Google Week!
Okay, so I'm fairly familiar with Google, but it's always nice to see how dynamic the services they offer are and how they're continuously updating existing services and offering new ones.
I'll talk quickly about how they've done each of the above.
One thing of which I was unaware until a colleague pointed it out was that they've incorporated "street view" (with which I 'm familiar from Google Earth) into Google Maps. Nice to be able to take a virtual walk down almost any street.
One other service that was new to me until a month or two ago was "Sketchup" - an architectural type program that allows for the design and layout of homes and buildings. It works very well for set design for theatre projects - giving an all angles view of sets and stage area.
What's to like about Google products? The ease and accessibility primarily. I don't use gmail, but I might eventually have to succumb....
What do I dislike? Not a heck of a lot. :) - except for a niggling concern that "big brother is watching me...." And yes, I'd recommend Google products to friends and colleagues. The price is right.
