Thing #12

     I didn't realize you could do so many things with Google! They can send you e-mail updates about topics that are important to you. You can create a calendar with Google. I created a customizable home page with Google. When I was creating it, I was asked about things that were important to me, such as music and sports. I said that I was interested in music, comedy, art, and games. When my home page was created, there were all sorts of links and information about the areas I'm interested in! There were links for games, comic strips, information about concerts in my area, and even an artist of the day. There is also a news feed that could be useful for keeping up with current events.
     Another tool Google has is a translator. You can use the translator to translate from one language to another. There are over 50 languages you can choose from! You can also listen to a voice saying the translation. This could be very useful for learning how to talk in a different language.

  2. I am starting to think there is nothing that Google can't do! I really never spent much time on Google prior to this assignment. I have been a Yahoo girl but I think that Google may have won me over. I am still amazed :)
