Google's Four-Pack of New Stuff
With a "Yes, we are still all about search" title Google announces four new products that are supposed to "enhance and improve the search experience for our users." Try them out to see if you agree.
- Google Co-op is another foray into social networking and collaborative searching.
- Google Desktop 4 is yet another update to their desktop search with an emphasis on many new "Google Gadgets."
- Google Notebook (which is not even in beta yet -- it is due out next week) sounds like another bookmarking and clipping application similar to many others out there.
- Google Trends is initially the
most interesting to me. It lets users search on a selection of Google search
queries. You can compare search queries (separate them with a comma) or just
see a graph of the search volume on a single query. Unusual queries give a "do
not have enough search volume to show graphs" response.
