[HEXUS.news]It's that time again, when Google unleash something new to the world, and everybody is compelled to try it out. This time it's the new version of their Desktop Search facility, which has a host of new personalisations.

I have installed the system monitor plugin and removed most of the other panels. I'm not sure I'll find it useful in a week's time. It's like a lot of things that I use already, but all in one place, and it's not like the other means of accessing that information is at all cumbersome as far as I'm concerned.
Nonetheless it is at the very least a nifty bit of kit.
There IS an RSS news reader (pretty much.) "Web picks" will pick up RSS feeds from sites you visit and you can add your own. Still, not quite how I like it.Originally Posted by PrivatePyle
A winamp plugin would be nice I guess, but I can't really see it enriching my life in any way.
Further to my comments in the HEXUS.news story, now that indexing is complete, the three (oh no, four, it seems) Google related processes in my task list take up less than half the memory they did previously.
Can you make the sidebar auto-hide?
I'm liking the indexing idea but I'm not too sure about the other bits.
EDIT - Found it now.
A lot of the stuff it does I use konfabulator widgets for and they look a lot nicer.
I'll give it a few days to see if I actually find any use for it.

A brilliant idea for turning all your personal preferences over to Google... hmm.
