Del.icio.us

I have looked at del.icio.us on the web & for recipes & dogs. One dog site was for cute photos of puppies.
I think this site would be useful for personal use but I can't see any benefits for my work.

iGoogle

I looked at iGoogle and liked it. I think it would be useful in your personal life as you could add the bookmarks of your favorite sites for quicker access to the information that you want. I added the weather & world times to my site.

Google Book Search


I have just looked at Google Book Search & I think that it is a useful tool. I searched for the suggested title 'Google: the missing manual' so that I could see what the result found & how it was set out. I also checked a couple of other titles for comparison & found that some titles had no preview information available. I am currently reading the attached image of a Bill Bryson book.

Google Docs

I have had a look at Google Docs and I can see that it could be useful but I don't think I will be using it for work purposes.

Google Maps

I liked Google Maps. I looked up where I live now & could see my abode & also what my neighbours have in their backyards - quite a few with swimming pools. I also went to world maps in Google & looked up the street I was born in in England.
I also looked up some of my friends and families address's and got directions from Google Maps as to how to get there. I liked the fact that they gave the distance and time taken to get there. I checked 2 ways to get to an address in Frankston (one on the highway & one not), and the way I go is the quickest but it is also the longest way. I think I'll stick with the highway unless there are hold ups with the traffic. I will use Google Maps again as it is a very useful tool.

MySpace

It's a new year & I have decided to try to catch up with '23 things'. I have looked at MySpace & I'm not impressed with it. It seems to be a bit like a dating site! However I did like the music blogs but I can't see myself using MySpace in the future.
