Beyond Method #2

I tried out the iGoogle customized Internet window.  The page is easy to use (an easy way to read my Gmail).  The page is a little busy with more information than I will use.  The spotlight video was annoying, but I was able to change it to one of the other videos.  The gadgets are easy to add or delete.  They are fun to play with if you have the time to play.  It is easy to change the theme.  There are several to choose from. I read about Netvibes, My Yahoo!, and Pageflakes. Many of the Netvibes features are not available in the free version.   Netvibs, My Yahoo, and Pageflakes look about the same.  It was interesting to try out different customized windowsl  I can use most of the features for these services with our library pages and Outlook.
