Use iGoogle To Make Your Day More Productive

I have started using iGoogle over the past weeks and I am really amazed what you can do with it. This post is about how you could use iGoogle to better organize your day.

igoogle Use iGoogle To Make Your Day More ProductiveThe general purpose of iGoogle is to provide you with one or more pages to combine many gadgets as they call that can make your life easier.  Gadgets can either be RSS feeds, blogs and applications. Everything is customizable and really a pleasure to work with.

Here are my favourite gadgets for raising your productivity and for the better organisation of your day through iGoogle:

  • A simple but highly useful To-Do list: To-Do List
  • The best “Date and Time” gadget in my opinion: Date And Time
  • Important when going out and you are thinking about taking the umbrella. The Weather Gadget
  • A great and easy to use currency converter: Currency Converter
  • If you using Twitter then BeTwittered is indispensible: Twitter on iGoogle
  • For all the website owners this Adsense gadget is extremely useful: Adsense
  • For directions is the Google Map Search the ideal companion: Google Maps
  • Translation anyone: The Babelfish translation gadget: Translation Gadget
  • Facebook for iGoogle. Access your Facebook account through the interface: Facebook

And finally when you look at your iGoogle page and think that it is a mess then take a look at this gadget. The compound gadget is a great tool to organize your gadgets into tabs in a compound gadget to give you a cleaner and easier usage of the page.

This is rounds up our look at iGoogle today so let me know whether I missed any good gadgets. All gadgets can be found here: All iGoogle Gadgets

All the best,

  • Thanks for this useful post, Fabian.

    I started fiddling with iGoogle today - because my boyfriend loves it and has been telling me to try it for a while. We both use FriendFeed to aggregate our feeds across a number of sharing sites - and this can also be pulled into iGoogle to make life more manageable.

    I'm going to work through your list tomorrow and try your tips!
