YouTube

I generally go onto YouTube for purely entertainment reasons, however I have found it useful. I watched one video that showed me how to knit. I learned how to fix a few household items online and I was able to watch a few old tv programs that weren't otherwise available.

RSS

I was able to set up a feed for cbc.ca, but as it is already my home page It won't be so useful. I wasn't able to set up a feed for cbc.ca/calagary by following the instructions. It would not work. I tried to set up a feed from National Geographic as was suggested when I first signed on, but the last update was March 17, 2009. Not so useful again.

Google

I usually use google for searching needs. I often will use googlemaps. I much prefer to have a map in hand rather than waiting for my GPS to find a satalite. This week I decided to try something new. I set up Google calander. What I like about the calander is that I can share it with the kids. They will be able to sign on from their friends to see if they are busy on a given day. Yes I would recommend it to my mom as it appears to be very easy to use.
