Thing 28: Customized Home Pages

I chose to try out the iGoogle service because I already use gmail and google calendar so it seemed like the logical choice for something that I hope to continue to use after I am done with this thing. I am a huge fan of Google and all the services that they offer. I thought that it was pretty easy to set up. I did it on my home computer and plan on using it on a daily basis. I added the weather and news features as well as movie times in my area. These are things that I check on a pretty regular basis so I thought that it made sense to be able to get easy access to them on my homepage when I first get onto the internet. I like the personalization that we can add and looking throught the gadgets and widgets there are some fun games and such that you can add. I chose not to add these to my homepage because they are not exactly the thing that I would like to check on or see when I first get onto the internet.
