Google is one of those few companies I knew was good from the get go. I first saw the Google search engine in 1998. It was developed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Stanford University students. It just worked better and is still the best search engine. They have moved on from search and here is a brief list of Google products.
This blog is hosted on Blogger a Google application. We know it is very cool.
Google Desktop was a natural extension of the Google search engine to the PC. It searches and indexes everything on your PC. It is 3 times as fast as the search built into Windows.
Google Earth. Everyone loves this application when they see it. It is essentially a composite of all the satellite photos that are taken every day. You can zoom in on your house, place of work or next vacation destination from outer space. Very cool. I saw an article recently where the rescuers of Hurricane Katrina victims used it to search New Orleans when there were no recognizable landmarks.
Gmail. There probably are better email services (we like AOL), but this one has it all at a great price (free).
Google Hello is a web based photo sharing site. Again there are lots of competitors, but this one is a bit better.
Picasa is a very good desktop picture management software. You can organize, edit, rename and even display your digital pictures. We highly recommend this product.
Google Talk is an Instant Messenger host. You can only talk with other Gmail customers, but there are lots of features that make it fun to use.
