Thing # 12 Can I use Google to search Google?

     Good day, readers! Today we will be talking about that little search engine you might know called Google. Specifically, I will be discussing two of Google's tools: Google Translate and Picasa. I choose these two since I very familiar with both of them. I have received tons of experience during last semester. I took Technical Writing and the big project for that class was making a manual for Picasa. Picasa and Picasa Web Albums are very simple to use and bring a lot to the table. During the time of making the manual, I saw how easy it was to organize and edit your photos. Google Translate, on the other hand, is a tool I am only slightly familiar with. I am a fan of putting together plastic models and over time I have bookmarked many blogs and personal sites of modelers. The thing is not all of them are in English and that is where Google Translate steps in. It is able to translate site from most languages. I do not recommend using it to translate your foreign language homework. I would recommend actually studying and learning the language then using a secondary source.
