Google - Full Power



lately it looks like Google launching new services and releasing more features almost every day!
Even this morning, I saw this new note while I was browsing for pictures:

It placed down on Google Images Search page.

The fact that Google ask their users to help and improve Google image search by tagging/labeling the pictures (again), pointing maybe to their next project that will allow the users to search images by tags/labels?! Well, you can never know with Google, all is done with a perfect secrecy.. but I do hope we'll see some of these results soon.


Yesterday Google launches new product called Goog-411. This service allows you to make local-business search accessible over the phone. To try this service, just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) from any phone. Read more about it at Mike's blog.


Earlier this week Google releases new feature in their Google Map service called My Maps. It allows you to make Google maps to your maps which mean you can personalize your map by marks your favorite places on it, draw lines and shapes to highlight paths and areas and even add your own text, photos, and videos. Of course later on you can publish your map on the web and share it with the rest of the world.


More new features coming from their Gtalk

First - Google Talk Gadget :
You can now add Google Talk to your Google Personalized Homepage. The Google Talk Gadget lets you see your contacts and chat with friends right on your homepage, and it doesn't require a download. You can even add the Google Talk Gadget to your own webpage or blog by pasting a single line of code into your site.




This one just launched - Popout support and Flickr slideshows :
Google added some new media capability to the Google Talk Gadget. In addition to viewing YouTube videos and Picasa Web Albums, you can now also watch Flickr slideshows in your chats.

Last thing is this cool little button:

You can easily add it to your own webpage or blog. (grab the code in here)

I even wrote about the Google Image Labeler here.

Google's never devoid of its creativity and what they do is really unique :)

Don't forget, they also released the Google Desktop for the Mac this week as well...I'm trying to decide if the Google 411 thing is an offensive or defensive strategy against MS...
