Start your day off right
November 13, 2006
Posted by Mike Horowitz, Product Manager, Google Apps for Your Domain
How do people in your company, school or organization start their day after their morning cup of coffee? It would be pretty great if they could fire up their browser and go to a page where they have everything they need to get their day going -- a summary of their inbox and calendar, company or school news, important links, plus a Google search box. It'd be even better if this page was highly customizable -- by your organization and by your people -- and didn't cost buckets of money to build and maintain.
I've thought a lot about this challenge, and I'm excited to finally tell everyone about what I've been working on: a brand new feature of
Google Apps for Your Domain
called the "start page." With this, organizations can provide a dynamic and unique-to-you central access point for essential information. Setting it up is quick and easy -- much like setting up a Google Personalized Homepage -- but with custom logos, colors and your organization's own content, in addition to modules from our
gadget library
. Then each of your users can take your organization's default page and change it up so it's just right for them.
To create a start page for your organization for free, sign up for Google Apps for Your Domain or log in to your existing account. If you think this would be useful but don't make these kinds of decisions for your school, business or organization, point your IT administrators to
