Google Alerts: I really liked this section: "Google search basics: More search help." I never knew you could get so specific with the search paremeters as these help you to. excluding a certain search result by simply adding "-" sign in will be very helpful. I also liked this way best to search for news feeds. And I like that what I find I can have it sent to my "feed" instead of my email!
Google Calendar seems great, but my life isn't busy enough at this point to need. But I'm sure I could use it later on. When I am a teacher and will have mots of things to schedule, I can imagine this will be very helpful!!! Also the class could use it for a class calendar, for upcoming projects, days til school vacation, and other calendar updates.
Google Notebook seemed really cool! I always want to copy and paste something somewhere! Sometimes I open up a word document just for that purpose alone. But apparently it is no longer in use, and new users can not join!!!!!!!! I was pretty excited to use it, but I guess I won't be able to... But I will try to see what I can use of it! Im sure I'll be needing to copy and paste something that I want to save real soon!!! Ok, Ive tried it with a recipe, and it seems to be working perfectly fine!!! The notice about it no longer being in action only came up when I tried to download the extra search add-on, so perhaps Ill just keep using it without trying that again. But if all else fails I will have to export to Google Docs and use that instead. So far I like the set up and its potential!!! I like that you can add sections to separate each new paste-age and that you can create notebooks for different topics. I really like it!!!! This could be great to use with the class while doing research to illustrate how extensive research is done or when certain found tidbits of information need to be kept in mind.
iGoogle Home Page: I already had an iGoogle home page. But I have just added some new "stuff" to it. There are an endless number of gadgets!!!
I really like that all of the google stuff recognizes my password across the board and that I stay signed in from app to app!!! Google is insanely huge! Even my phone is Google-run!
