There’s probably countless ways to create your own ‘home page’, these days. Heck, in this regard “My Yahoo” was really ahead of its time. For a long time I didn’t want to deal with what I assumed was a set up process and any time required to get used to the page itself. However, when you take a moment to realize that you are visiting the same sites over and over to find the same information you have many times before… and possibly in the same sequence, even… you start to appreciate what something like iGoogle can do for you.
So far, so good! Now, I have my email, calendar, task list, weather, news, maps and even my horoscope all right in front of me and right under the google search that I hit so many times during the day. I’m just getting started with it and it only took me about a minute to set up. I have too many items on my task list that are of high importance to spend extra time looking into the other things iGoogle can organize for me or to look into all the various applications you can supposedly use but I plan on doing so in the near future.
