Panoramio and Google Offers

Today I explored two utensils that Google offers: Panoramio and Google Offers.  Panoramio is a cool gadget that involves Google Maps.  What you can do is, type in an address, or a place in the world, like this picture of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.  Also, what Panoramio does is if people have uploaded pictures from that spot, you can click on those pictures and see that area as a person would and not just from the sky. 

The other tool that I explored was Google Offers.  Google offers is a cool gadget that you can use to get items from around your area.  Google uses your location, and then it gives you several products that Google Offers, offers in a nearby city.  This is a picture of thermal stones.  They are really cool because you can freeze them, and put them in a cold drink, or, you could put them in the microwave and have them heat up our coffee or a different warm drink.
