GOOGLE: NEW TOOLS, FEATURES, BUSINESS

Many of you are probably familiar with classic Google products such as Google Web and Google Images. You probably also know of Google Earth, Maps, and Video. Google continues to produce new products all the time and has an assortment of tools that may be useful to you. First off, check out Google Profile. Google Profile is like any profile you might have for Facebook, Youtube, or Yahoo. Profile allows you to control what people see when they google your name. This tool can be extremely important if you are looking for a job, internship, or applying to/for a college or scholarship. Recruiters, employers, and admissions officers more than likely will google the names of its applicants. If your name is Dan White, for example, you might not want people to find that the first hit on Google is a Wikipedia entry about Daniel James White, the man who assassinated Harvey Milk. Though it's probably obvious that a criminal of that degree would probably not be on the streets again looking for a job, you still may have a negative association with your name. Differentiate yourself by using a middle initial, middle name, maiden name or nickname. Another cool new Google product is Google Voice. Google Voice is essentially a phone service on the Internet. You can call, text, and receive voicemail on your computer. Google Voice is currently invite-only but you can request an invite here. Other cool Google products to check out are Picasa, SketchUp and Orkut. Go to google and see what they have to offer, most products are free and easy to sign up for.



Joke of the Day- Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?". The operator says "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says "OK, now what?"
