Great GOOGLEy-moogley!
It seems to me that Google just keeps spitting out Internet-y goodness at every turn. Even their beta versions of things seem great! They consistently produce utilities and apps that are resoundingly useful and well, just neato.
Who wouldn’t love Google Maps, Froogle, Google Language Tools, Google Gmail, and now Google Talk (new!)
I, for one, WELCOME our new Google Overlords!
Yeah, there are some who are wary and critical of Google. “Feh!” I say. Soon enough they will change their name to Cyberdyne Systems Corporation, but nobody will notice since they are too busy using those great Google apps. Then they’ll launch SkyNet, and none of us will be around to worry about it anymore, because the Terminators will arrive. (Los Angeles woman Sarah Connor could not be reached for comment.)
So, which is YOUR favorite Google feature/app?

GoogleX, or, a DHTML toolbar, very much like the OS X dock, that can be used in web sites.
It was removed because, of course, apple bitched. But a google search (ha!) for GoogleX will turn up a working version of it in no time.

While we’re on the subject, does everybody here (who cares to…) know about using Xmail to use your Gmail as on online hard drive?
See here: Xmail
You can even “fling” files to other Gmail/Xmail users, which is darn spiffy.

Well, I have to say that my favorite right now has to be Google Earth and Google Maps. Google Earth to see how New Orleans USED to look and Google Maps because Mapquest has gotten “left” and “right” confused too many times for me lately sending me WAY off course.
ps, I’m happy to hear that you are safe, Miltor!
