iGoogle ... in the library


Yesterday I stumbled across Penny Schenk's comment on Rach's iGoogle post. Penny mentioned that it was possible to add Google Bookmarks to an iGoogle page in order to link directly to websites of your choice without using specific gadgets. I've decided to give this a try, and have created an iGoogle page for work. In addition to some of the news feeds mentioned below, useful gadgets include the XE Currency Conversion Tracker and the Sticky Note. My most heavily-used gadget is, of course, Google Bookmarks, since it links to all the sites that are essential for my work.

I’ve been using this start page for about a week now, and it does seem to help me be slightly more efficient. The pretty iGoogle theme and Firefox persona also lift my mood, which is never a bad thing!
