- Which start page did you choose? Why did that one appeal to you? Will you make it your permanent home page?
I looked at all the different home page generators. I think this is a very cool idea. I currently have yahoo as my home page. I don't like it for the simple fact that it contains all this stuff that doesn't interest me. Using these generators resolves this issue. I liked iGoogle and Page Flakes. Netvibes seemed a little to complex for me. IGoogle starts off as a blank canvas and the user creates it from the ground up. Page Flakes starts off with a basic template then the user can go in a tweak it to his/her liking.
- How can the online calendars be useful to you?
When I was younger, keeping up with important dates was mommy's job. When I left the nest for college it became my job. I struggled with it for a while. Then one day something just flipped and now I am all about my date book. I honestly think I would be lost without it. In fact I know I would be! The only thing that keeps me away from online calendars is that they are online. I like the fact that I have a planner that I can hold and always carry with me in my purse or daily bag. I'm also afraid that not being able to see it all the time would cause me to forget things. But this is just the type of person I am. Different strokes for different folks.
- What about the to-do lists—helpful, too much work…?
I love the to do lists. I am a big to do list maker. I make one every week for all the stuff I need to get done during the week. I have a place in my cell phone that allows me to make lists similar to these sites. I love it! I put my grocery list on there. It is so handy. :)
