iGoogle: a great FREE tool to keep Realtors in the know!

 

 

iGoogle

 

Probably quite a few of you

know about and use the iGoogle feature-

in about 15 minutes, you can set up a tabbed Google homepage

(my iGoogle is pictured above)

to do just what you want it to do:

clocks in time zones, calculators, search boxes, keyword news searchs

blog searches, mapping tools, YouTube search box-

it even refreshes the page when you do!

 There are literally hundreds of widgets to collect you information,

and deliver it to you every time you go to Google.

...it's a great thing to have in the morning, all day and before bedtime!

Blog On!

    Sara,

    Thanks!

    I have been using Igoogle since about the first week it came out.  I got a buddy that is a google-man

    Igoogle is definitely popular.  I did like having the weather page-locally for my city there when I got on every morning.

    I hesitated to look at this because I become overwhelmed sometimes with all the "cool" stuff out there. But here I am and now I will have to check this out. Couldn't resist, could I? Thanks! ;)

    I've been using my iGoogle page for a while.  I used to have it as a blog reader... outgrew that!.  But, I love getting the headline, weather, and a few other things regularly.

    Thanks for the heads up. I will have to check it out.

    Dave, -

     

    As someone once said to me, it's Bill Gate's world, but Googles' universe!

    Jim,

    I agree with you-but for what I do, that iGoogle page is a HUGE resource.

     

    Thanks for stopping by,

    Wendy,

    It is pretty easy to get overwhelmed-what I have found is that an iGoogle pages saves oceans of time looking for what you want and you get to decide what is important!

    David,

    During the work week, iGoogle is usually the late-night update before hitting the sack.

    Eugene,

    iGoogle can keep your head up and heading in the right direction. I am resisting the temptation to set up several!

    I haven't seen IGoogle, but if it is like everything else they put out, I'm guessing I'm going to love it!

    Todd,

    iGoogle is the best way I have found to have a fast round up full of information I need.

    You WILL love it.
