Till almost 2 years back, Google was synonymous with Search. For my brother and father, both doctors, people who have become Net savvy very recently - Net means one of their Medical site and Google for anything that they cannot find otherwise.
However, if you just look around today, you hear Google coming up in far too many conversations - apart from the Search domain. You cannot help but wonder - What is Google upto?
It is amazing to see the vast array of tools Google is providing and the technologies Google is dabbling with:
GMail - has totally redefined e-mail applications
Google Talk - Like many others, I am taken in by its simplicity and useful features
GTalk integration with Gmail - cool idea!
Google Calendar
Google Spreadsheets
Google Checkout - haven't really checked it out :-)
Google Search API - now you can integrate Google Search into your web applications
Google Web Toolkit - awesome engineering idea
Google Maps
Google Earth - great, despite all the furore over security and privacy
So much more than the great Search Engine they are famous for!
