I chose iGoogle because it syncs with my Gmail account. It has everything that I usually check when I get on the Internet in one spot. You can also change the background photo and page theme. Bookmarks and widgets help navigate the web to other sites that I normally search for. I will not make it my personal homepage because the APSU one stop log in page is my current home page. APSU one stop and D2L is where I spend most of my Internet hours anyways.
Online calendars, like Google calendar, are helpful in organizing dates and meetings. You can color code your calendars, have more than one for different schedules, and if you have a Gmail account it can sync to your iPhone so you have the calendar with you always.
The to-do lists were an OK tool. I preferred Remember the Milk the most because of the layout and many tabs. The site is organized in my opinion and easy to follow. Unfortunately, I wont need to use it hardly because I have a To-do list application on my iPhone that I can quickly type up with no Internet access needed. Sometimes for me to really make sure I get something done, I have to write it on my hand so I will constantly see it and be reminded. That's only for extreme cases!
Google Calendars is the most useful tool I have come across, and I encourage others to get a Gmail account and play around with Google calendar.
