IGoogle

Why not start your own IGoogle. If you have a gmail account it is that much easier. You should use your gmail account strictly for educational purposes. (select another free account for online ordering and social networking) Use your gmail account to correspond to teachers, sign up for educational blogs, communicate with colleges, (this is especially handy for the college application process, by establishing a gmail account for education early, the colleges will be more familiar with you when the time comes for you to apply)

When creating your account keep in mind its purposes. Your account name should sound professional. Mine is PMurphy0117@gmail.com. Avoid names like badboy@gmail.com, or imthesnizzle@gmail.com. Save those names for your other account. Try to use your whole name in your educational (professional) account. As any good marketing rep will tell you name recognition gives you a definite advantage when applying for colleges.
