Thing # 21
Google is so much more broad than I ever imagined! I had fun exploring/discovering during this exercise. In fact, I spend too much time on google book search because on that site, I could actually read the text of books that I've wondered about or wanted to read. I think it's great to be able to check it out before buying. I also looked at google alerts but didn't think of anything to follow or be alerted to at this time. I would use it for sure if there's something of particular interest I want to follow. Google earth is cool..... kind of scary to know anyone can check out any place at any time. I found my house! Even my blog is generated through google.... amazing, the possibilities seem endless :-)

You're right - the Google Alerts aren't much use unless there is particular topic that you are very interested in. One thing you might do it try setting up a Google Alert for your name. It's interesting to see where your name sometimes pops up on the web.
