Thing 29! Google Tools

After a spring break trip to Washington, DC, and trying to "catch up" at work, I am back to the "Things". Google Tools are fun to explore. I added two Google Alerts, so will enjoy keeping up with them. Now I have used a Google Calendar, and hope to expand on that use. I also made some changes to my Google home page and read the articles associated with Thing 29.

The Goog 411 is a good feature, and I plan to add 1-800-GOOG-411 to my cell phone. I also enjoyed using the Google Maps.

In Google News, I enjoyed the latest news from the Newseum in Washington where we spent a whole day during spring break. In archives, it was fun to find an article from 1913 about Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, a British militant suffragette, who was not allowed to land on the pier at Ellis Island. I explored the Google Health option, and think that would be a useful addition. One could spend lots of time exploring the Google Tools! (Thanks to busiguy6 for the Tools photo on Flickr).

Thing Eight - Washington DC PictureTrail

Thing Eight!

8. Share Your Creations.

The photo sites are so much fun! I can really spend LOTS of time using them. It took me awhile to decide what to post for this THING, so I waited till near the end. Now you can find my Picture Trail Photo Carousel of photos from Washington, DC near the book titles from Library Thing on this blog. Before I made it to Thing Eight, I enjoyed seeing the projects that others had posted on their blogs. I have had fun doing more "photo flicks." I plan to continue using Picture Trail and other applications from Thing Eight. I like being creative with photos from an event or a trip. After a project has been completed, the editing process is easy for making changes. I posted the PictureTrail project on Facebook.
