It's Mail Time!

Keep in touch and stay on schedule...that's what Google Calendar and Gmail are all about.  Google has made it so easy to keep up with your email and calendar.  No more leaving your day planner on top of the car.  With Google, your calendar can be with you no matter where you are.  I've been using it for some time and love the portability.  Literally, I can access it everywhere.  I have it on my phone.  I have it on my laptop.  I can access it at school.  Anything you could want a digital calendar to do this thing does.  Recurring events...done.  Notifications...done.  Color coding...done.  To-do lists...done.  Not that you need to or would even want to, but you can even have Google Calendar sync up with offline type calendars.

Gmail is just as handy as Calendar.  I can't get away from my email anymore.  I have all my other accounts forwarded to my Gmail account.  That means I have a lot of emails coming through my account, but no worries.  With the impressive search feature, I can find just what I need.  The stars also help find the important stuff.  Of course, I'm always a little "weirded out" when the ads on the page relate to the information in my email, but...oh well...it's the times we live it and I guess Google has to make money somewhere.

While I've used Gmail and Calendar for a while, I had never seen iGoogle.  The many gadgets make this a nice portal page.  And, guess what!  There's my Gmail and Calendar, again!  The weather and news gadgets are staples on my home page.  I never turn on the television for this kind of information any more.  I like the clean layout of the Classic template.

Google has some homeruns in the Calendar, Gmail and iGoogle.
