Google

pronounced "gYOOGle".

if you don't have a google account, find someone who does and get an invite. they're cranking out the best web services available and it costs nothing to use. one such service prompted me to make this post:

i was on my personalized start page which has different widgets like weather, news, etc. mine consisted of a couple news outlets, weather for several US cities and The Onion headlines. they have it now where you can add multiple tabs within the page, so i added a new tab and named it "News". my plan was to go in and add a bunch of news widgets, right? when i clicked in the newly created tab, it was already full of all things news. cable news headlines, newspapers, AP, etc. so i created one called "Sports"...same thing. then i did "Entertainment"...same thing. it's quit a time saver. check it out. this article, of which i have read 1/2 of the 1st sentence, says it much better than i.

i won't go into all the other neat things you can do while on google, like gmail, analytics, calendar, shared documents, etc, etc. i think for $50 a year you can have a business account which ups your mail storage, removes ads and a few other features.

i'm out.
