Google Toolbar

The tool Google Toolbar is very useful, you can search up in the toolbar instead of having to leave the website that you are on.  You can also view your email, search news stories, and even look at your web history.  You can share Google Toolbar to your friends using popular websites such as Facebook, GMail, Hotmail, and even Blogger.  To install your own Google Toolbar, click here

Firefox Personas

The Firefox Personas are very cool because you can pick a picture out and put it onto the background of your Firefox browser.  It has many features like, cars, Nike, DC Shoes, Military and many, many more!! This Web site can get you hooked very fast because it's endless of how much stuff is on there.

Bebo

Bebo is a new social bookmarking Web site, but it's not very popular.  It is just another Facebook and MySpace.  But it is also another way to meet friends that you may not talk to anymore.  So I think everyone should give it a shot and see how they like it.  If they don't like it, then stick to Facebook!!

Delicious

Delicious is a cool Web site to use to keep your bookmarks on one page.  And if something happens to your computer (crashes, viruses, etc.) you can just go to your Delicious account, log in and everything will still be there!  You can go to any computer and log onto Delicious, instead of having all your bookmarks on your own computer.  This Web site is very cool!

iGoogle

The iGoogle page is very cool! You can customize your own google page, and even add some cool gadgets!! Some of the gadgets I added were the yo momma joke of the day, and the birthday countdown.  The iGoogle homepage has hundreds of backgrounds to choose from, which is pretty cool.  You could be stuck on iGoogle for hours because it's so much fun!

Histats

Histats is a very cool website because you can go onto it and pick out a counter, which is a gadget that tracks your visitors.  You can add this gadget to your blog, I added mine to the bottom of my blog page.  So every time I get on and scroll down, I can click on the counter and it will take me to the histats website.  Then from there, you can see where the people that visited your blog are from.

Blogger Gadgets

Yesterday we looked around at some of the Blogger Gadgets that you could use for your blog.  Some of them were very cool and useful, such as the birthday countdown, which counts down how many days, hours, minutes, and seconds until your birthday.  There are also ones that are just for fun, such as the fish one where you can pick up to 10 fish and change their colors and the color of their food.  And your friends or family could get on Blogger and go onto your blog and feed your fish!! Almost all of these gadgets are very cool to use!!!

Stats

Our class added a new gadget called stats.  This is very cool because you can see who and when people looked at your blog that day, that month, and how many looked at it of all time.  It is very detailed and you can see what internet browser they used.  Such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome and more.  You can see the name of who visited your blog and even the country from where they viewed it.  I even had 1 person from the Netherlands that viewed my blog! I thought that is pretty cool.

Word Cloud

Word Cloud is a very fun tool to create that you can use to make different collages in different shapes, colors, forms, etc.  You can use this website just for personal things, or you can use them for education/fun things as well.  You will be hooked on this website once you get on.
