Thing #16

For the start page I just went with my iGoogle start page. I did look at PageFlakes (which was having technical difficulties) and Netvibes, but I have been using iGoogle for awhile and I like it the best. The gadgets are easy to add. Also, I love that I can easily get to my Google Reader from it.  It is set to my home page on my computer already. I feel as though I am repeating myself a little from previous blogs, but online calendars can be extremely useful. There is not a limited to how much or what you can add to it. It is extremely organized and you can have reminders set for your convenience. The only thing I said that could be a bit of a hassle is one if you need to look at your calendar and you are not able to access a computer or if you have an internet connection that you have to connect to; it can be a little annoying to go through that process just to be able to look at your calendar. I really like to do lists so the To Da list was pretty cool to me personally. I like how you just type what you need to get done and it is automatically formatted with the check off boxes. Plus you can rearrange the list in order of importance very easily. Out of the other tools I thought MyStickies were a really neat idea. The concept of them is that you can paste sticky notes on webpages and save them so that when you come back you can see the notes or flags you have posted. This would come in extremely handy during researching assignments for school.
