Too Many to choose from!

How can I choose just one thing that was a favorite! I've discovered igoogle and how useful that it as a work-tool. I've put so many great gadgets on my home page like a search of world cat, and a customized search of google/yahoo/ask. And the web 2.0 awards offered so much that was interesting & fun & useful.
I've discovered Flickr & Picassa - one I'm now using to share family photos. One I'm using to start publishing my genealogy research. I've a found a lot of pictures of ancestors. Now they're posted to share. Maybe others who share the same ancestors will contact me and we can share info!
The rss readers are great! I love them. And google's features. And tagging! Delicious has so many uses. And I like the fact that FURL will cache pages - so helpful in genealogy research where web sites can (and do) drop out of site after you've found them. So easy to lose information.
My sister manages the web site for her department. I've shown her what I've learned about wikis. She's interested and intrigued.
In fact, I've found this whole training so cool that I've shared the info with my best friends and family. Several of them are playing with it all too.
