Google Earth/Google Street

I absolutely love both Google Earth and Google Street. I have used Google Earth both as a time-waster and a tool for a geology course. As a course-tool, Google Earth was able to show me real-word examples of the theories and structures we were studying. The overlays and other tools which Google Earth has available make exploring the Earth easy to do. Upon revisting Google Earth, I discovered that they have integrated Google Street into Google Earth, which is supercool and handy; it's like having peanut-butter AND jam - they're good by themselves, but even better together. I also looked at the Sky, Moon, and Mars images. I was, however, kind of disappointed by the quality of the moon and Mars images, especially at the poles. This is probably due to the fewer number of satellites or something to that effect. Overall, Google gets an A in my books.

Facebook: waste of time or handy tool?

When Facebook first came out I was in high school. Since it was better than Nexopia, of course everyone had to get an account. Up until the last year or so, I wasted A LOT of time on Facebook doing pretty much nothing. Now, I really only use Facebook for keeping in touch with people who are living outside the city and planning events with my friends. The most useful feature Facebook offers is the event-planning tool. Due to everyone's busy schedule, it's handy to have a single place where everyone can go to learn about the latest excursion and RSVP. However, Facebook is mostly just a way to pass the time.

How easy or difficult was it to find articles that needed editing? Were the errors you found factual or grammar / spelling?

I use Wikipedia quite often, usually to look up small things such as a name or song title. I have often had discussions with my fellow English majors about the benefits of using Wikipedia as a jumping off point when doing research. However, I have found that many articles are poorly written. As I was looking around today with the intention of finding and correcting errors, I found that the vast majority of errors were related to comma misuse. This seems to be a common mistake I find in many people's writing since commas can be tricky little buggers. Overall, I like Wikipedia because it's quick, easy-to-use, and usually correct enough for my purposes.
