Thing 29. Google Tools

I picked the Alerts.com > alerts page.  I had them send updates to my email address about the cheapest gas prices, and top local news, one time a week.  I had them sent updates for both gas and diesel prices, just so I know what is happening for both types of fuel.  There were many other types of alerts you could get, but I decided to try these out for a while and maybe add others later on.  The movie/dvd alert would probably be one I will try next, especially to know when dvds come out, this would be very useful.  The second option I picked was the Google calendar, I would not want to share this with anyone, but it would be useful for me to add entries to it since I work two jobs, so this would be a good way to see where I need to be each day.  I think the week option would be nice for school, I usually just make an excel spreadsheet each semester, but this would save some time, since the dates were already there, I would just need to update the days with whatever assignment was due.
