More of the 23 Things

I managed to create a Facebook account tonight. I found members of my high school graduating class on Facebook, as well as a couple of people I went to college with. I'll do some more investigating, but really, I'm just not that social!

I also spent several hours investigating Google, more because I had to teach the class Google More than a Search Engine than because of the 23 Things. One really cool thing I found on Google is Google Documents. I have been having trouble with File Redirection because, if I use it when I'm "on the desk" it screws up the receipt printer. I've also had it screw up Horizon. Thus, I am more than a little leery of File Redirection. But with Google Documents, Word style documents are easily (sort of) worked on from anywhere. I say "sort of" because I don't see any way of keeping my formatting. The spread sheet portion of Google Documents is useless as far as I can see. It is not as powerful as Excel and I could not make it do what I needed it to.

What I would like is to have all my accounts in one place. And I mean more than just having one place from which I can access my various accounts. I mean, I like gmail for email better than I like yahoo! email. But the yahoo! calendar is much nicer than the gmail calendar. Why can't I choose the best parts of these things and put them all together in a customized Laura account?
