Anyone notice that if you are logged onto your Google Adsense account, Google Groups account, or Google Gmail account that the Google home page now includes a "Personalized Home" option, "My Account" option, and "Sign Out" option? And if you aren't logged in yet, the Google Home page gives you an option to sign on via a link in the upper-right hand corner. Here's a screenshot of the upper-right hand corner of my browser showing the new options available on Google.
When you go into My Account, I was hoping for some sort of "unified portal" depicting various statistics and information across all of my Google accounts (i.e. unread email, daily Adsense revenue, etc.), but alas, it's simply hyperlinks to the various Google offerings.
I wonder how long has Google's home page has had this feature. For all I know it's been there for weeks and I've just been too busy to notice. Anyone know?

It's been there for quite some time now... the new "personalized" home page resides at http://www.google.com/ig
Thanks.
i knew Google had the personalize home page and in fact I played around with it when the news came out. But I could have sworn you had to go into Google Labs (beta stuff) to get to the personalize home page. Didn't think Google added it to the home page yet. But I guess I just didn't notice that Google added it to the home page. So how bad was my attention? Did they add it a few days ago, weeks, months? years?
Google always launches some kind of new things that is why it is on the top.Google beta,Google toolbar,google adwords,Adsense are some of them features that Google offers.
I don't know about you, but this kind of stuff creeps me the hell out. I want to know how to remove it and remove my email address from their snooping, prying eyes.
It's bad enough that (from the Patriot Act and other legislation) that these search engines are required to keep search terms catalogued with their associated IP addresses, but this sort of snooping/advertising pitched as "personlization" peeves me to no end.
It's creepy space invasion.
Google man, back off.
