Thing #16

I choose to use netvibes.com just because I was already pretty familiar with google and wanted to try to something else. It really wasn't that different at all. It seemed to have more news information, but it was already set up to show certain news feed, where as with google you have to suggest or pick certain feeds, which netvibes also offered as well. I would defiantly continue to use my google, nothing worth switching for with the netvibes.

I use the google calendars, in fact I think I wrote about it in one of my previous blogs? Anyways- I had my school schedule set up with the google calenders and every different class was a color coded onto the specific days with specific times. I also had it set up to alarm when important assignments are due- like the 23 things :) but a word of advise for assignments like the 23things- don't have the alarm the go off just a couple days before lol!

My last "tool" I choose to explore was MyStickies.com This was really easy to use. Its basically like having your bookmarks or favorites right there in front of you. However unlike favorites or bookmarks- you can write notes on any web page. It is a really useful tool- I just hope I remember to use it and I am still trying to figure out if there is a way to set your already saved "favorites" onto mystickies? or if I will have to go to each page and "stickies" it myself?
