Assignment April 19

2) Try out one of the Google programs or services, and write a brief blog post reviewing it.

3) In your blog, comment on the following:


• What do you like about the Google product? What do you dislike? Would you recommend the product to friends and colleagues?

I really enjoy using Google maps. I personally use it often to find the quickest route to drive somewhere. I also like to see the satellite view of places, especially if they are outside of the city. I teach Cyberseniors and they have fun looking at the different features. They enjoy the street view and the satellite view of their residential area. I definitely recommend Google maps. The seniors that I teach however have some difficulty with the format of addresses and how to find what they want if it doesn't come up immediately.

I am just staring to investigate Google Chrome. It certainly seems faster, but it also seems to have features that are not in Google. For example in blogspot I don't remember being able to change the font or do a spellcheck in Google.
