Google Power User

For task number five I used Google Similar Images. I never knew that Google offered so many of these options for searching. But back to the task I chose. I find it amazing that just by typing in one title there could be so many similar pictures if not the same just from a different angle. I used Cats as an example and was shown the cutest little kitten in the world doing different things, but always the same kitten not all different ones. I am so glad to now have the knowledge and know how that this type of searching is available through Google.

Google reader/RSS feeds

I found the Rss feeds/google reader to be extremely helpful and fun. I looked up people.com and it instantly brought up all the top headlines and in order from newest to oldest. Adding subscriptions is easy as well, and will be beneficial in the future to "bookmark" my favorite sites so that I can easily check out the happenings and events of the day with one simple click.

Web 2.0 Awards

I found using the site Last.fm to be very useful and fun. It allows you to look up artists, shows you albums they have released and even recommends similar artists you may like. I love that feature because I am always looking for some new bands to discover.

I also found Yelp to be very helpful. Whether looking for food, shopping, just about anything this site helps you find a great place to go and gives you many options. Very informative. Glad I came across these sites. :-)
