Google is on fire.

Ok, so they've got the great search engine everyone uses.

  • Then they added great image searching in Google Image Search.


  • They've got the only successful, non-obtrusive advertising in Google Adsense.


  • They created Google Local. Find stuff near your house.


  • A free 3d city explorer, Google Earth.


  • They've got a free blogging network, Google Blogger, with zero ads! (this blog is hosted by Blogger)


  • They've got a free image hosting service, allowing you to put your pictures online for free, in Google Picasa.


  • They created the coolest new web application seen in years, Google Maps, which includes satellite photos of every square piece of land on the earth, heck, here's my house (I'm right next to that golf course, the river is visible from my house). Or other cool finds. Or even Jesus' face! ;-)


  • They created a revolutionary web mail service, Google Gmail. It's lighter, cleaner, and easier to use than Outlook. It's got more free storage than Yahoo & Hotmail (currently, 2523.790090 MegaBytes, and counting. Seriously, there's a counter on the front page of Gmail that continues to rise by the second. How cool is that?). It stores your emails in groupings of conversations, not crappy RE and FW. Really, you guys need to use this. Currently, it's invitation only, but if any of you want to try it out, reply in the comments and I'll hook you up.


  • And as of tonight, August 23rd, 2005, they've announced a new instant messenger, Google Talk. I'm there as judahgabriel at gmail dot com. Hope to see some of you online!


Oh, and don't forget the Moon. Not only does Google has a base on the moon ;-), but yes, Google has mapped the moon as well, go see it for yourself. Be careful though, zooming in too far might prove shocking!
