With a host of services that now are part of Google, Google is search no more. Its fast running on to become your web portal. With the launch of Google Personalize at Google Labs, the company is testing a new tool to provide personalize view of various content and services that Google hosts.

Apart from search I am a regular user of various other google services which includes Google News, Gmail, Google Suggest, Search History, Web Alerts, Google as a word dictionary, Image Search, and sometime the Translation facility.

And all these features provides a very high value to the web users. Like Search History facility for an example, at times I am looking back and searching for a thing which I had in the past but now I am not able to recall the keywords used. So Search History helps in performing a Search Redo :)

Google News is another marvelous site as it saves lots of time for a web user in visiting various news websites looking for news. With Google News in single page you get to see content from thousands of news sources.
