#10

(8. Search within a specific website)
This feature makes Google searches much
  faster and more effective! Instead of going
  to a site and looking there, you can get
  results directly from a particular site. (I.e.
  Michael Jordan on Wikipedia can be
  accessed by searching site:wikipedia.org
  Michael Jordan instead of going to the site
  separately or finding Wikipedia from the
  search results.)
#9

(9. Search a specific file type)
Wow! Typing filetype:pdf or filetype:jpg (and
  many more) works to search a term with a
  specific file type. If you don't want the
  information about a song but instead to find
  where you can download the song file
  directly, filetype:mp3 [title] will make your
  search much faster and more efficient.
#8

(12. Find a term in a URL)
When researching a topic but only wanting
  results from a particular year, typing
  inurl:2009 [search term] will bring up only
  sites whose URLs have that particular year in
  them. Your results are immediately
  narrowed down and made more relevant to
  your search!
#7

(66. Never get lost again with Google Maps
   Mobile)
I use Google Maps on my iPhone frequently
   and definitely agree with this feature! It
   allows you to enter "Current Location" when
   you don't need to type out your entire
   address or aren't sure where you are but
   need to find a restaurant nearby, etc. It's
   definitely useful!
#6

(64. Read your gGoogle Docs)
Having access to Google Docs on my iPhone
  and iPad is really convenient. If I want to
  double-check something or show a colleague
  a presentation, or an idea, I can do so
  immediately without having to be physically
  at a computer. Plus, since we can edit,
  ongoing to-do lists between colleagues can
  be edited, added to, or commented on at
  any time so that they're always updated!
#5

(43. Add a "Waiting for Response" label")
Adding custom labels and then the idea of
  making one a 'Waiting for Response' one is
  very helpful. That way, at the end of the
  week or whenever is convenient, you can
  verify which you've heard back from, which
  you haven't, etc. and follow up accordingly.
  Between work, friends, school, it can be
  easy to send emails out into the universe
  and forget you're waiting for a response, and
  this prevents that.
#4

(69. Post to your blog)
Being able to blog post from a mobile device is
  very helpful, especially if you use a Blogger
  page (through Google) for your students. It's
  free and the blog feature is great if they
  have any questions or just want to comment
  something friendly. Being able to update it
  on the go is very convenient, especially for
  reminders and quick updates.
#3

(35. Use the Tasks as a to-do list)
Choosing Tasks instead of Mail and then using
  it as a running to-do list is much like the
  Chrome extension Add.DO. It's very
  convenient, fast, and easy, and keeps your
  tasks in one place! Whichever system works
  best, Google definitely offers options that
  are convenient to keep track of what you
  need to do in a place you'll already be, your
  e-mail.
#2

(45. Consolidate email accounts)
I use this feature and would not be able to
   manage and organize my email without it!
   Between work, personal, and APSU email, all
   the accounts coming to one address is a
   lifesaver! I never have to worry that I forgot
   to check my email or might have missed
   something when they are all in the same
   place. It's extremely convenient!
#1

(38. Never forget to attach a file)
This feature has saved me several very
  important times where I've written,
  "Attached is ____," and then forgot to attach
  it. Before it sends it asks you, "You've
  written 'I've attached ___' but nothing is
  attached; would you like to attach it now?"
  Awesome!! It cuts down on saving face and
  having to send that follow-up "Oops" email
  with the attachment.
