Every day, countless chats are sent between colleagues as they go about their duties. If your business uses Google Chat to send these messages, then you have the capability of scheduling chats for a later date. This neat little feature is hidden right in plain sight, too, so don’t feel bad about not seeing it. The question now is what are you going to use it for, and how do you schedule chats in the first place?

There are a *lot* of emojis out there, but sometimes you might find yourself in a situation where just one isn’t going to fulfill your needs.

While most browsers offer a bookmark feature, allowing a user to save certain web pages for repeated viewing, Google Chrome adds to this with an added functionality: Google Saved.

Previously known as Google Collections, Google Saved gives users a convenient place to keep track of things they want to return to later… similar to a bookmark, but more so.

If we told you that someone could guess information about you just from looking at an image, what would you say? You’d probably say, “yeah, no $!#?!” but we’re not talking about minor details… we’re talking about a *lot* of details. Paragraphs, even—plenty enough to be concerning.

In recent years, educational institutions have widely adopted the regular use of laptops in the classroom, and with budgets being a pressing concern for many of these institutions, the cost-sensitive nature of Chromebooks make them an excellent option… at least, that would be the assumption.

Google Docs has been a worthy competitor to the ubiquitous Microsoft Word since the search engine giant launched the service in 2006. Since then, it’s been used by personal accounts and businesses as a fantastic alternative to the Microsoft Office suite.

However, there’s one little hang-up that people often run into when using Google Docs, and we’re going to show you how to overcome it.

Have you ever tried using an email group? You might find that it helps you stay organized and efficient.

You can do this through the groups feature in Gmail.
