well first of all, i love it that someone has already done the work of filtering out the best of the 2.0 websites. just when one is ready to sink into the mire of useless info, someone reaches out to bring the cream to the top!
that said, i spotted iGoogle on seamoz's list of web 2.0 award winners. boy do i agree with that one. i just love my new iGoogle home page. not only do i have easy access to google - which is my favorite search engine, but i also have everything else at a glance i want to see...latest posts from blogs i like, rss from news sites, inspirational photos, local weather and movie listings and so much more. i even have an abbreviated version of my gmail inbox. i would have liked to put a similar widget for my ATT worldnet mail, but it seems the security isn't that great for the pop3 widget.
anyway, i think library staff could benefit greatly if each would create their custom iGoogle page. of course, there's the part about ComIT erasing the default home page from time to time, but that's easily reset.
one award winner i learned about thanks to seamoz is ColorBlender - a great tool for web development. it's got great slider bars for RGB and you can create virtually any color you'd need on your page - and then gives you the html equivalent to use. wunderbar!

I agree - I love iGoogle and use it all the time! I like that gmail (and ComIT) will allow a "preview" of the mail but won't open the program - at least I can check - especially if I'm waiting for an email from someone!!
