Google Products


All of the google tools are really useful. There is google maps.  It allows you to get directions to where ever you are going.  You can also find out what kind of traffic is running through the area. There is different kind of ways you can view the map.  If you click and drag the little person to where ever you want, you will be able to see and look through real pictures of the road or town. There is also a satellite view where you can see the area from above. 
Another useful tool is google news.  It shows all of the latest top stories.  Or you can click on a category and see the news there too. Or see your news locally in your area. Next is google translate.  If you want to know how to say something in a different language, google translate is the best and it's easy to use.  All you have to do type something in the language of your knowledge, and choose what language you want it to be translated to. If you click on the button right where it says listen, it will say what you have made into the other language.  The last one I'm going to be talking about is google books. You can search up a book that you will be able to read all of it or some of it. There are also magazines in google books.  So you can search magazines and be able to read them too.  There are all sorts of topics of books to choose from. Google has so many tools and products to use.  So I would suggest to go and look through them all on Google!

iGoogle

iGoogle is a page that you can customize with anything of your choice. There are games like Tetris, Super Mario, Snake, Frogger, and many others. There is pretty much anything you can think of, that you can add. On mine I have games, news, date and time, quotes, and random facts.  You can make more than one page, and pick which one you want to use.  It's really nifty and easy to use.

Histats

Histats is a website that tracks all of the people that view your page.  It's really neat because it shows you where the people are that viewed your blog.  They could be on the other side of the country or on the other side of the world.  On my blog, I have a counter to show how many people view my blog daily, and how many have viewed my blog all together. You can also choose what type of counter you want to fit your preferences or fit to your blog.

Gadgets

I love the huge selection of gadgets on blogger.  There are thousands of gadgets to choose from.  There are games, quotes, clocks, and neat little virtual pets.  You can also search a  specific one that you are looking for by typing it in the search box.  The gadgets are a really fun part about blogger, I would suggest checking them out, choose wisely!
