New "Personalized Google" feature

Google has added a new feature to the "Personalized Google" homepage. Googlers can now add a widget to their homepage that will present them with relevant information from Google Video and other Google properties.

You can easily access these recommendations by adding the "Interesting Items" gadget directly to your personalized homepage.
