Favorite Google Apps
Filed under: Blogging
Everyone knows what google is. But did you know that google has more than just “Search?” Google has many searchable options as well as downloadable software applications. Here are a few of my favorites in order:
- Search (by far)
- Calendar (I use this to manage my daily schedule and then import it into iCal.
- Maps (always useful, the best maps on the internet)
- GMail (I use this, but forward it to my inbox)
- YouTube
- Google Earth (Combines google search with satellite imagery, maps, terrain, and 3D buildings.)
- Google News (Compiles news from thousands of sources, even from personalized searches – I used to use this constantly, but then it started to eat up too much of my time.)
What are your favorites?

Wow… it’s official… you’re a nerd!
Not that it’s a news flash or anything!
(Just for the record, I use the word “nerd” as a term of affection!)

Obviously, I use gmail as my main email address. The search engine has no other “real” competition in my opinion. YouTube is great… I forgot that it is now owned by google. An interesting tool I appreciate them having is a language translator. Try translating your blog into German or Portuguese!! Its really funny that because of stylesheets the translated pages look like they were designed that way.
