Thing #16 - start page

For this I used igoogle. I am trying very hard to avoid downloading anything else to my computer.
I personally would never use this other than for this assignment. I use Outlook for all my calendar needs and have text sent directly to my blackberry for any news reports and weather.
Here is a link to my page:

I liked the online to do list. And the little games and interactive applications you can add are fun as well. Especially if you spend the majority of your day in front of a computer and need a little distraction.
I liked igoogle because it did not involve having sign up for yet another service. Due to the tools I already use that work great for me, I will not make this my permanent home page.
If someone did not have Outlook, I can see the online calendar being a huge help as well as the to do list. Especially if you are inclined to use technology to help you organize your day.

Zamzar is a great program. There are so many times I have a document and need to convert it for a different use in a different venue. This site is one I am bookmarking for future use.
