Squared Google?

Just found some useful items concerning GMail. If you click on Settings and go to Themes you can change the look of your account. This is handy for me since one account has red highlights in Internet Explorer and the other account is green in Firefox. Also, Google is busy creating new tools for GMail. Go to Settings and click on Labs. GMail, IMHO, is the best email service in the solar system.

If you use iGoogle for your homepage (I definitely do on all browsers) they have many themes that change the look of the page. Check it out at iGoogle Themes. Beagle, they've got one with your name on it. It's titled Puppies.


Look at that cutie to the far left, lol. They have pages of themes so there's most likely something that will strike your fancy. I still use the Beach theme because I think it's kewl how the sun goes up and down with the time of day. You just add your time zone to it and it does it automatically.

This info came about due to my curiosity about Google Squared. You can read about it at COMPUTERWORLD. This is a new format that should be out before the end of the month. How does it work? Let's say you search for, "small dogs." Google Squared will give you a list of different breeds with pictures, a short description and links. How kewl is that? Will keep you posted when I see it released.

Hope this helps.
