and I’m sure they know what used to be on my page. The logo and new name for the Google personalized homepage changed to iGoogle last night.
Google Desktop for Mac (beta) download available
Apr 4th
You can find the download link for Google Desktop for Mac on the Official Google Mac Blog: Google Desktop for Mac as of this morning. I’m a frequent user of Spotlight, but have not been totally satisfied with it and was eagerly awaiting the Leopard release for OS X to see if it improved, but for now, I’ll try Google Desktop.
