New Bloglines Notifier for Google Homepage

May 18, 2006  

Today I had a play with the Google Homepage API. It’s quite simple. I’ve never been one for rationalising all of my information in the one place, nor do I usually set a browser homepage but I like the Google Personalised Homepage. I can see how many new GMail messages I’ve got, see the weather forecast, news highlights, etc. And because my Bloglines Notifier keeps crashing and I’m in no mood to move to yet another feed aggregator (yes, I know Google has one), I decided to create a new Gadget for my homepage which tells me how many new items there are in my Bloglines feeds, with a link to my feed homepage.

If you’d like to use my notifier download it here. For instructions on how to install it, see Google Gadgets or wait for it to be added to their directory and add it directly.
