The benefits of a Google account are not to be overlooked. It is effectively your gateway to the Internet. You create one simple account and receive over a dozen tools. Google offers mail (gmail), a personalized homepage, online text editor and storage, online spreadsheet editor and storage, simple website creation (googlepages), blogging (as you can see here), advertising solutions, an excellent feed reader, search history, bookmarks, personalized search, online file storage (via gspace), and more...
It is important to note that while Google often does not have the best of these tools (for example, its personalized homepage is considerably weaker than its competitors'), the integration makes it still well worth it. This list will continue to grow (google plans to release an online slideshow creation tool). Google's control of web search suggests a limitless expanse of tools. They do, after all, have the entire Internet as a resource.
So what are you waiting for, go here to get your free Google account now. Many of the later Internet "comfort configurations" will require a Google account.
If you are looking for some immediate things to do with your Google account you can read this article. It has some interesting approaches, but in the next few posts, I'll do things a slightly different way.
