Blogger is very easy to use, customizing and personalizing the blog by using different gadgets and themes that reflect your taste. 

Gmail: at the beginning I just create Gmail account to able for Google tools but after I found it’s amazing features I have switch total from Hotmail to Gmail. Using filters and labels option in Gmail help me to organize my emails. Also Gmail provide me task list option which I need to fulfill and once I complete any of them I can show that by putting a tick. Without Gmail Account I cannot enjoy using others tools provided by Google.

Google Docs:  is beneficial tool provided by Google, It allows you to create, edit, store and share documents online such as word documents, presentations, spreadsheets and forms. Moreover, with Google Docs, you can allow others to make changes in your documents that you shared with them. I and my group members use Google Docs to works on the project at home. The chat feature in Google Docs is very useful since it allows us as a group to discuss the different characteristics of the projects in a quicker way. Also I think Google Docs is safe place for storing my documents. Therefore, I save all my project documents in Google Docs so if I have any problem with my laptop, I don't lose my work.

Google Maps: is great tool which allows me to find the locations of the places in very easy way. In addition, it also shows me the public transportation time and ticket prices and I can get direction from and to the place that I want with timing and it gives my suggested roads with timing to reach their. The most things that I like it in Google Maps is viewing the traffic roads so I can avoids these roads to reach quickly to the place that I want to visit.

And now I am expert in creating Google sites and adding pages. Moreover, I can specify and choose people who I want to share my site with.  After I graduate I will create my own business and I will use Google site to promote my products.

Social bookmarking (Delicious)

Delicious is useful tool that enables me to manage and organize my bookmarks with tags and I can save and access my bookmarks from any computer. The most things I like it in Delicious is that I can share my links with others. I think Delicious is beneficial tool which help me a lot since I can share useful links and resources online with my group members rather than sending them by email.
