In Google Labs, they recently added new idea – “Personalize Your Homepage”. You can add stuff under the normal Google search box:
- Gmail
- Stock Market
- New York Times
- BBC News
- Google News
- Weather
- Wired News
- Slashdot
- Movies
- Driving Directions
- Show quotes
- Word of the Day

There aren’t too many options to choose from yet, but I guess it is pretty decent if you are using Gmail. And I like how you can drag and move around the components.
