Customize the Google Home Page With Your Favorite Pics Now

-

If you were just fed up of the plain white Google home page and had lately developed some liking for Microsoft’s search engine Bing because of its colorful pictures in the background, Google wont’t let you go so easily. Bringing the customization option to its home page, Google has once again proved that the company is always striving to achieve its goals of innovation and customer satisfaction.

Enabling adding a little more personal feel to your Google home page, Google now allows its users to add their favorite images to the background. Whether the pictures are loaded on your Picasa web album, in the hard drive of your system or public gallery hosted by Picasa, you may now add any of your favorite images for a personalized experience. But the sad part is that you use the colorful Google logo that is replaced with a white one instead.

Those of you who are happy with the clean and simple interface can stick to it as long as you want. Also if at any time you wish to switch back to the white home page after having played enough with the new feature, Google allows that quickly.

Currently the feature has already been turned live in the U.S. with the international rollout in the process. So those of you who haven’t seen the option until now, will be able to customize the Google home page in some time soon.

This isn’t the first time Google has added the personalization touch to its services. We have already seen this similar feature in iGoogle and somewhat in Gmail as well. Google has always been found working hard to enhance the experience of its services for its users and has most of the time emerged out as a winner. The feature might resemble closely to that of its rival search engine Bing but like its said “ All is fair in love and war!” So are you ready to accept the new change?
