From the All Things Google Dept.....

One of the workshops offered yesterday, Saving Time on the Internet, provided some very useful information for searchers. Leighann Forbes, from Secondary Education, demonstrated advanced search features for Altavista and Google, as well as other good sites for managing online resources. Here are some highlights:

Google has just announced a new map resource, Google Maps, which many find very easy to use. Other Google features -- Blogger.com (powering this one), Picassa Online Photo Organizer, and Keyhole, an up-to-date version of the Terra server site.

IKeepBookmarks.com is way cool--allowing you to upload home and office bookmarks and favorites and organize and maintain all of your links online--accessible anywhere you have 'net.

Best of all--these resources are FREE.
