Thing 14: Online Productivity Tools

Okay, so I don't want to sound like some snobby Mac ad but widgets are nothing new if you've owned one in the past 5 years. Pageflake and igoogle and myYahoo! are basically the same as the "dashboard" feature on macs, they've even got the sticky notes thing. Even cooler if you have an iphone you can download all these cool little widgets to your phone and take them anywhere! (Geez, I am a walking mac ad, Steve Jobs would be so proud.)
These applications however are great for PC users and people (like me) who can't afford a snazzy iphone. For my PC here at work I signed up for igoogle, which is super simple to do.
I had fun adding all the little gadgets, I love the music gadget that lists all the live shows in your area, it's something I will actually use! A few of the ones I added no longer worked, so that was a let down. Also, I think the to-do lists and sticky notes are little useless, there's no point in me making a list that I can't take with me. Maybe one day when I have that iphone.....
