Google

Google is a great search engine and provides a spelling aid for us. I love Google maps because it provides us with directions when we need to know how to get to a specific location. This is good when we are in unknown territory, but the directions provided are not necessarily the most direct or up to date. I have recommended google maps to several people.
A friend recommended vpike.com which uses google maps/earth and shows the street view of houses and businesses. It maybe similar to google earth, but I like it because it gives me the opportunity to view places in far off locations. I do family history research and it is neat to see where my ancestors once lived. It does not always zoom into the absolute correct address, but at least it gives me an idea of what the houses on the street look like.
I tried to access Google Earth, but it is not available on CPL's computers and I was not allowed to download Google Earth so I was unable to view it.
I checked Google docs, specifically Template Gallery which contains thousands of templates including: research paper, resumes, service invoices, personal monthly planner to name a few. This is a great resource for people who do not have "Microsoft Office" on their computer.
In addition, one of the labs that is currently listed is "Aardvark" where we will be able to "Ask a question and I'll find someone to answer." This site has the potential to be very helpful.
