Google Reader
Google Reader is a feed reader, or "news aggregator",
capable of reading Atom and RSS feeds, launched by Google on October
7, 2005. It is accessed through a web browser and features an interface
similar to Gmail. Google Reader makes it easier to keep up with
your ever-expanding reading list of content from across the web.

Google Related Links
Google has a new publisher oriented offering in Google Related Links,
which is a text box that can be added to your site and suggests
similar searches & news to the content on your web page. Google
Related Links use the power of Google to automatically bring fresh,
dynamic and interesting content links to any website.
The Google Related Links tool (which does not appear to be in
BETA) is now available via Google Labs to publishers who are interested
in adding it to their site. Unlike Google AdSense contextual ads
and search boxes, publishers are not currently paid for placing
Google Related Links on their sites nor will publishers receive
a percentage of the AdWords search revenue Google collects from
the referred search traffic.

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.
