Google Week

I’ve been using a lot of Google’s services lately. I’ve always said gMail is the best thing that happened to e-mail but now I find myself using them for almost everything. I had originally wrote a very long post on all of these unsaid services but intead I’m going to make this Google week.

Google ig
The personalized page is pretty cool. I never liked a landing page for my web browsing but I’ve found ig helps center a lot of my web experience in a single page. And I’m very impressed with some of the new modules because the last time I checked they all stunk.
The modules I use: digg, google reader, gmail, google calendar, to-do list, and a timer. I’ll have to say these widgets are very well made; the google reader scrolls within itself and you can choose from your labels, the Google Calendar module is awesome because it allows you to do everything you need to do without having to go to it’s web page, flickr images gives me a personal picture collage and the gmail preview is very lite and centers out my space.

  • I'm talking about the Google one. You can add it to your page as many times as you want, and you will have that many lists, you just have to name them differently.
  • Dan
    You should make one that works with tada lists.
  • Dan
    I tried all of them and I still don't see the one that has multiple lists.
  • The default google one. I saw that the RL one had more features, but I think you have to sign up for that one, so I haven't done it yet.
  • Dan
    Which to-do list are you using?
  • Yeah, ig is great. I hadn't checked out the new modules in a while, until you posted this.

    The todo list is great, especially since you can add multiple separate lists (named differently), since there are no categories on them.
