GOOOOOOOOOOGLE!

I like Google! It definitely helps me at the INFO desk to look up the correct spelling of an author/singer! Only if Symphony was half as intuitive as Google... we can only wish!!!!
I have used Google Earth since it started, it really is a cool programme. If you have friends and family living at far out places, you can almost see houses on the Google Earth.
For this assignment, I checked Google Chrome, and read a bit about it.
I checked out Google labs, and especially Script Converter, and Google Transliteration. Script converter is a wonderful tool which converts text and web pages written in one script to its phonetic equivalent in another script. Right now, only a few languages are available. I tried English to Hindi conversion, and it worked very well. This can be a valuable tool for the ESL purposes when all languages are included. With Google Transliteration, I could very easily type in Hindi using the English keyboard. Both of these tools need some work done (esp. the language database is limited), but I think would be highly valuable. I would highly recommend both of these tools to my friends. I am hoping Google will create a programme for libraries, and that surely would be great!!!!
