List of all Google Services

Google About
Google Inc. is an American multinational software corporation, first incorporated as a privately held corporation in September, 1998, that specializes in search engine, information retrieval technology and online advertising. With a market capitalization of over US$83.09 billion as of June 2006, Google is the largest internet search company in the world, almost twice as large as arch-rival Yahoo! The company employs approximately 6,800 employees and is based in Mountain View, California.

Google Accounts
Google Account gives you access to various Google services, including Google Groups, Froogle Shopping List, Personalized Search, your Personalized Homepage, and Google Answers. If you've used any of these services before, you already have a Google Account. If you have a Gmail account, you can use your Gmail username and password to sign in to your Google Account.

Google Adsense
Google's AdSense program allows third-party sites to run Google's famously successful text ads, which also get tailored to each of site's pages' content. In other words "AdSense is a site monetization program run by Google. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image and, more recently, video advertisements on their sites. These ads are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-thousand-ads-displayed basis."

Google AdSense is a virtual advertising agency, which automatically places ads on your Web pages and selects which ads to publish according to the specific type of content available on each.

What I don't like about Google AdSense:
I frankly feel very uneasy to be in a business relationship where my business partner, Google acts like God and I have to maintain blind faith and full trust in whatever it does.
Fact is that I have no way to check or verify whether Google is effectively providing me with what I deserve for my marketing communication effort.
http://adsense.google.com/

Google AdWords
Strengths:
Google AdWords has by far the widest coverage of any of the providers, allowing advertisers to reach a wide market using just one system. This coverage also makes it the most suitable for specialized businesses, who would not receive much search traffic from the smaller PPC providers. The minimum cost per click for a keyword can be a little as 1p, which can make AdWords suitable for editorial or low order value websites, where the 10p minimum cost per click required by the other providers would not be so cost-effective.
Weaknesses:
Google AdWords has now become so popular in some market sectors so that bidding is very competitive, meaning in some cases better value can be found elsewhere. The system provided by Google is very sophisticated - for example, ranking position can be determined by the bid price and the click through rate of the advert - so that the service can be difficult for beginners to understand initially.

Google Alerts
- With the help of google alerts you can easily:
- Monitoring a developing news story
- Keeping current on a competitor or industry
- Getting the latest on a celebrity or event
- Keeping tabs on your favorite topics such as sports, business etc
http://alerts.google.com/

Google Analytics (GA)
GA is basically a web analytical software tool. The big difference between GA and any other web analytical software tool is that it is free and that the integration with your account to enable you to run your account more profitably.
But the biggest drawback of GA is that it cannot capture spider visits. Knowledge of how a site is being spidered is a vital part of any campaign developing free listing visibility.
http://analytics.google.com/

Google Answers
Google Answers is a new open forum where Researchers answer questions for a fee. This site appears to have addressed many of the problems associated with previous attempts to provide this type of service, to the benefit of both askers and answerers.
Few advantages associated with it are: payment for answering questions, very fair treatment of askers and answerers, researchers are vetted for proficiency.
http://answers.google.com/

Google Base
The goal of Google Base is to collect and organize information and to expose it to the world, and that includes just about any kind of information, Google Base allows user to post information which can range from recipe tips or classified advertisements. Items listed on Google Base will also appear elsewhere on Google including via its web index and Froogle comparison shopping site.

This means you no longer need to put up a Web site, at least in certain circumstances. Just input your list of services, your products, your art, or the like into Google Base with the appropriate labels and attributes and your content is available to the world.
Google Base looks rather like a classifieds service but Google Base's purpose is actually broader: the sharing of content rather than simply the exchange of goods and services.
http://base.google.com/

Google Blog
Official Google's web log, with news of new products, events and glimpses of life inside the Googleplex are mentioned in the blog.
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/

Google Blog Search
In google blog Search, all the basic functions you'd expect from Google search results are present, including ranking results by date or by relevance. More importantly, the advanced search of Google Search Blog offers powerful functionality such as

• Searching by date ranges and limiting to individual blog authors
• Searching for words in a blog post title or by language

But google Blog Search crawl feeds only. Because feeds are, at least ideally, better structured than the published HTML of most blogs, it's possible to extract information like authorship of a post in a fairly consistent way.
Another point is that blogs publishing partial-entry feeds (many, many of these) will suffer a damaged profile in results because much of their text remains uncrawled. You could argue that this drawback is the publisher's problem, not Google's.
http://blogsearch.google.com/

Google Blogger
Blogger is by far the biggest name in online Blogging tools and probably has the most members, with 1.5 million registered users. The free version of Blogger is simple to use but is (understandably) light on features. By default, Blogger accounts are hosted on BlogSpot (www.blogspot.com), a storage site owned by Blogger. Free accounts have ads on their pages. Upgraded accounts cost $5 or $10 per month for 25MB or 100MB of storage space and are ad-free.
The good: Free; easy to use.
The bad: Lacks video support; limited to one user.
The bottom line: Beginners will love Blogger's ease of use and the fact that it's free. However, professionals should look elsewhere.
http://www.blogger.com/

Google Bookmarks
Google bookmark is not "social" bookmarking, like del.icio.us, because bookmarks are not public and cannot be shared among users. The product also requires way too many steps to create a bookmark.

To bookmark a site, make sure your google search history is turned on. Click "search history" on the top right of the results page. Bookmark a site by clicking on the star next to a result, and fill out the metadata.

Bookmarks are not public yet. If/once they are, this may be the first serious competition to del.icio.us.
http://www.google.com/bookmarks/

Google Book Search
Google Book Search enables users to search the full text of books to find titles that interest them and directs them to online bookstores where users may buy the books. Formerly it was known as Google Print.

Google scans and indexes the full text of the titles so that when Google users enter search terms that match content within a book, the user will be able to view a small portion of the book that matches the search terms.

When users click on a book search result, they access a Google-hosted Web page displaying a scanned image of the relevant page from the book. Each page also contains multiple "Buy the Book" links, directing users to purchase the book from online retailers.
Overall it is an excellent service of Google.

Google Business Solution

Google Calendar
It's fast, slick and stable. Adding an event is as easy as and Calendar structures the data properly and places a correct calendar entry.

The Key features:

• Text recognition - In adding an event or detecting a new event from Gmail, Calendar automatically detects event-specific words and suggests the adding of a new event with data auto-structured.
• Manage Multiple Calendars - set up multiple calendars (work, personal, etc) and view them separately or together.
• Heavy Gmail integration - Gmail recognizes when messages include event information, so when you get emailed about an event, you can add it to Google Calendar with just a couple clicks. Google Calendar links on the right side of the Gmail page.
• Sharing - Calendars can be shared with others, and you can subscribe to others' shared calendars. Read/write permissions can be granted on a per user basis. Calendars can be published via a web page or via RSS, so readers do not need to be on the Google Calendar platform.
• Importing - You can import events from other calendar programs, including Yahoo Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. Click "Settings," then "Import Calendar".
• Calendar Search
  Overall impression: Excellent. And this application is impressive in its speed and stability.

Google Catalog
Google's catalog -- to help both consumers and corporations find everything from apple butter to zipper doodles. Personally I feel Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.
Both consumer and corporate catalogs are accessible through the search. Catalogs were initially collected by Google staff members, but vendors and users may also suggest a catalog.
The only drawback to Google's new catalog browser is that you can't circle the items you really want. And if you don't have a high speed connection, the catalog pages will load slowly.
http://catalogs.google.com/

Google Cheat Sheet
Google Cheat Sheet is a great source for deeper and more powerful ways to use Google's search engine. If you would like to be a Google power user, then you need to learn the tricks of making the most out of Google's search features. Google Cheat Sheet provides you all of the best shortcuts to great searching.

Google Desk Bar
Google Deskbar lets you search using Google right from your desktop, even when your browser isn't running. Search from the Google Deskbar search box located within your Windows taskbar. Or type the Ctrl+Alt+G keyboard shortcut to jump to the Google Deskbar instantly. Search results appear in a "mini-viewer" window that closes automatically when you're done. This lets you find facts, check spelling or look up URLs without interrupting your work on an email or a document. Google Deskbar supports features like Google News, Images and Froogle, and you can even add plug-ins to access more information sources.
Google Deskbar Features:
You can use numerous Google search features like Google News, Google Images and Froogle.
Keyboard shortcuts save time and let you access multiple information sources:

• From anywhere on your desktop...
• Move cursor to Google Deskbar Ctrl+Alt+G
• Hide/show "mini-viewer" window Shift+F1
• From within Google Deskbar...
• Search News Ctrl + N
• Search Froogle Ctrl + F
• Google Images Ctrl + I
• Definitions Ctrl + D

Although Google Deskbar has some good stuff, like the sidebar's search box, it has the search-as-you-type ability, but the most annoying for most people appears to be that there is no support for Linux or Macs at the moment, it only supports Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Server 2003.

Google Desktop
Google Desktop (formerly known as Google Desktop Search or "GDS" is free program from Google that enables you to search for data on your computer much like you use Google to search the Web. You can look for and open e-mails, photos, music files, PDFs, and lots of other good stuff. No ads are shown. Below you can see a screenshot of me searching for "drink."
GD has some stark strengths and weaknesses when compared to some rather admirable competitors.
STRENGTHS

• Small footprint.
• Plugins architecture
• Ability to search desktop and Webmail (well, at least Gmail) simultaneously
• Enjoyable extras
• Fast and comprehensive indexing
• Web history

WEAKNESSES

• Search results narrowing by field
• Full-pane previews
• Limited hits in find-as-you-type
• Lack of synchronization of panel extras.

Google Directory
Google Directory was launched in April 2000. The directory is a subset of the links in Google's database arranged into hierarchical subcategories, like an advanced Yellow Pages of the web. The source of the directory and its categorization is from the Open Directory Project (ODP). The ODP publishes an easily parsed version of its database in Resource Description Framework (RDF) format for other sites, like Google, to use for derivative directories. The Websites in the Google Directory are sorted by PageRank.

Google directory includes high quality and quantity of web sites.

Google dMarc
DMarc is an advertise company that connects advertisers directly to radio stations through its automated advertising platform. The platform simplifies the sales process, scheduling, delivery and reporting of radio advertising, enabling advertisers to more efficiently purchase and track their campaigns. For broadcasters, dMarc's technology automatically schedules and places advertising, helping to increase revenue and decrease the costs associated with processing advertisements. In January 17, 2006, Google acquire dMarc Broadcasting Inc. and integrate dMarc technology into the Google AdWords for creating a new radio ad distribution channel for Google advertisers.

Google Dodgeball
Dodgeball Company was acquired by Google in May 2005. Dodgeball.com - as they describe it - is "mobile social software." The site is designed to build social networks based on popular bar and restaurant locations. The site allows you and your network of Dodgeball friends to update each other on what bars and restaurants you're at using short text messages from your cell phone. Started in New York City, the service it is currently rolled out in twenty two cities in the United States.
It's a fun way to give techie shout outs to friends. It's faster and easier than calling your friends to organize a night out. It's a great way to discover new restaurants and bars.
http://www.dodgeball.com/

Google Earth
Google Earth combines satellite imagery, maps and the power of Google Search to put the world's geographic information at your fingertips.

Google Earth makes the traditional Keyhole experience less geeky, and accomplishes a nearly complete integration of Google Local and Google Maps. An important aspect of the changeover is the planet-wide graphics update which renders every inch of the globe in medium detail at least-populated areas get the high-resolution treatment in which cars, trees, and occasionally people are discernible. The combination of improved interface, better images, and tight integration makes Google Earth a blazing success.

On the other hand few problems are also associate with google earth like complains against google earth at government official level South Korea is to take the US to task over Google Earth images which expose its military installations to close Commie scrutiny has provoked a mini stampede of other peace-loving nations eager to protect their assets from prying eyes.

The flaws, whys and wherefores

Google Earth is a Beta programme which it means it is still under testing (Beta programmers use feedback from their users to tweak things). As such Google Earth is not quite a complete programme and although the USA and United Kingdom are given great coverage in terms of landscapes and landmarks (zoom in on Cape Canaveral) other less developed areas are not as extensively mapped and pictures can be blurry. Particularly, disappointing is the poor coverage of The Great Wall of China which after all is the largest existing man-made structure. If it had been in America it would have been in Technicolor. There can also be the odd dodgy satellite picture too were cloud coverage obscures some buildings. Neither are they complete in terms of place names as illustrated in our example when we found pictures of Japan are great but finding were our friends lived was an impossibility. However, this is a free programme. Though there is a further two subscription options for the casual user they seem to offer little benefit and Google promise the programme is being improved upon all the time. If your house is not listed you can sign up for the newsletter which informs of new additions or reviewed pictures and I can only see Google Earth getting better and better my only fear being that this cannot stay a free programme forever.

Advantages: Fascinating, largely accurate satellite display, 3D pictures of landmarks. Free!
Disadvantages: Still in Beta testing stage, less developed countries poorly presented. Some blurring in images is also found.

Google Finance
Google Finance, a search and info-portal for US stocks. You can search for both a company name (like "Google"), its stock market symbol (like "GOOG"), or a business (like "search"). Google Finance is now also linked to from the main Google web search when you search for stocks.
But Google finance not gained assumed popularity. Google's Google Finance has failed so far to break into the ranks of the ten most popular sites of this type, according to Hitwise.
All of the new/innovative/cool features in Google Finance are things we were aware about YEARS ago. Some were even prototyped. Such as:

• A ticker search that doesn't suck.
• Charts with overlays for news events.
• Blog integration.
• Featuring discussions more prominently.
• RSS support.

Google Firefox Extensions
Google's new Firefox extension called "Safe Browsing for Firefox". From the "Introduction" section of the plug-in website, here is what it does:
"Google Safe Browsing is an extension to Firefox that alerts you if a web page that you visit appears to be asking for your personal or financial information under false pretences. This type of attack, known as phishing or spoofing, is becoming more sophisticated, widespread and dangerous. That's why it's important to browse safely with Google Safe Browsing. By combining advanced algorithms with reports about misleading pages from a number of sources, Safe Browsing is often able to automatically warn you when you encounter a page that's trying to trick you into disclosing personal information."
http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/index.html

Google Foundation
Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have announced that they are planning to establish a charitable Google Foundation.
The two entrepreneurs are aiming to extend the principles behind Google the company, 'you can make money without doing evil', to Google the charity.
Mr Brin and Mr Page recently joined Forbes magazine's list of global billionaires. The pair is likely to become still richer if the rumored Google IPO takes place this year.

Google's Froogle
'Froogle' is a service by 'Google' and is basically a search engine to help you find out about products online. As many of you will know, 'Google' searches the web for any pages or sites containing the words you have specified, 'Froogle' however works a little bit differently, when you enter the name of the item you want to find, Froogle searches the pages google's spidering software has previously identified as pages that offer products for sale. Froogle then also supplies you with information on the product which has been submitted electronically by merchants.

How is Froogle different from your average search engine?
Froogle focuses entirely on product search and will only give you a list of products for sale on the Internet, which are most relevant to your search criteria. Froogle doesn't actually sell product, it just collates a list of shops, which sell what you are after so that you can get the best deals. Froogle also does not promote partner stores within the search results, so there are no particular shops, which get higher preference. Froogle does not charge the online shops to be displayed in the search results, and the merchants that pay to advertise are kept to the right hand side of the page and clearly labeled sponsored links.
Why the name!?
"Froogle is a play on the word "frugal," meaning thrifty, and the name "Google," which has come to stand for excellence in search technology.
http://froogle.google.com/

Google Froogle Mobile
Search giant Google has launched a new price comparison service for mobile phones.
Froogle Mobile is based on Google's search technology and offers the firm's full complement of Froogle price comparison services and reviews on mobiles and handheld devices.
The service enables shoppers to check prices available while they are in the store and features include customizable search preferences, the ability to search by store, category or price, and the ability to compare product prices across stores.
http://wml.froogle.com

Google Glossary
When you include "define," "what is," or "what are" in your query in front of a word, phrase, or acronym, Google displays one Glossary definition above your search results. Google Glossary provides definitions for words, phrases, and acronyms that Google finds on web pages. The Glossary is good for finding definitions for terms that aren't in some dictionaries, e.g., slang words, technical terms, ethnic words and other specialized terms.

Google Gmail
Google-owned, web-based email service that includes over 2 and half gigabytes of storage (and growing).

What's new on Gmail?

Google Groups
Google Groups is a free service which helps groups of people communicates effectively using email and the Web. Every group has a home page hosted by Google where members can start new discussions or reply to older topics. Every group also has its own email address to help its members stay in touch with each other. Members can read and search all public Google Groups content, including more than 1 billion postings from the Usenet bulletin board service, dating back to 1981. Every group has its own Google-fast search, making it easy to find discussions locked away deep in your group's archive.
This new version of Google Groups lets you easily create your own announcement lists, mailing lists and public discussions in just minutes. The new Google Groups also makes it easier to read and participate in discussions. All the replies to an initial post are now gathered on one page.

http://www.hello.com/

Google Images
In 2003, Google announced Google Images, which allows users to search the web for image content. The keywords for the image search are based on the filename of the image, the link text pointing to the image, and text adjacent to the image. When searching for an image, a thumbnail of each matching image is displayed. Then when clicking on a thumbnail, the image is displayed in a frame at the top of the page and the website on which that image was found is displayed in a frame below it, making it easier to see from where the image is coming.

Google Image Ripper: The Google Image Ripper is like Google Images, but shows full images instead of thumbnails.

The largest search engine and related internet search services provider eases many business patterns. Including the way they handle their logos and brands.
Note: Most big brand owners protect their brands in very traditional ways. Google is no different. As a very fundamental promotion differentiation though Google would allow and practice themselves rather creative approaches to their existing brand.

Google Mac Widgets
Widgets: Widgets are mini-applications that you download and install into Dashboard to add new functionality.
In true Google fashion, the Mac versions are always a tad behind the PC ones.

Google Orkut
Orkut is an Internet social network service run by Google and named after its creator, Google employee Orkut Büyükkökten. It claims to be designed to help users meet new friends and maintain existing relationships. Similar to Friendster and MySpace, orkut goes a step further by permitting "communities" of users. It is also invitation-only: users must be invited to join the community by someone already there.

Google Ban It's Orkut? : Most people I know hate Orkut these days. Yahoo! has blown Google away with its 360! product. But does Google hate its own Orkut also? According to a Search Engine Roundtable Forum thread named Have Google Banned Orkut? it seems as if Google has delisted Orkut from its index. Try a simply search on orkut or even on www.orkut.com or a site command query all results show nothing for orkut.com. It is not a simple case of the robots.txt file disallowing. Yahoo! has indexed a whopping 25,788 pages of the site and has ranked it number one for its name at yahoo search, so it makes you wonder.

Google Ride Finder
Google Ride Finder is a service provided by Google which allows users to find a taxi, limousine or shuttle using real time position of vehicles. Just enter a zip code, the name of a city or even a specific address. You will get a map showing the companies and where their vehicles are located. Ride Finder uses the Google Maps interface and cooperation with any car service that wishes to participate. But the biggest drawback of Google ride finder is that only a few countries have been mapped in any detail at all.

Google Scholar
Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations. Google Scholar helps you identify the most relevant research across the world of scholarly research. It's released by Google for beta-testing in November 2004.

Features of Google Scholar

• Search diverse sources from one convenient place
• Find papers, abstracts and citations
• Locate the complete paper through your library or on the web
• Learn about key papers in any area of research

Google Scholar aims to sort articles the way researchers do, weighing the full text of each article, the author, the publication in which the article appears, and how often the piece has been cited in other scholarly literature. The most relevant results will always appear on the first page.

Google Search History
In Google search history we can browse and search over our past searches, including the web pages, images, news headlines, and Froogle results we've clicked on. We can also remove items from our Search History at any time by using Google Personalized Search.

• Why Google Search History is Awesome:
• There is some form of search query clustering.
• Google Search History - In Results
• You only have to log into one Google service for the search history to be activated - and this is good, otherwise I'd always forget.

Google Sets
Google Sets is a Google service that takes related things entered by the user and tries to find other things that will fall into the same category. Google sets are a way to browse the web's implicit ontology. What you do is simple: you enter some terms which you already think of as instances of some class. Google then returns you what it thinks are the other instances of that class.

Google Site-Flavored Search
If you have a web site that deals with a specific subject, says Medicine, your visitors would naturally welcome any additional service for providing them further information on the subject. For example, a search service that produces a customized search output with a focus on the site's content will certainly benefit the visitors. Google's "Site-flavored search that uses a Google search box to deliver custom web search results'' has been developed for this purpose. To integrate this service on to your site, access the link at: http://www.google.com/services/siteflavored.html, select the relevant category/sub-category fields applicable to your site and click on the `Generate HTML' button. Now, you will get a few lines of HTML code that can be pasted on to your web page for installing a `site flavored' Google search box. If you search through this box, the initial set of results will be the ones related to the content of your site and to display these results distinctly they are preceded with small colored balls.

Google Sitemaps
Google Sitemaps is a service offered by Google to help its crawlers better index WebPages. The Google Sitemap Protocol allows you to inform search engines about URLs on your website that are available for crawling. A Sitemap is an XML file that lists the URLs for a site using the Google Sitemap Protocol. The protocol was written to be highly scalable so it can accommodate sites of any size. It also enables webmasters to include additional information about each URL. When it was last updated; how often it changes; how important it is in relation to other URLs in the site etc. so that search engines can crawl the site more intelligently. Using this protocol does not guarantee that your WebPages will be included in search indexes nor does it influence the way your pages are ranked by a search engine.

Google Talk
Google Talk is a service offered by Google for Voice over IP and instant messaging. Google Talk beta was released on August 24, 2005 and consists of both a service and a client used to connect to the service. Google Talk is a simple and free way to talk with and send instant messages to your friends. Like Gmail, Google Talk uses Google's innovative technologies to help people communicate more effectively and efficiently. Think of it as Google's approach to communications. Google Talk is easy and intuitive to use.

Google Toolbar
The Google Toolbar is probably the most famous of all toolbars, not least because of its association with the web's favorite search engine. Google Toolbar is an Internet browser toolbar available for Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox (with slightly different features). The two versions include: a Google search box (for different Google sites, the current site, or other added sites), phishing protection, feed subscription, Spell Check, Auto Link, AutoFill, translator, Page Rank display, address bar browse by name and pop-up blocker. Google Toolbar is free available on net and installs in only seconds.

The biggest drawback with the Google Toolbar is that it only searches Google. However, its extra functions have taken it beyond the scope of a regular search engine toolbar and lifted into the realms of the genuinely useful. And it does not show page rank.

Google Transit
Google Transit is a beta service first offered by Google in December 2005 to access public transit schedules, routes, and plan trips using public transportation options. As of May 2006, the service only includes schedule and route data for Portland, Oregon in the USA. According to the FAQ, Google expects this service to expand to many US and international cities. The service calculates route, transit time, and cost, and can compare the trip to one using a car.

Google University Search
We can search literally hundreds of different universities with Google University Search. It enables you to narrow your search to a specific school website. Try it for things like admissions information, course schedules, or alumni news. This service is free for use in educational institutions, allowing users to search a specific subsection of Google's search index.

Google Video
It is a free Google service that allows anyone to upload video clips to Google's web servers as well as make their own media available free of charge or commercially through the Google Video Store. Users can search and play videos directly from Google Video, as well as download video files and remotely embed them on their WebPages. Google Video still in beta version and it is targeted towards offering a large archive of freely searchable videos. Google Video offers free services and commercial videos. Google Video initially only available in the United States, over time it has become available to users in more countries and can now be accessed from many other countries, including France and Germany.

Google Video claims to be 'the world's first open online video marketplace' and clearly their money is made on what you pay to download. Google Video allows the regular public to upload their videos for the world to see; a facility that has probably been offered before by other sites, but the difference with Google is the name. Google has become a worldwide household name and, sad as it is to recognize another huge company taking monopoly of the market again, therefore it attracts submissions from all over the world.

Google Web Accelerator
Google Web Accelerator is an application that uses the power of Google's global computer network to make web pages load faster. Google Web Accelerator is feely available on net and easy to use; all you have to do is download and install it, and from then on many web pages will automatically load faster than before. The Google Web Accelerator, released on May 4, 2005 and works with both Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer on Windows XP machines.

Google Web Accelerator uses various strategies to make your web pages load faster, including:

• Sending your page requests through Google machines dedicated to handling Google Web Accelerator traffic.
• Storing copies of frequently looked at pages to make them quickly accessible.
• Downloading only the updates if a web page has changed slightly since you last viewed it.
• Prefetching certain pages onto your computer in advance.
• Managing your Internet connection to reduce delays.
• Compressing data before sending it to your computer.
• When the Web Accelerator was taken offline only six days after its original introduction, it was suspected to be in reaction to the security concerns.

Google Web API
The Google Web API (or Google Web Services) is Google's public interface for registered developers. Using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), a programmer can write services for search and data mining that rely on Google's results. Also, web surfers can view cached pages and make suggestions for better spelling. In other word we can say that Google Web API gives developers the ability to open a pipe between their apps and Google's amazingly comprehensive index of the Web. Although the API doesn't give you access to everything that Google offers via a browser, and it's still in beta, its features give you the power to write some cool and maybe even useful applications.

Writely is a web-based word processor currently in beta, and soon to be integrated into Google's suite of web applications (following a 2006 acquisition). It can be used as a collaborative text editing suite, and features access controls. Writely's user interface is a WYSIWYG word processor that appears within a web browser. Menus, keyboard shortcuts, and dialogue boxes show up in a way similar to what you would expect on a GUI-driven word processor, such as Microsoft Word.
Writely is, simply put, a word processor embedded into a Web browser. It's still in a nascent beta form and is no longer freely distributed.

Google Zeitgeist
Google uses the information it gathers by tracking search results to compile a list of the most frequent search queries. Google then summarizes weekly, monthly, and yearly statistics to the public through a service called Zeitgeist. Google claims, though, that the data used to compile the reports is completely anonymous.
