I could have spent the remainder of the evening "playing" in igoogle and with the calendar. I was already very familiar with the gmail features available and use them quite regularly. Just today, I sold a goat by attaching some adorable photos of the kid to an interested party. I haven't used the chat function, because I only chat online with my husband when he is abroad and we have used the Skype video chat exclusively. I have used the signature block also. I use it as a marketing tool for my home-based business. One new function that I did discover is the multiple star system. In the past, I have starred items of key importance. I now realize that I have the ability to color code my star system.
A more exciting discovery was the benefit I see in using the calendar options. Sharing family birthdays will be of great benefit when several family members utilize this program. Student birthday could also be added in a school setting. Marriage enhancement is another side benefit. Family's can put children's school functions to include times and locations so that each parent can plan for and attend these events. Team teachers can also share their individual projected lesson plans with one another or with incoming substitute teachers.
IGoogle was my favorite new find of the night. I had never visited or used this function and boy, did I have fun designing my page. I changed the theme, added a scripture and motivational thought of the day. I put my 2 favorite mind games and many other personal likes on this page. The convenience of having news, weather, a to do list and other things that I usually search out on the internet in one place on my IGoogle will be nice.

Good job! Thanks :-)
