Think Like Google:3

Google not only does things differently, it does different things to stay ahead of others. Google has done a set of products that are unique and puts Google ahead of its entire competitor. Some of the unique products are

Google Map: Need to know any place its location; look at Google map. In western countries map is essential to go to any place and Google has done good job in providing maps. In Toronto most of the rental sites provide Google map along with their ad. It is not only gives the map but also clear picture with Zooming. I like AJAX powered Google map which is fast clear and user friendly.

Google Book Search: Search is probable Google’s core strength. It provides Book search (so does Blog search). If I am looking for something I can figure out what are the books I should look at.

Google Code: Google is not only developing wonderful products but also it allows others to use its code API to develop faster. The details of Google code are available at http://code.google.com/. Google APIs are powerful easy to develop.

iGoogle: When at client's place I use client's webpage at my home page and when at home Google is my home page. There are many other people who use Google as their home page. Google powered by iGoogle makes page more interesting. You can add your favorite web pages to Google page.

Docs & Spreadsheets: Want to store your documents online? Google document allows storing and editing document. It allows uploading word documents in open office, RTF, HTML and downloading to your desktop as Word PDF and others.

Google Translate: In my last trip to Zurich, I used to get every letter in German. I and all my friends don't have any knowledge about German. So we have the choice to keep guessing, ask some local people or use Google translator. And most of us opted third option.
