Most of us know that Google can do hundreds of really neat things thought the many applications integrated into the Google website. Recently, though, I have discovered 2 Google features I had never heard of and plan to make good use of for the benefit of this blog.
is a Google feature that allows you to receive notification from Google when they discover new content on the internet that meets your set criteria. Want to know when someone writes a new article about the Wizard of Oz? No, you probably don't. But if you did, you could set up an alert for it, and Google would let you know any time it came across new websites or webpages with Wizard of Oz subject matter. Better yet, you could set Google to let you know any time it comes across your name online....but beware of that if your name is John Brown or any other common name!
(the magazine) have partnered and Google now hosts the entire photo archive of LIFE, including hundreds (thousands?) of photos that were never published in the magazine. These photos are available to everyone through Google for personal use....you know, like blogs!
Go check out these really awesome features!
