Earlier I wrote an article outlining eight freebies on Google, this a continuation of treasures I have found on Google. In my explorations as a Google fan I found several more FREE and exciting helpers for the internet user from Google.

Google Freebie 9 - Google Calendar
Google offers a really nice calendar with a lot of bells and whistles. Similar in just a few ways to a Microsoft Outlook calendar, Google Calendar has some fun and functional extras. You can search a holiday and come up with different sets of holidays to add to your calendar. From U.S. Holidays to Vietnamese to Danish Holidays Google makes it available. My favorite is Goofy Holidays. You can also add TV Shows, Sports and other events from sets that can be merged with your customized calendar.

Google Freebie 10 - Picasa Web Albums
A place to store or share your photos with some twists. Google makes it available on your cell phone and comments can be posted. Photos can be arranged on a map to show your viewers where your pictures were taken. You can also create a portable Flash slideshow that can be embedded in your blog or web page. Picasa Web Album is available in several languages.

Google Freebie 11- Google Docs
In Google Docs you can interactively create and edit word processing documents and spreadsheets. You and others can make revisions or comments on documents or spreadsheets loaded into the Google Docs interface. You can Chat with others who are also involved in the editing process of your document or spread sheet. Cool huh? Find the info at http://docs.google.com/?tab=go.

Google Freebie 12 - Blogger
You may already know that Google offers their fun and EASY to use version of a blog creator. You can create your own professional looking blog on Blogger using several templates or graphics. Blogger has a simple drag and drop interface that I prefer.
