I looked at all three start pages, and they seemed pretty similar. Each have weather, calendar, news, tv, movies, to do list, etc., and a person can customize their own start page. I picked My Yahoo, as I have Yahoo e-mail. I also signed in on PageFlakes, but then decided I did not like it. I can’t really describe why. How do I “unsign” from there?
Calendars, to-do lists, and the like are useful if a person has access to a computer at all times and if he/she has a lot of activities to track. I think those tools are better suited for business/work related activities for people with busy schedules full of meetings and deadlines. They would also be more useful to larger families where family members need to keep track of what everyone is doing at a particular time. I still like to carry my small paper calendar around so that I can easily and quickly check when I am working, when I need to be somewhere else and when my husband has special meetings or field trips.
Backpack appears to be an excellent tool for work-related activities, such as meetings, brainstorming groups, Balanced Scorecard and similar teams. For these kind of groups Backpack is helpful because schedules, ideas, memos, documents, etc. can be easily shared and updated among group members. I was really impressed with this as a very useful and in-depth business tool.
