I've effectively handed over my life to Google. Aside from GMail (of course!), I find the combination of Remember the Milk and Google Calendar particular effective -- they became integratable not too long ago, really -- and at this point I put in most of my day-to-day to-do's straight into RTM-within-Calendar, but I still visit RTM for the more long-term-y stuff (there's still slightly more control there). Anyway, if you're already using Google Calendar, RTM seems to be a no-brainer now. (That said, I'm also a sucker for a slick interface. So, remind me why I still use a PC?). I've also found Google Docs/Spreadsheets to be amazingly useful -- I don't keep all my documents there, of course, but it's a great way to write a long-ish note to myself and have it accessable from anywhere, or to keep track of relatively simple documents, like my gradebook.
I'm a big fan of Google Reader. I didn't get into RSS feeds until relatively recently, and only then because Google's was the first interface that made sense to me. I like being able to tag my feeds and star interesting entries. I also find that I can sort through hundreds of items quickly, through use of the tags and judicious use of keyboard shortcuts... [tangentially: how did you get your LJ friends page as a feed?]
I've recently stopped using del.icio.us in favor of clipmarks. It's not a particularly lightweight solution, I grant, but (again) the interface is slick, and it's a good way of keeping track of bits of information. I'm not sure about you, but I find that the stuff I want to come back to isn't necessarily a whole website, but rather a paragraph or a picture. Needless to say, clipmarks is perfect for this (and somewhat better that Google's solution, sadly avoiding the sweep)
