That was awesome! I never knew that something similar to these expensive software were out there free for all to use. Now my work will be there where ever I'm at. I really liked Zoho because it looked a lot like Word and Excel and it had so much more to play with and they're all FREE.

The Google Labs lesson was fun. The people at Google are such ingenious people. I looked at a bunch of them and found some likes and dislikes.
Here are my likes.
Google Music Trends-It's a good place to seek out music to add to my play list.
Google Notebook-I'm always surfing and jotting down things. Well now I just need to select it and clip. It's so much easier. I'm going to enjoy this product.
Google Reader-This is like Bloglines with RSS feeds. I have to explore more and see which one I like better and go with that one.
Here are my dislikes.
Google Transit-I liked it a little bit because it had graphics but I compared it to Metro's site and it didn't give as precise directions as it did on Metro's site. But right on the Google transit site it does refer you to King County Metro's site.
Google Trends-Sorry this didn't excite me. I didn't understand the graph and there were no explanations.

I went with Web 2.0 Awards just because they had more on their list. I looked at, play with, and even signed up for some of these web services. I thought how cool it would be to publish something using Lulu.com, go over to Vflyer.com and creat a flyer to post all over the web, and open up an online store using Shopify.com to sell it. I never knew how easy it can be using these services out there. No wonder why there are all these weird and crazy things out there in the world and I was wondering to myself, why would someone ever publish something like that. That's how!

I also looked at 43things.com, it's just a list of things people want to do. I thought it would be interesting to see if everybody else wanted to do the same things I wanted to.

Backpackit.com was a nice service because it lets you create a to do check list and as you acomplish them you can check it off. Very cool!

Looking through Thinkfree.com I thought that the it might be easier to use and work with but I think I'll stick with Zoho.

I really liked picnik.com for editing pictures. There's alot of stuff you can do even with the beta version of the service.

There were way too many services to look and I got really tired but these were the ones that caught my eyes.
