#29 Google Tools

WOW! Google is taking over the world. I am a fan of many of the Google tools. I have a gmail account but have been using yahoo for so long, making the change now would be difficult. At some point I may go for a paid yahoo account which would allow me to check it from the gmail page and also some of the custom start pages (see #28). I think that the calendar feature could be very useful to teachers who want to create their own web pages and are using something like blogger or pbwiki. However I do think there are better options for a teacher page then blogger or pbwiki.
I thought that the Goog411 thing rocks. I haven't tried it yet but think it would come in handy when traveling.
The Google health app also looks really interesting. I checked and my hospitals, clinics, etc. are not yet available for data impute. I'm not ready to start loading my info yet but think the possibilities are interesting.

# 28 Start Pages

I have looked at the google and yahoo start pages in the past but after reading the articles I was not utilizing them to the full potential. I had not heard of Pageflakes or Netvibes before this project. I like the looks and feel of the netbvibes the most but find that the most important feature, my yahoo email, can’t be accessed without a paid account.
I spent my time going back and adding features to my yahoo start page. I wish that the facebook app did not time out after 20 minutes. It would also be nice to have my twitter feed available. If anyone knows how to work around this please let me know.
