Thing #16

I enjoyed playing around with the different web 2.0 tools. When we were discovering all the wonders of iGoogle, I made a beautiful home page with five different tabs. So, I played around with it some more, adding more stuff. I decided to try out a different home page, so I tried PageFlakes. It did indeed have much local information, but I still like iGoggle better, so I made it my absolute permanent home page. My other tabs besides home are humor, games, cooking, and olympics. So I can just flip through my tabs and get all kinds of info. I added "funny cat pictures" to my home page and every time I open it up, I get a random crazy cat picture! The other two tools I tried out were 30 Boxes , for my calendar, and Ta da list, for my to do list. I liked the calendar okay, but I can do just as well with my calendar on my kitchen wall!! However, I really liked the to do list. I made a list of things to do next week and I have already finished one item and checked it off! I can see how it will be very helpful. I will definitely use that tool next year at school to keep up with things I need to do. I definitely would recommend the iGoogle home page to everyone. It is such a great way to stay organized!!
