A Few of My Must-Haves
Google Alerts
GMail
Picasa/Picnik
Google Calendar
Google Reader
Google Voice
Google Docs
Profiles & Google+
Google +1
Google Mobilizer
Mobile Apps


Google Alerts
Find out whenever
your search term is
posted on the web
– an awesome way
to manage your
online presence.


Google Alerts
Get a preview of your results as you set the alert!


Google Alerts

This is an example of the email from Google
with your alert information. I can see where
my name came up and click the link to view
the post.

Google Alerts

Google Alerts for your name, your brand, your
listing address and anything else you want to
keep track of on the web.

GMail
Why I heart GMail:

1. Labels – the new web’s version of a folder
2. Filters – make sorting your inbox easy
3. Conversation View – ahhh togetherness
4. Multiple Signatures – for multiple accts
5. Contacts – manage with ease
6. LABS – super cool and handy


GMail

Make GMail your online Outlook! An email
might not fit perfectly into one folder. Label
it with as many Google labels as you need!
Emails can be filtered to have a label
automatically applied. Use the flags for
importance.

GMail

Canned Responses Labels/Nested
Don't Forget Bob! Send and Archive
Got the Right Bob? Undo Send
Google Voice Player Mail Goggles

GMail Contacts

GMail is NOT a contact
management system. However,
they have some great tools for
working with your contacts!
Take the time to set up Groups –
they come in handy across other
Google tools that you use.

GMail Contacts
When I pull up a contact
record, I can see the
groups that I have that
person in, some basic
info – including custom
fields if I want them and
recent conversations.
Photos will only come
up for contacts if you or
the contact adds the
pic.


GMail Contacts
When you click Add, you see
this menu, filled with tons of
additional fields that you can
add to a contact record as you
need them!

Plus create your own custom
field.


Picasa + Picnik
The two parts of Picasa:
1.Photo editing software (download to use)
2.Picasa Web Albums


Picasa
The Picasa software has
some decent photo editing
tools, tuning and effects.
Plus Geo-Tag, create
Collages, and upload to
web albums from here. Try
the I’m Feeling Lucky
button for fast editing.


Picasa
You can use a Picasa web album to create a
virtual tour complete with transitions,
captions and music with just a few clicks!

Picnik
Picnik is one of my favorite tools in
the Google arsenal. Let’s dive in …


Picnik
It’s like Photoshop but FREE (mostly)

You will LOVE Picnik.

For all that it can do …
For the simplicity …
For the results!

Whiten teeth, fix a stray hair, brighten eyes,
get a tan and of course … insta-thin!

Profiles & Google+
Your Google Profile is used to identify you across the web
on the various Google tools that you use everyday. With
the launch of Google+, your profile has become the first
step in getting started with this social networking tool.


https://profiles.google.com/stefanieaingehahn


Google+
Google+ is a new social networking site – officially
launching to the public in September 2011. Google+
has a fairly simple design and many similarities to
both Facebook and Twitter. Google+ launched a few
months ago in beta so don’t be surprised to see a
flourishing community there already.

Access Google+
(and your other
Google favs) right
from GMail.


Google+

At first glance, the layout appears Facebook-
esque with a few terminology changes.

Google+

Google+ believe that “Circles” are the better way to
manage who you connect and share with online.

Google+
Sharing updates
on Google+ can
be targeted to
specific circles or
shared publicly.

Share text, links,
location, photos
and video and
then select who
should see it.


Google+
One of the
coolest Google+
features are
Hangouts. You
can “hangout”
online and video
chat with your
friends.


Google +1


Google +1’s


Google +1’s
You will find
the Google +1
button on
websites,
blogs, blog
posts, Google
search results
and more. If

your own site
or blog, you
can add it
easily.
