My iGoogle

iGoogle is a one-stop page for various multimedia needs. Its your own personal homepage where you can include your email and several other "gadgets" such as news, entertainment, a calendar, and etc. Gadgets are somewhat like apps on an iPod or iPhone (hence the name iGoogle), and you can even create your own, so iGoogle is a custom experience for everyone. Among the gadgets necessary for the course, I've added a hamster on my page so I have a furry companion while working, and I tried adding a Pandora gadget but it didn't work. So far I really like how much tinkering can be done with iGoogle, but it seems like the gadgets may slow down the page a bit. It will be useful for me because you can integrate your gmail account, which was an irreplaceable tool in my last computer class.
