Google Toolbar Part I

By now, everyone should have the Google Toolbar http://toolbar.google.com. This is an add-on to Internet Explorer or Firefox that is really hard to live without. It has dozens of features and buttons you can add to do whatever you want. Besides the obligatory enhanced Google Search box, some of my favorites are the Search on This Page button, the Up button (which takes you one level higher in the webpage you’re on), the star button (Bookmark This Page), the News button and the Dictionary (tfd.com) button. Bookmarking here means that Google keeps track of your bookmarks so that you can share them on different computers. The News button takes you to the Google News page http://news.google.com/ which continuously browses 4,500 news sources and is sure to feed any news junkie’s addiction. There, you can customize the page to find stories of interest to you. And Google will keep track of the ones you read to suggest ones you might like.
