Gmail, Google Calendar, IGoogle

Gmail
Even though I have had a gmail account for several years I had never looked into all the features that it offers.  I find out that I can actually upload photos and have them there.  Circles is another feature that I looked into and I can create a circle of friends or of family members if I want to have a circle.  There is another feature called Stream and one can actually see what people post and comments made by other persons.

Calendar

I really liked the use of the calendar, a person can share schedule with other people.  The calendar can be viewed on the go on the phone, it  also gives reminders to stay in schedule.  another feature that I liked of the calendar is that one can sign with desktop applications and access calendar however and whenever you want.   I can access other calendars, like my friends's calendar if needed.  It keeps an agenda for met and shows events of the day, week, month or 4 days.  I can work offline if I need to and is the best part is that all this is free.  I believe I am going to star using this asset, which will be of great help.

IGoogle

In IGoogle I can access my gmail if I need to.  It has many gadgets like weather reports, date and the.  I can also access the News top stories.  It also Today's spotlight videos on You Tube,  even though I do not access You Tube very often I believe is a good asset to have it.  I really liked that the theme can be change to a different one.  A person can also translate, have Facebook for IGoogle and what I like the most is that one can add Doppler radar and severe weather alerts.
