iGoogle

I was originally skeptical about this course. I'm a tech kind of guy, I know tech kinds of things and a course on acronyms was the last thing I thought I needed. What Technical Fluency has done is forced me to try new things. It's not that I am opposed to new things, I'm just a late adopter. I don't like to waste time learning fads.

So, on to the Tech stuff. Today, I tried iGoogle and I can't tell you how cool it is, you just have to go see for yourself. For those of you who have never seen it, it's a customizable portal page. It remembers who you are and whenever you go there, the widgets you have put on the page are right where you left them. On my Marlboro tab, (yes, it's a tabbed interface) I put GMail, GoogleTalk, and GoogleReader (so I can check out all of YOUR Blogs)

What I CAN'T put on there is a link to my Blog's data entry screen and a link to Moodle. I am guessing that neither has an RSS feed and so can't be widgitized. I'll keep you posted.
