Have you ever noticed...

...how much you depend on one website?

What website do you depend on?

For me, it's Google. I'm not going to be the typical college student and say 'Facebook', because for me, Google is where it's at. Let me explain. iGoogle is my home page. GMail is my main e-mail service (I even get my school e-mail forwarded there). Blogger - Google product. Picasa (my picture website) - another Google product. Google Reader is my RSS feeder to be able to keep up with various blogs and other websites. I even use Google Docs and Google Notebook. Google Calender is on my homepage. Oh and let's not even get me started on Google search! My search engine for everything. How many times do you think you've said "I/You/We should Google this or that"? I never noticed it until this summer in Italia when I didn't have a consistent internet connection. There would be a landmark/building/church that we'd have a question about the history of that wouldn't be in our guidebooks (and we had tons of 'em between us all) or in our textbooks and we'd want to Google info.

It's amazing once you think about it...
