I use Google Chrome and I like the simplicity of the homepage. All of my most visited websites on one page. I can see how knowing the iGoogle homepage could be useful, but I don't think I would honestly ever use it. Maybe I need to play around with it some more. While I'm typing this I'm moving back and forth between this screen and my iGoogle homepage I'm setting up. So far all I've been doing is deleting gadgets. I'm going to try to set up some bookmarks and RSS feeds, but I really think that I'm going to go back to my regular Chrome homepage.
I feel about the same way with online calendars. I can see how they would be helpful for people with a large family, but for my own personal use I don't think I would ever really use one. I have my phone on me almost constantly, so any information I need I can store there without having to worry about portability. I can, of course, see how online calendars would be great in a classroom setting-- not only would you be able to share with the students when assignments are due, but parents could also be aware of what the daily lessons were and what is expected of their children in the near future. There would be no last minute runs to the store.
I really like the web site Lifehacker. There's so much information there, presented in such an easy and engaging way, that it's kind of a little mini-heaven for a trivia fan like me. I love knowing things and knowing where to go to find new things. Like right now, I know that I need to get a belt replaced on my car. A few clicks on Lifehacker and bam: How to Change a Serpentine Belt. I would definitely recommend Lifehacker to my friends.
