Challenge 4 - you complete me

So I did the first 92.7% of this challenge, reading all the about google stuff and setting up the RSS feed. Turns out, over 4 months later I never went back and finished by BLOGGING about it. Ha. Sometimes I have the attention span of a gnat. So here we go:

What I learned about in this challenge - I actually had always assumed a google search would search google books. Now I know I should look in google books specifically. Definitely will come in handy.

What I learned on a google blog post - well, apparently in the future everyone will "monetize their 15 minutes" meaning try and get rich quick with silly videos of themselves. Apparently Google has created a program for people with popular YouTube videos to profit from their videos. This will probably mean a lot more videos of a lot more people doing a lot more stunts. I will keep my opinion to myself on that one.

Challenge #1 - better late then never

I just realized that I never went back and wrote about the final step of challenge #1. Since, as I said previously, I have a Mac I ended up downloading a book for my mother to listen to while walking the boardwalk. Although I just recently saw that now Listen NJ works with Mac so I'll have to try it out at home and put some books on my Iphone. That would make my commute a breeze!

GVRL

Okay, so I've actually used the GVRL a few times and yes, they always don't believe me when I say that they are BOOKS but online. So the trick of showing them the Videohound is great!!!

I have never tried the translator before, it's pretty cool. I translated my "Alternative Energy" article into German and browsed through for words I recognized. "Smokestack" stood out. Ha.
