Thing #12

I liked using the Google alerts.  I have played softball since I was five years old.  I played fast pitch in high school and travel ball.  I even played up to six months pregnant, and I still play.  I like to follow fast pitch, because I miss it so much.  I now play slow pitch softball.  I made a Google Alert that follows fast pitch softball, and I really enjoyed reading the alert that was sent to me today.  I also plan on going back to it, and having recipe alerts sent to my email address.  I do not like to cook, but my boyfriend cook for our son and me. :)

The other one that I explored was the Google Translate.  All I really have to say is, WHY DIDN'T I KNOW ABOUT THIS IN HIGH SCHOOL? Haha.  Really, this could have been very useful in my high school Spanish class.  I probably played around with Google Translate for about 20 minutes, just typing in different phrases and seeing how it is said in many different languages.  I will probably play with it even more that I know about it.  I can use it in helping to teach my son different words in different languages.
