Firstly, I used the Google start page. Why? Because since Blogger is connected to Google I already had one to begin with so no signing up for something new. HOORAY! Also, I just really like Google. A lot.
I customized the snot out of my page (it was fun!) Deleted useless things like the YouTube gadget ( I mean really I see no point) and made it to where I see how many feeds I gotten over the time I've been away. Also, you can add a theme, so your page looks pretty. I've been on a Celtic/Ireland kick lately so the rolling emerald hills greet me every time I open iGoogle now. :D
I also found as I was searching for gadgets, that there's a to-do list gadget on there! So I added some stuff (such as work on 23things haha) to it! Since most everything is centered there now, except my e-mail accout I'm planning on making it my homepage.
I didn't really look into an online caldender or to-do list since the iGoogle page already has them and they work rather well as far as I can tell. Personally I'd rather have it all in one place than having to go to like twenty million sites. But there are so many advantages of having a calender and to-do list online: 1) you can't lose it, 2) since I'm on the computer a lot it's always there as soon as I open the browser and 3) you don't run out of room to add more stuff on the actual page!
The last thing I did was explore one of the 'other' things on the page. I looked at Zamzar. All I can say is, where were you when my iPod died and I had to reburn all my cds because the stupid iPod program burned them as m4a's and my new Sansa only supports mp3's? ;____________; It would have been golden then. But now its still super cool. I totally book marked the site.
