Delicious

I'm still playing with this one. I can see the advantages of having all of your favourites sitting in one place instead of having some listed at home, some at work and in some cases on 2-3 PC's at work if you happen to be working on another PC. I think I'm a bit deterred about the amount of work involved in setting it up initially with the tags.

iGoogle

You could spend hours on this just adding all of those snipets of the web you want to have a quick look at. Deciding on my background theme was probably the most difficult part of this excercise.
Would I like to work for Google - who wouldn't. All I could think of after I watched the youtube video was - free food!!

Google book

This is great if you need a sneak peek at a book before you buy - as long as it has a preview. It is handy that it provides you with a link to major booksellers, so you can buy it straight away if you want.
Is Google the new Microsoft - quite possibly and it's something that's freely available to anyone in the world, which is an added bonus

Google Docs

I was quite impressed with this tool. It would be very handy to use if you moved around a lot and you needed access to the same documents. Also if you worked from home. You wouldn't have worry about loosing your USB drive. As long as you had access to the internet, it's like having your own 'My documents' anywhere at anytime. I also thought it was useful that you could save files as PDF's

Google maps - again

Well, I had to see if I could get this to work and I did. I managed to embed a Google map image into my blog. It took a couple of tries. The map below shows you where I work. I found my home and zoomed in on it using the satelite image - got fairly close before it couldn't zoom in any more.
I find this tool very useful, especially if I need to get around the city and I need to find a place I'm supposed to go to

Google maps

Lets see if this works:
