everything google...and something else, too!

this is my discovery exercise findings. um...i checked out google docs and zoho. i made a spreadsheet on google docs that just said "snape is good. snape is not evil." let's face it, this cheeky monkey is running out of imagination (but by the way, snape is good, which we all will find out in july- this is not because i have gotten a sneak peak of the new book, it's just my personal feelings and hopes). i tried to find the area about rss feeds but apparently that isn't available in the spreadsheet option. and i didn't do a document. *sniffles*

onto zoho...pretty much the same thing, and pretty much something i won't be using again. but hey! now i know what it is. i'm way cooler than i was 2 months ago. (which isn't much, because i've always pretty much been awesome)

2nd part, i used google labs and checked out google trends (did you know that the language that most looked up the word library was "irish"? i wasn't aware they spoke irish in ireland- i thought it was gaelic!), then i looked thru google reader, which was cool too but basically a copy of bloglines. the only thing different was you don't have to re- type in a search item each time you subscribe to one- you can subscribe, go to the next one, subscribe...etc. the last part was google video. and i found this cute penguin video. awwww...it won't post correctly. guess i will have to work on that later. update- the poor little penguins will have to go on a walk without us, the video just won't work. so i pulled a video up on google video, but when i found the one below, it actually came from YouTube (which i believe i will be looking at later as well)

dang! this weeks lesson was long. seems like it took me forever to get thru it all-i looked at the web 2.0 awards for 2007 and found this great site called Yelp- at first when i just clicked on seattle, it of course pulled up all things in only seattle. but on further browsing, i found i could just pull up bothell, and the surrounding areas. this is definitely going to be a keeper in my bookmarks. i was hoping to add it to my bloglines account, but i've not found a link to do so. but this week was definitely fun! i am planning to use these again. google google google! whatever would we do without you?
