[August 2005] Recent Google Launches

[intelliot]

Personalized Homepage
We've added some new features to the way you can personalize your
Google homepage. Now there's a section for bookmarks, as well as a way
to add custom sections with the content you want from across the web.
Note that you must be signed in to your Google Account to create and
use your personalized homepage.

Google Toolbar for Firefox
The Toolbar is kind of the "Swiss Army knife" for computing, making it
easy to search and do other tasks directly from your browser. You can
check spelling, autofill web forms, translate English words into other
languages, and lots more. Now the Google Toolbar is available for the
Firefox browser. (It's already out for Internet Explorer.)

Google Maps Hybrid Mode
We've got Maps, we've got Earth, and now we've got a way to view
satellite images with map data. It's the "Hybrid" mode. Very handy for
seeing the lay of the land with, for example, street names on top. Look
in the upper right hand corner of the map image to switch your view
from Map to Satellite to Hybrid (and back again).

Google Groups Alerts
"Alerts" are a great way to inform you when keywords you have selected
appear in news stories, web search results, and now, are mentioned
within Google Groups topics. If you're tracking several subjects, this
is far easier than reading through a (possible) boatload of messages.
Just sign up to track Alerts of interest to you. There's a pull-down
menu under "Type" where you choose among News, Web, or Groups
notifications. And you can choose to receive Alerts daily, weekly, or
as they happen.
