I played around with Google News for a little while and I think that it could be very helpful if I was in seventh grade again and needed some awesome current events. It could also be very helpful if ever I wanted to read as much as possible about a current event, otherwise I do not see myself using it very often. I also played around with my Google calender that I had started, I organized it by dividing up the events into separate calendars, such as a personal one, one for school, etc.. I have tried a few of the other Google tools as well such as the document creator and such and have found them very useful.

I have had a google home page for a very long time and I adore it. I did notice while I was reading the articles comparing the different sites for home pages that what I like about igoogle is exactly what a lot of people didn't like about igoogle. It has a limited amount of capabilities, it won't play music and dance for me when I log in but thats okay with me. I like logging on to the internet, seeing my email a calendar and maybe a nice Einstein quote and then moving on. I feel that if I had a totally pimped out home page I would be in definite trouble considering how addicted I am to random crap on the internet in the first place.
I did play around with netvibes in order to try something new. What I liked about netvibes is that I was able to change my location. Because I am a huge nerd which most of you know I may or may not have changed my location to the UK because it then may or may not have made it easier to find applications dealing with English soccer. :-)

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh crap. I am now addicted to Twitter, absolutely fantastic. I definitely needed something else to distract me from living an actual life. I love the microblogging, I haven't really gotten into the posting so much but my stalker tendencies have definitely become more pronounced. I love following people, I have found quite a few interesting people to follow and it definitely keeps me entertained. I also found a couple of football clubs that have twitters and it keeps me updated on scores and transfer requests during the transfer window. Bloody fantastic.

I had not visited the Things Ning since the last round of Things. I think that it is a good idea to have a place for all the participants to get together and share ideas and get help from each other. That being said I really don't like the set up on Ning, I feel that the website itself is very disorganized and not that aesthetically pleasing.

Thing 25
To "enhance" the amazingness of my already incredible blog I added daily pictures of both Corbin Bleu (my heart be still) and a daily picture of footy (my heart actually be still). It was hard for me to find many widgets that seemed important, the all seemed rather useless to me, which would probably explain why I am now being stared down by Corbin Bleu every time I view my blog.
