I chose to use iGoogle for my personal start page because I use Google for everything else. I explored the others but they were not as nice as iGoogle. iGoogle automatically synchronized my email, RSS, and Facebook. I will most likely make this my permanent start page because I can access my email and news feeds quickly. A screen shot of my iGoogle is below.
The online calendars can be useful for staying organized and on task with friends, family, and colleagues. Sharing calendars with others is a good way to see events and dates that you might have forgotten to include in your own calendar. It also is a good way to let people know all of the things you are involved in.
I explored the Remember the Milk online to-do-list. It was simple to use but I don't see myself using it very much because it is a separate site that I have to log on to just use. I can make a much more convenient to-do-list using sticky notes in Windows 8.
I found a site called Team Cowboy. If you are the coach of a school sanctioned sports team you can manage the teams practices and game schedule, roster, pictures and videos, and message and discussion boards. It is designed for use by coaches and teachers who also coach school sports teams. I would recommend this site to other teachers/coaches as team management system. Below is a screen shot of the team home page.
