#8 iGoogle

Well we've discovered Google Docs, Google Maps and Google Books. Now it's time to check out iGoogle.


Google offers the ability to create a personalized iGoogle page that gives you at-a-glance access to key information from Google and across the web. On this self-designed page, you can choose and organize content such as:


Your latest Gmail messages
Headlines from Google News and other top news sources
Your RSS feeds.
Weather forecasts, stock quotes, and movie showtimes
Bookmarks for quick access to your favorite sites from any computer
Your own section with content you find from across the web
Google Book Search
