Thing 7-Google

I am fairly familiar with Google, but they are always coming up with new things. I currently use Picasa and share web albums with family and friends. This is a web album I created to show some fellow students in a library science class the town I live in, to see the commentary about each picture click on the sillouette with the conversation bubble in the lower left corner:


I love Google earth, I have used the calendar, use Blogger; I have not utilized Google docs. I saw a very cool demonstration at a recent workshop using Google docs as a collaborative tool; which totally saves time with the fellow collaborators being able to access the shared document for editting purposes. Google is one of the websites that it is well-worth one's time to check in on now and then just to see what is new. It is full of time-saving tools for organizing one's life and publishing media.

I just love your slide show. It has motivated me to go back and try it myself!
