I chose iGoogle for my "start page" because I have all of my internet things through Google. I was really surprised to see my gmail messages in one of the blocks. I think it can be a really useful tool for me to use as a homepage. I have Clarksville weather, email, and YouTube all in one!
For the online calendar, I used Google Calendar (of course...to go along with all my other Google goodies). An online calendar can be extremely useful, if not necessary in todays times. The ability to access your whole calendar for months and months at the stroke of a few keys can sometimes be a true lifesaver. I use my online calendar at work all the time to keep myself on track. There are just too many things that go on in life to try and keep them all in your head.
I would recommend the TinyURL application. It really seems like it could be useful. I am not sure what the implications would be of using an altered URL for something like a reference page in a PowerPoint presentation, but if there were no issues in terms of citation requirements, it would be an eye saver and a space saver!
