Thing #30 RSS and Delicious

I had already set up account for both. I set up Bloglines shortly before doing the things then I tried out Google Reader with the 23 Things. But now that I have set up an iGoogle I will use Reader.

I went back into Delicious, but could not remember what my user name was (found that out after bookmarking sites I had bookmarked before). I was able to add it to iGoogle so I will be less likely to forget. AND will be able to use it on any computer.

By the way, I just added that last post from my iGoogle.

Thing #29 Google Tools

I really don't have much use for the Search Tools, but did try out Google News and then added a subject to the library iGoogle.

In productivity I set up a Sites for the library. It was not real intuitive and took quite awhile to figure out. But I have a Site!

I already had a Google calendar so I embedded that in my Sites.

My son put goog-411 in my phone, but have not needed to use it yet.

Thing #28 customize home page

I have tried both my MyYahoo and iGoogle. My email is yahoo, but I have Picasa (Google) for my photos. I added Facebook to iGoogle. I also added reader and a few other things. I originally set it up with the first 23 things, but hadn't used it since. I find it easier to open a tab for each thing I am using. MyYahoo does not let me add Twitter or Blogger.

It was actually quite easy to set up both, but could spend a lot of time tweeking.

I also have iGoogle for the library since we use Google for many things. I can do twitter, our blog and googledocs all in one place plus keep track of the temperature! I have found this really handy.
