Google Docs

Boy do I ever spend a lot of time exploring and then I feel guilty for not doing other things, like sleeping! It's 1:00 am and I've been looking at "Google Docs" for over 2 hours. You can sure get side tracked and it's why I don't let myself click on too many extras. I found a cool template to make your own calendar for 2009, but I'd like to take some current photos of my grandkids and get them uploaded on my computer so I can make a calendar. I also looked at a spreadsheet of a school calendar and typed in some entries. I tried to find it later, but was only able to locate older versions. I don't know what I did! My favorite is Google Reader as it's how I spend most of my time when I'm on the computer. I looked at Obama's reading list and got hung up on that! I can see how creating and sharing a document in Google docs would be useful in keeping and securing it in one place!

I do have guilt, actually, about how much time everything in this class takes, for precisely the reason you state - you start to look at something and suddenly it's 2 hours later and you're off on some tangent. It's fun, and I've definitely learned lots on this little bird walks, but the time it takes is tremendous.

I hope that the good that you've found outweighs the time loss!

Google Reader is another RSS reader just like pageflakes. If you like anything about google reader you can put it in pageflakes and vice versa.

Pageflakes, google reader, igoogle (and others) are all the same thing.
