Thing #16: Get Organized With Web 2.0 tools

The iGoogle customized home page is a feature which I used to use when my computer everyday. I found it to be much less annoying than the yahoo or msn home pages which often showed things I was not interested in reading about. However, since I purchased an iPhone and an iPad I rarely use an internet browser outside of school assignments, in which case I don't have time to browse through a page filled with things I am interested in. In the future, when I have more need to be on a computer daily I could see myself using something like iGoogle again.

Currently, I use the Google calendar to syn my school assignments. The majority of online accounts I use are linked to my gmail address so entering my assignments into that calendar often helps to keep me on track.

I created an account with GradeFixed, however I did not like how difficult they made editing tasks after they had already been created. The concept sounded appealing but there is certainly room for this program to grow. Personally, I did not find this site to be helpful. I will be looking for a similar tool that is better developed in the near future.
