Thing #12

Google: Not just for searching!

My favorite feature is iGoogle because the user can customize his or her Google homepage with a personal look and with personal preferences of tools that appear when you log in.  I already have gmail so my account is already established.  I customized by own page by adding a theme of a cute little frog and then selecting my personal interests of news, art, entertainment, and cooking.  All I had left to do was choose my own region and set my city....see for yourself:
Next, I explored Google alerts.  This aspect of Google is great because I can monitor only the developing news stories I am interested in.  This is great to keep up with entertainment and sports news, as well.  I played around with the alerts just to see what would happen.  I typed Paris Hilton in the search...did you know she is going to star in a new reality show?! Did you know Paris just settled on a lawsuit with Hallmark?  You would if you had Google Alerts!!!!  :)
