iGoogle is something I use a lot; I particularly like being able to have a homepage with sticky notes and simple tools like a calculator close to hand. Of course I could find a calculator easily enough by typing one word into Google, but I like it to be there waiting for me. I had however forgotten how irritating it is to set up. Half of the gadgets work intermittently or not at all, and often it says something has been added that doesn't appear, until you do it again when it appears twice. Still, once it's right it's right, and I think of it as a friendly space that works for me.Friday 29 January 2010

Funny the appeal of real-world items like sticky-notes and calculators. When will we get a virtual stapler to link multiple documents?
