I originally wrote this article back in 2007, but I’m updating it for 2014 because a lot has changed in seven years. Firstly, Picasa Web Albums no longer exist. Since the release of Google+, all photo storage takes place in Google+ Photos. You can, however, still use Picasa on both a Mac and PC to […]
Even though I use Google for all of my online searching, it’s still not anywhere near being perfect. They change their algorithms pretty much everyday and each change isn’t always for the better. Add on top of that all the personalization and geo-specific search results and you get a different set of results even if […]
If you’re a Gmail user, you may have noticed a new money sign icon at the bottom of the compose window when writing a new email. Hovering over the icon, you see that you can “attach money” to the email! Sounds pretty cool right? So how does it actually work? Is it really free and […]

The one problem with this situation is that if you don’t log off your Gmail or Google account, then the next person that comes around can access your entire Google life! So […]
I recently discovered something cool about Google Maps that I didn’t know existed. A few weeks back, I had searched for a local restaurant that a friend told me about and now that I had some free time to go check it out, I could not remember the name of the place! Since I didn’t […]
Recently, a friend of mine created a new Gmail account that included her full name instead of a generic screen name she had been using for the last several years. She called me up and asked me how she could move emails from one Gmail account to another. After fiddling around with it a bit, […]
I used to use Google Toolbar with Firefox and Internet Explorer because it had some useful features that I used on a regular basis and it kept me connected to my Google account.
