Really cool Google Tool…

by

Hello Folks! Glad to see you again today.

I want to let you in on another little-known or little-used, under appreciated Google treasure. This feature is also FREE! It is the Google Desktop and can be found at

This is a feature-rich tool that will personalize your Internet Experience in ways you never imagined before. It turns your home computer into a very personal mirage of your life, right at your fingertips!

So, how does one go about getting this tool? Simple!
1) Click the link above to begin the download process.
2) Click “Agree & Download” button
3) Follow the step by step prompts

What will eventually emerge is a Google Sidebar complete with your city’s temperature (you must input your zip code/location for this to work), your photos (in the middle), time and colorful, customized information on the bottom, such as the news.

If you do not want the sidebar as your desktop space feels at a premium, simply close the sidebar and double-click the desktop icon to re-open it at any time.

Do you like my Google series? Want to learn more? Please comment or drop me an email! I like your feedback! Questions are always welcomed.
