I love iGoogle. I can do everything from there. I installed lots of gadgets there. Let’s see.
- I have a clock and calander, which I don’t look at very often.
- I have a countdown clock. I love that. I countdown to important dates using that.
- I have my Google Reader to read the latest updates from my favourite blogs (which opens up in a bubble)
- I have all the local and overseas news links so that I can catch up with the latest news at a glance
- I have a motivational poster so that my page won’t look so boring
- I have my Google News Links
- I have quick links to all my favourite pages, Blogger, Paypal, eBay, Google Maps, YouTube etc (I used to have YouTube embedded but I didn’t look at it so I discarded it)
- I can view and reply to mails from my GMail and Hotmail
- I can veiw and comment on status updates from Facebook
- I can tweet and view latest tweets on Twitter
- I can see the latest comments from all my blog posts because I have the blog comments rss for all my blogs there
As if that is not enough, I created 3 other pages for my iGoogle personalised pages. One is for parenting. One on Entertainment and one more on Health. I regularly change the theme to suit my mood.
In short, I read news, blogs, comments on my blogs, tweet, update FB status, read and reply to Gmail and Hotmail all on the same page. I love iGoogle!
Thanks for this info! I must check it out. I’m currently opening up a 101 pages on my browser. Hubby says I’m going nuts!
mom2kiddos, Haha. I use Google reader to blog hop on the iGoogle page so I don’t have to open up so many windows. I also get the latest updates on everything. For example, your latest posts on twitter, fb and on your blog will all pop up on my iGoogle page since I subscribe to you on Google reader, follow you on twitter and we are FB fren fren. Hehe.
I wanted to try adding google reader but I can’t seems to be able to find the gadget.. mind telling me where? Thanks
