Google’s co-founder, Sergey Brin, launched a personal blog at too.blogspot.com . "While Google is a play on googol, too is a play on the much smaller number - two. It also means in addition, as this blog reflects my life outside of work," explains Sergey Brin.

Google Chrome has been released and you can now finally try it. Developed in the past two years, the browser is barely noticeable after you open it. It loads faster than Internet Explorer and it has very few buttons and controls. In fact, Chrome is an ironic name: Google wanted to create a browser that has a minimal chrome. The browser replicates the simplicity of Google's homepage that hides the complexity of the search engine. Even if it's just a beta, Chrome already supports 43 languages...

New ways to view search results: using specialized snippets, on a timeline or on a map. You can also access this feature without joining the experiment, using the...

Krugle also has a search engine for tech articles and documentations. Another great utility from Krugle is that you can search on specific code features such as function calls...

It took me long enough, but finally I'm using Google Apps For Domains . I've started using their free service (2 GB Email. with your own domain name) and have moved all of my current emailing aliases into that email service. As you probably know, the spam filtering is awesome and the search capabilities are, well, Googlishious. No more need to pay for hosting or spam filtering! I like the email web interface but do not forget: I can access my emails with pop3 from outlook, so no problem getting a...
Google docs looks amazing! Navigation The new home page has a sidebar that lets you filter the documents by tag (renamed to folder in the interface), by type or by collaborator.

The folders can now have descriptions and you can send a document to a folder by using drag and drop! Sorting Google removed the option to sort the files by name or author, so the only available sort option is by...
