Delicious is tasty. At First I was not pleased to have this program download onto my computer and takeover my system. I felt invaded. I do think you should warn people about this occuring. Especially since some libraries have firewalls which could block it or perhaps people work on general staff computers where really should not be customized.
I am getting us to using Delicious and now must RSS block. There are some sites which are very helpful but most are junk. I wish there was a program which automatically blocked everything until you added it.

Google tools
I'm hesitant about google tools. My main concern is invasion of privacy. Becoming web social should not include me giving up my right to privacy. I think the main reason google or any company wishes to know this much about me is for marketing purposes. I seriously doubt that they are that interested in my personal web experience other than how can they use my habits to sell me more internet. I have mixed feelings about which google tools are useful. I think when is comes to research Google news would be helpful. I did find a link to WikiaSearch which I think is useful. Overall, I feel this Thing was a good selling tool for Google.

Home Page
today I customized my Yahoo HOmepage. I chose yahoo because I already have my other accounts set up thru them. I do find this service adequate for me and my needs. I will modify the contents as time allows. I think having a home page provides warmth or a sense of belonging to the network world when I sign in. This is what I am enjoying the most about the additional training. I feel like I am now actually using my computer and understanding it.
