Gmail, Calendar and iGoogle

I've used gmail for a good while now....but as with other programs, I've never really checked out the details. Once I figured out how to send emails, I was good to go. So, there were several tutorials that were helpful. I have never applied filters to my emails before, so that was a nice feature to help keep things organized. I also never knew about the advanced search options to help find emails (since I have hundreds which have never been deleted!). I always just did a simple search and had to scroll through to find what I was looking for....but with the advanced search, finding things is quite simple. Another feature that I would never look at is the Activity on your Account feature. I actually received and email from Google several months ago stating that there was suspicious activity on my account....someone in China had accessed my account! So I had to change my password. At any rate.....knowing that I can check the activity on my account by myself was nice to learn.

Google Calendar......Ah, it looks so nice. If I would just get organized enough to actually use it!! I have a desk calendar that I write everything in for work - I know I would love the organization of having it on Google Calendar, if I would just take the time to type it in. Sharing your calendar with others is pretty sweet too. And the feature of having events on the calendar sync with your phone is really nice. And I had no idea I could text and event to Google Calendar from my phone. Cool. Hopefully, I'll get organized and actually use it!

iGoogle, uGoogle, weallGoogle!! I never really knew what iGoogle was all about (of course), but I like it. I added some different things to my iGoogle (which I never even knew I had)...things like quotes of the day, Google Docs and Bible verses of the day. I'm sure there's so much more I could explore, but I'm feeling tired.... :)
