iGoogle

Today, I used iGoogle for the first time. I have seen people using it before but never realized what it was. Looking through all the themes was fun, I chose a pretty one but when I came back to the site, the theme had changed itself. My new theme is pretty as well but not the same... Oh well. I loaded my iGoogle with a bunch of gadgets like Facebook, the NYT and the world clock for New York and Alaska. I added a bunch more gadgets but was surprised that a lot of the gadgets I searched for were not available. It's easy to see all the important sites in one easy to view location. I will definitely continue to use this site after this class is over. To finish the assignment, I downloaded Jing onto my parents laptop, of course it would not work on the iPad. After numerous failed attempts to run Jing, I downloaded Google Chrome and then Awesome Screenshot. Awesome Screenshot is so easy to use. When downloaded, Awesome Screenshot adds a little camera at the top right hand corner of an Internet page. You just click on the camera and decide if you want the whole website or just the screen. I chose the whole screen. I am amazed at how simple it was, once downloaded.
