I LOVE Google

Did I ever tell you that I absolutely LOVE Google? How many times do you hear someone say, "Just google it."


It's literally the best search engine alive and it shows since its so well known to everyone.


Not only do I love Google, but there are also a few other products I like as well, but I won't bore you all with all of them....I'll just stick to my favorite one.


GOOGLE EARTH
I never knew what Google Earth was until a few years ago when I had to use it for my other job. It was literally the coolest thing ever (I'm glad its becoming more well known). I built my house a few years ago and I was able to check on the progress of it without having to drive all they way down there. How cool is that?!?!?! I never imagined that someone could ever possibly capture the world like that. You can zoom and look up detailed streets and see if there was a car parked outside your house when they took the picture. Its awesome! A great way to pass your time - way better than the horrid world of Facebook. Yikes!


The only drawback that I can think of is that its not 100% current, but how could we possible expect it to be 100% current? The Earth is so big and I'm absolutely amazed at everything they have done so far. And of course their is always the entire FOIP issue (us Librarians know all about FOIP - go ahead, quiz us, LOL) regarding privacy, yadda, yadda, yadda.


I am constantly recommending quite a few of the Google products to those I know - Picasa is my second favorite.


I'm definitely not an information hoarder by any means.
