I chose iGoogle as the start page I wanted to explore. I already have a G-mail account, and enjoy all things Google. It was very easy and fun to create (see my post on Thing #12). I plan on definitely making it my homepage.
The online calenders are definitely useful. I can print them out or upload to iCal on my mac. I can also view the calendar anywhere there is Internet access. I like the idea of the to-do lists being online, because you can bring it up at another location, including your cell phone. It would be quicker for me to just write my to-do list, since I do not use the Internet on my cell phone.
I would definitely recommend the MyStickies site. This site allows you to put sticky notes on web pages, so that when you go back to them, you would know what interested you the first time. I could use this and bookmark those sites using social bookmarking. My students can then pull up those sites, and read the sticky notes, as well as post their own. This feature has to be downloaded to the computer in order to be used.
