Pam Howe

  • University email to Gmail.
  • Google Calendar
  • One mobile device that lets you do email, calendar, etc.
  • iGoogle
  • Presentation software
  • Google Reader
  • Google Pages
  • Google Groups
  • Mentioned that every day you go to Google and something is different. She says that’s something hard to adjust to with the static feeling of Microsoft.
  • Said she chooses Picasa over Flickr because of single sign-on.
  • Not sure about security.
  • Talked about schools that are transferring to Gmail systems.
  • Google’s privacy policy: audience member said to remember the context instead of line by line.
  • A great discussion of what type of information should and shouldn’t be in email/online in the first place (whether Gmail or campus hosted email). If you’re putting private information in the right place, you don’t have to worry about what service you use.
