Google Universe

I chose to investigate "Translate" under "Communicate, Show & Share". It was great
to be able to translate from English to any language listed and there were a lot of choices.
You could also add your favorite language to the browser's toolbar. Then whenever you
want to translate a webpage you're viewing you just click the button under "favorites".

What I disliked - not so much disliked- as there were too many sites to choose from. Many
sites you needed to sign up for and I am already into user name and password overflo!

I would definitely recommend Google Universe to friends - especially those who are more
tech savy than me. Lots of info to be had for those who are into this kind of thing.

Facebook

Facebook is useful for many people to connect but a time waster for me
as I don't even have time to turn on my computer at home let alone sit
in front of it. How about the telephone or is it becoming obsolete !!
If I have some free time I visit with friends or sit and enjoy a good book!

Delicious

I am not too comfortable using this site yet but it will come in time.I hope to use it more doing reference work and then I will get moreknowledgeable. Our old Best Web Sites was easier on the eye and Ifind this site very busy but I guess in time with a lot of usage thiswill become user friendly.

Wikipedia

I checked several articles looking for articles that needed editing re grammarspelling etc. but couldn't find any so I gave up trying . I did however practiceon an article on James Patterson which I thought needed a grammar change andediting it was easy! I tried to enter several topics which I thought might be obscurebut sure enough there were several articles already published on my chosensubjects.
