I set up an iGoogle page, and My Yahoo page, and also PageFlakes. They are all very similar. I do go to the iGoogle page ever day and the My Yahoo page from time to time. It is nice to have everything that you want on one page. I also go to PageFlakes about once a week. I do not think I will make any of these my home page.
I do like the calendar tools. I have a calendar set up on my Yahoo page with Birthdays on it and it sends me an email when a Birthday is coming up in a few days and also the day of the Birthday. I tried the To Da List and Remember Milk list tools. They were very easy and great tools, but I am a paper and pen person, with lists in my purse and at home on the counter and also sticky notes around my desk. For me it is easier to grab a pen and paper and quick write a note, then to go to the site and have to enter it in. I guess it would be something I could try. Backpack was fun to go through and could really be a great place to keep everything you need for an event, trip, meeting, etc.
I tried 30 Boxes, I thought it was too confusing. Also, looked at Stikkit. I have used Zamzar and this is an easy way to transform you files, worksheets, from one format to another.
This was a fun and educational Thing to do.

I went to all four of these sights and read some of the articles. I also did the tours/intro for all four of them. I set up accounts in all four also. It is a very fast and easy way to see what the top stories are for the day. Also, if you have favorite things you like to keep up with, you can customize your personal page on the sites and look up articles/news on your favorite topics, etc. I think this would be a good tool for libraries to have. Students need to write a report on the current events, they just go to one of these sights and it is right there for them to read and write a report about it.
I may use these sights from time to time. They have alot of information on one website, and it can be personalized for each indiviuals likes.
