Google Services…
A discussion, and an update. How many of the Google Services you use today?
Gmail webmail looks very solid and nice to me, so maybe that’s why…
…they are starting to work on the looks now.
Ok, first the update. The only ones who still don’t know about this is probably those who don’t have a Gmail account.
They recently updated Gmail with themes!
I’m willing to bet most otakus are using either the Ninja theme, or the Tea House theme.
As you can see, I got Tea House.
It’s awesome… the theme changes through the day (using the time of the city you provided).
But back to the discussion… I wanted to ask which Google Services you use?
I’ll try to limit the videos so this post doesn’t get too long.
Here are some I use:
Google Reader (Google’s RSS Reader)
With the help of Google Gears you can even use it offline… which is awesome!
Google Toolbar 5
Started using because of Google Bookmarks and PageRank
Gmail
The chat feature has been updated recently for video chat
Beats Yahoo and MSN by far IMHO
Google Maps
Saved me several times during trips
Always use it to find places I need to go, or plan trips
Google Earth
When I need more detailed mapping stuff, pics and information about markets and other stuff the Google Earth community provides
Already have a Google Analytics account
Will start using it as soon as I transfer my blog account to self host (currently at WordPress.com)
Currently considering Google Apps
Also Google Search, Google Images and Google Groups.
And I won’t even begin talking about the 3rd party stuff like YouTube, Picasa, Orkut and others…
I’m a Google addict, and if they are trying to take over the world, you can be damn shure I’ll become their zombie/servant/slave.
What about you? Which ones do you use? Which ones you recommend?
