I chose Yahoo as my start page because I already had a MyYahoo start page set up. However, it had been a while since I had edited and I found there were many more "apps" I could add to it. So, I played around with it for a while, adding my favorite team's baseball schedule, added cities for the weather forecast, adjusted my t.v. listings to Eastern time, etc. I also read a few of the news articles. I guess I didn't have to do too much work on this one since I had done this a while ago. As I said before, it had been a while since I had used my start page. I don't use it much and had forgotten all of the stuff that was there. I guess I could have used it many times to look for game times, news, and t.v. listings. Bummer! Well, hopefully I'll use it more now!
I didn't try any of the online calendars or sticky notes because our email program at work, Microsoft Outlook, does most of that for me. I move around to different libraries and rely heavily on my calendar and tasks to remind me where I'm supposed to be and what I'm supposed to be doing! I also have a paper calendar and a calendar on my phone that I try to keep up-to-date in case our email system goes down. So, I don't really need ANOTHER calendar.
I have used Basecamp in the past, though. A committee that I am on used it last year to plan a library event. It worked great for us. We were able to assign tasks (to-do's), post comments, share files, and keep up-to-date about what we had completed and what we still needed to do. It was a great tool!
