Thing 28: My Own Personal Page--iGoogle vs. My Yahoo!



Before starting this Thing, I already had My Yahoo! I didn't have any fancy gadgets, just the weather, emails, and news headlines. I have since added movie show-times (if I don't see it in the theater, I won't see it!) I saw the spot where I could add my RSS Feeds to the page, but haven't delved into that. Once I figure it out, that would make it super handy for me.

Since I already had My Yahoo! I figured it would be like cheating to just blog about that, so I got signed on for iGoogle. I already had signed on for the Google Reader and Google Docs, so it was no big deal to make a page for myself with those things added to it. Also included on my page are the current moon phase, weather, hangman, Google Translate and movie show times.

Which will I use more? My Yahoo! Since I have Yahoo as my home page, that would make sense. Although I did find it easier to add stuff to the iGoogle page. Maybe I should just switch my homepage over to that!

It is something to think about, isn't it? The stuff added at the end of your blog really fits well with the topic of your post. Might have to take another look at Outbrain myself.
