I chose iGoogle as my start page because I have a Gmail and this one just made sense. I did make it my permanent home page because it has everything that I need: e-mail, news, weather, calendar, and Google search. The online calendar is useful to me because I can set important reminders, look at my month at a glance, plan future events through my Google calendar. I also looked at BackPackit and found this site extremely user friendly because of the sidebar. Also, BackPack incorporates calenders, notes, images and files. The to-do list that I have been using is Remember the Milk and I have found it to be really useful but somewhat time consuming. All you have to do is create tasks, locations, or events and you get an instant reminder. Eventually I would like to get the app for this site and be able to use it on my phone! I think I would use this site more if I had it on my phone and did not have to log in with my computer. Another cool tool that I found handy is the Stickynotes. I'm in love with Post its so this site was instantly attractive to me. The tools that I would recommend for home:
1. iGoogle
2. Backpack
These are the sites I would recommend for school!
3. Remember the Milk
