http://www.google.com/ or http://m.www.yahoo.com/; which one is the better search engine? If you asked your friends, not everyone would pick the same one. I use google and yahoo for different things. When I first started using the internet, I decided to open a yahoomail account. I use my yahoomail account for personal emails that are not school related. I also enjoy using yahoo.com to look at the top local and world news.
The google page which is comparable to the yahoo page I started using due to a lot of my students using google. My students ask me to look at http://images.google.com/ a lot to find different images for their reports and posters. I have to admit that I never look at images on yahoo. Why, I really don't know, I guess because my students never ask me to use yahoo to search for pictures.
Several years ago, I was sent the link for http://earth.google.com/. It also happens to be an application that I downloaded free for my iPhone. I think that it is the coolest thing to look at. I went to San Francisco over Labor Day weekend and I was able to pull up exactly where I was at Pier 39. It was really cool! I have also pulled up my house and Poteet. Even though it was perfectly legal, I thought I was doing something that I shouldn't have been able to do.
Finding this out by accident, I was able to pull up Picasa Web Albums and saw seven of my photos that I had downloaded or uploaded and din't even realize it. I don't know why I had two copies of some of my pictures and only one of five other pictures. Even though I have learned a lot, there are a lot of things that are a mystery to me. I am pretty sure that when I finish this class, I will go back and investigate this site more.
