- Thing 1: Set up your Google ID
- Thing 2: Customise your iGoogle page. Add at least 5 gadgets
It’s week 3 of the 23 things programme and things are going swimmingly. We’ve got 112 participants at the last count which I think is amazing – that’s about 1/5 of the total workforce apparently. It’s not only the number of participants that is making the programme work, there’s also a buzz on the blogs of the participants and there really seems to be a community forming.
Well enough of that, as I said before it’s week 3 and I’m behind already, so on to some talk about the things. Week 1 eased us in gently with the creation of a Google account and setting up of an iGoogle start page. I have had a Google account for some time now and already use Gmail, Google Reader, Google Docs and iGoogle.
Below is a screenshot of my iGoogle page. I haven’t updated it in a while and I use it rarely. I find that the occasions that I do use it are when I’m using a different computer to usual. I don’t have much stuff on it but you can see from the image that I’ve grouped the content on to three tabs – News, Twitter and Work.
