The Truth about Pocahontas

I have not had a chance to use wikis but can see the usefulness of doing so. In my case, I could add some tips for using various software and ask others to contribute ways they make use of the program or different shortcuts that help them do things more quickly or efficiently.

Another option I see is family history. Right now I am working on the genealogy of my family and have several questions about the location of my ancestors and whether, or not, I really am related to Pocahontas. I could invite others to read what I had researched and they could add and correct the things I found.

By using Wikipedia I found that she never married John Smith and I appear to be related to her husband, John Rolfe.

Using Google in the Cloud

I have used Google Docs to begin work on a document at work and continue working on it at home instead of using a flash drive or making an attachment to an e-mail. (Since I have a dial-up connection at home, it is faster to work with Google Docs than to download an attachment.)

I use Google Reader extensively, both to keep up-to-date on the latest upgrades to Google and Microsoft products and to read more about other topics that interest me.

I also use Google Calendar for my personal appointments and to keep track of items that are important to our department.
