List of all Google Services
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.
