Emily Format toured me through her iGoogle page a couple of weeks back and it struck me as a useful tool for the family. There's a shared calendar, a "to do" list, news feeds, weather and more. We can post documents on GoogleDocs, too. A drawback is that since Google has become a bit of an empire, I have three or so passwords Blogger -iGoogle -Gmail know me by. When I paused in this writing to check the iGoogle page, I needed to sign out of Blogger. Not convenient.
Like any web tool, it will only be useful for keeping the family on the same page if everyone opens it daily and looks at it. When I told her about my experiment, an experienced parent said to me, "Let me know that works out for ya. . . "
GoogleDocs would be useful in a setting where something like the z: drive did not exist; it, too would be a way to have my work available at any desk.
