Google adds RSS to Google Personalized Homepage
Google now supports the ability to add RSS and Atom feeds to the Google Personalized Homepage, rather than just news and info pre-selected by Google.
Although not as good as the RSS/Atom support on My Yahoo!, Google is on the right track here. I've tried other web-based feed aggregators, and I still go back to My Yahoo because I prefer the very simplified layout of the feeds. Google's implementation is also very cool, and it's even easier to re-order and reposition the feeds than with My Yahoo (just drag and drop). This could be a My Yahoo killer at some point.
One big problem with Google's implementation is that it seems not to accept RSS that is dynamically generated; my blog's feed works fine, but a dynamically generated RSS feed like my del.icio.us feed seems not to work. They'll need to fix that before I switch over to Google for my RSS reading needs.
