Example:
  1. I would like to present iGoogle because I use it to keep track of schoolwork and it has other cool features, like quotes and artwork and places to see.
  2. http://marketplace.publicradio.org/features/budget_hero/ This lets you create a national budget and fund projects and make cuts. I think we should do this.
  3. http://play.blogger.com/ This site shows the live feed of photos uploaded to blogger, and I think it is beautiful and mesmerizing
  4. http://pixenate.com This is an online photo editing tool that will help us with our projects and that we can use for our personal photos.
