Google’s Impressively Free Offerings
Spend a little time on Google.com and it is hard not to notice they seem to have a product for everything. Of their vast product line, I’m utilizing these on a regular basis:
- GMail - Free Email
- Google Calendar - Free Calendar
- Google Reader - RSS Reader
- Google Analytics - Web statistics
- Google Products - formerly Froogle
- Google Documents - Online Office/Productivity Tools
- Google Maps - user friendly mapping site
- [updated] YouTube - Online video sharing
- [updated] Picasa Web - Online photo sharing
I’m not even scratching the surface on the great tools this company is offering. For anyone looking to get their feet wet in the World Wide Web, this is a good place to start.
[update] I’d like to thank Imelda for reminding me of the programs I missed.

How about Google Video or You Tube? Or Picasa?
