Thing # 16

Which start page did you choose? Why did that one appeal to you?
I chose igoogle as my homepage. I liked setting the theme to my homepage. I chose entertainment as one of my main interests and BAM all I could ever ask for in entertainment was just a click away. I loved the T.V. guide section and the latest movie reviews. They let me know what the weather was and what bands were playing close to home. This was a very cool option. I honestly chose it because it was first. I had planned to look at the others, but I liked the first one so much that I did not care to try the others out.

I'm not sure if I will make it my permanent homepage. Right now my home page is Austin Peay's website which is useful. I visit this site multiple times a day. I think that if I had the igoogle as my homepage, I would become more distracted and less focused on school. Maybe igoogle will be my summer homepage. =)
How can the online calendars be useful to you?

I LOVE to make lists. However, I was not looking forward to this website. I tried it out anyway...and I loved it! I actually took it seriously and made a to do list for this weekend. It was really easy and not complicated at all. I actually messed up and clicked enter too soon and was sad because I didn't know how to fix it, but I scrolled up and saw that you could edit your list. Then I realized that some of my things were out of order and then I saw that there was the option to reorder your list and all you had to do was drag it in to place. I loved this tool and will use it often. The only negative thing I have to say about the list is that when I printed it out, the print was too small...so I tried to copy and paste it to Microsoft word to make the font bigger but it didn't look right... I guess you are supposed to check it off on the computer, but I want to create it on the computer and then be able to have a hardcopy.

I tried out the stickynotes.com. I like the idea of leaving your friends notes and reminder. I have a job in which I have to remind my staff to do things..sticky notes would be nice as little reminders and pick me ups!
