Google Products and Services

Last month Hank Pearson did an intriguing article on Google Voice. I haven't tried it yet but it is next on my to-do list. His article reminded me that Google isn't just a search engine or Gmail. In the new millennium, a computer service company, to survive, must keep expanding or lose out. Google is an excellent example. Here are some of the Google applications for your June Web Tour: ◊
Google Labs
You may or may not be aware of Google Labs.
This is where all the new Google ideas are available for anyone to try out.
◊
Google Storage
This new service provides online storage for Gmail, Picasa, and soon will be available in other areas.
◊
Google Buzz
Go beyond status messages.
Share updates, photos, videos, and more.
Start conversations about the things you find interesting.
Buzz can be public or private.
◊
