Thing #12

I love to Google. Who can get by now-a-days without google? I saw a picture on pinterest the other day.. It was a picture of a graduate giving her speech, and someone decided to add the caption ".. And thanks to google and wikipedia for helping me get here today." I thought it was hilarious because it is so accurate. Google has become this amazing tool that a lot of people take advantage of and most don't even realize what all Google has to offer. I was aware of some of these things before starting thing #12 but not all of them. I already used Google Alerts and iGoogle. I discovered those during thing #10 about the RSS feeds. I have it set up so iGoogle is my homepage once I open my GoogleChrome window for internet. Haha I just realized, it's all Google.. Anywho, I am able to read headings of the recent posts of blogs that I subscribed to through google reader. It's great! It's like having my own personal newspaper right at my finger tips. I can get news, sports, weather, entertainment, etc.. All on one page. And I was able to customize the page to my liking. Place links where I want them, pick the picture that goes behind the google search bar, pick a color scheme.. Google is a great tool for anyone, and will be even more awesome once I start teaching. It makes so many resources easy to find and it will only keep improving with time.
