    Nope, mom and dad both have it as their homepage and I really don't like the layout of it.

    I much prefer the BBC one - news, weather, tv listings. I can check my email if I want to, I don't like 'busy' webpages

    Im happy with vanilla google. When I want to load my browser i usually have a destination in mind, wether its my bank account, hulu, or boards or blogs like gizmodo and the consumerist. I dont have time to watch it load up a plethora of shyte im not interested in. Google takes **** all time to load in comparison to anything else.

    A customisable google homepage full of shite that just clogs up the page.

    I liked the idea but found that to much was going on in it and hard to focus on anything.

    but you can delete anything off it that you dont want and just have the 2 or 3 things you need/want on the screen

    Never really paid much attention to it. Just had a peek at it there now, I'm sure if I messed around with it for a while I'd get it in such a way that I'd like it.

    Yeah I've used it for the last couple of years, handy for seeing all the headlines in one view... and I also like my Studio Ghibli theme.
