Bloggin it up

Google on World Domination (or at least internet domination)

Don't be evil. You have to love that informal corporate motto.
Putting out amazing products for free is definitely not evil.

First they had the Google search, and it was good (really good).

Afterwards there is Gmail, Gmail starts with it's unheard of 1G of e-mail storage.
Now at 2.692 GB and climbing.
Of course everyone reading already has a Gmail account.

Then Picasa and Hello, (acquired by Google I think), the best photo software ever.
Also there is Blogger.com (Google owns blogger, I am sure you knew)

They also have Google talk, that seems to be a little slow in catching on. I think MSN messenger is too dominant in the IM world to be that easily overthrown.
Today I noticed my Gmail account will keep a historical record of your audio conversations through Google talk, and soon will allow voice chat from the Gmail page!!?

Yesterday I found Google Reader, I was at home looking for a sufficient windoze alternative to akregator, (below) I found a free shareware one, but it didn't quite cut it, it did what I wanted but the program itself was a large step down from what I am used to. Then for some reason I happen by the official Blogger Buzz, and they have an article that links to a feed reader.
Google feed reader (Beta),!!

This program does almost everything I am looking for. I will have to live without the ability to get an atom feed from my Gmail account, and the ability to get notifications on new articles, just to have that cool web interface, and the ability for it to track my read articles wherever I go.

It beats reading through 8+ blogs +Slashdot to see who has new content.
(FYI, If your trying it out Palmer's feed is busted, you have to browse to the page the old fashioned way.)
Now I am looking at the Google Labs, and Google Services/Tools.
Google Suggest looks cool...

Hmm, this originally was a post about just about the Google feed reader.... it got a little carried away.
