Get notified when Google Maps updates a certain location

Many of the times we are on Google Maps looking if our own house is visible. Unfortunately, they are outdated and not live because of security reasons.  What if you could get notified when a certain aerial image was updated at a certain  point? That would be awesome! So, you did not have to go back constantly to check if it was updated.  If you have a Google account and can click this link , followyourworld.appspot.com you may tell Google to notify you when there is a new image.

It is easy. Just give it the location and an email address.  That is it.

Subscribe to Google Calendars

Many of you have a Gmail account but do you use Google Calendar? If you do not, it is a very good way to organize everything, especially if you have  smart phone. I have been using Google Calendar for about a year now and  wherever I go I can plan trips, reschedule meetings and get reminders that I need like change my tires on my car. Today, I saw these reminders and thought to my self. I bet there are more calendars out there that can become useful to me, like when does my favorite team play. Indeed, I found many. If you sign in to your Google Calendar and look at your left column, you will see a section that says "Other Calendars". Under that section there is a  link that says "add" . Click on it.

After you click on it you will get a small pop-up and select "Browse Interesting Calendars"

You will be taken to a screen like this:

Here you can subscribe to any Calendar. Google has subscriptions to ...

  • Country Holidays
  • Sport times
  • Phases of the moon
  • and much more.
