Google's released 4 new search related products as mentioned in this article in InformationWeek. QUOTE Google today introduced four new search products and promised to operate with more transparency. Before a few dozen journalists from around the world gathered for Google Press Day 2006, company executives offered a broad overview of the search giant's future direction, reiterated its focus on search, and spoke of plans to open up. Ironically, the wireless network that Google had set up for guests was down at the time. "The Google story is getting more complicated and more complex every day," said Elliot Schrage, Google's VP of global communications. "There are many, many untold Google stories." Though Shrage didn't elaborate, it's clear Google is in the middle of a great number of stories: from federal subpoenas for search queries to cooperation with Chinese authorities to other controversial issues that Google, by virtue of its size and success, can no longer avoid. The lyrical refrain of the pre-event techno music asked bluntly, "Are you ready for love?" Google clearly is. "We're committed to a much more transparent way of working with you all," CEO Eric Schmidt said. For Google, transparency is important not just to appease the press, but, as Schrage put it, "to avoid confusing the marketplace." Google's success depends increasingly on business partners working to extend the Google search platform into high-value markets, and it has to keep its partners informed. Schmidt emphasized, however, that search remains Google's primary focus. "Search is still central," he said, adding later, "We have a heavy, heavy investment in new search algorithms." To prove that point, Jonathan Rosenberg, SVP of product management, and Marissa Mayer, VP of search products and user experience, revealed four new software products to enhance the search experience: Google Co-Op, Google Desktop 4, Google Trends, and Google Notebook. Full article: http://informationweek.com/news/showArticl...cleID=187202066Out of these I already use Google Desktop - am downloading the 4th version now and giving it a shot. I checked out the Google Trends thingy: http://www.google.com/trends - it's more of a research oriented tool. Instead of performing searches - it takes your keywords and shows you a city/region/language wise charts of searches performed priorly with the same keywords.. Pretty cool tool actually  I haven't checked out the other ones yet.. more detailed review later..

Sorry, but I think NOBODY needs this. The "Google Trends" is funny, okay. But it isn't usefull. Google Sets is absolutly waste. This tool is right 20%! In 80% it shows pure Spam. And the Items are in no arrange. This Service isn't usefull in ANY case too! And it has NO quality. Google should work on its search and Maps but the other things... If anybode think, this Services are USEFULL please write an example! Greetings, Matti-Koopa

Greetings,
Matti-Koopa Firstly, Google Trends are very useful. The graphs and key data information are very helpful to online businesses, to see what products they sell are being searched for. What is Google Sets? Google produce services based on what the current market and prospected market are/will demand or request. They don't just produce things for the fun of it (unless it is the April Fool's Jokes) and they certainly don't do it without careful research. Do you really expect a company as large as Google to waste millions of investments into technologies, just to have the be 'USELESS'? Just because you can't see why they do things, doesn't mean that they are stupid. In future, I suggest you take your time when answering and make sure you think about what you are saying. P.S. Sort out your paragraph structure, your posts aren't poems, so enjambment isn't needed.

I read an Economist article that in response to the Quaero (http://www.pandia.com/sew/149-the-multimedia-search-engine-quaero-europe%E2%80%99s-answer-to-google.html) project, Google is also going to implement an image searching tool. When I say image search, I do not mean that you enter a key word and it searches for images by its image name. It actually will try to analyze the image or video and try to find out its meaning. Quite scary stuff but yet pretty interesting at the same time. Would be interesting to see how good is Google's answer to this. As with the google tools they're not bad, they're minimalistic, free and easy to use though I have to say I don't really use google desktop since I organize my files well enough and don't really want something trawling through my files all the time.

These products (except Google Desktop 4) are all meant for the business guys, so they would seem useless to some people (including me). But I still think they're good products. ms^e, you said you're going to try out Desktop 4. Do you know if it still requires you to install it in C:? I want to install it in an alternate drive instead...

It doesn't necessarily install on C: It probably installs it on whichever drive is hosting your currently running operating system. So if you are running Windows on a C: drive and you install Google Desktop, it will most likely install on C But if you install it while on Linux, on say your D: drive, it will install Google Desktop to D: (that is if it supports Linux, unlikely but its a possibility) By the way that stresses a unique point... I think if Google should try making applications that would appeal to Unix/Linux users, if they have already then correct me on this It would certainly give Google a unique popularity, being liked by both Linux and Windows users, which is a hard goal to achieve for any software company

I like the Google Trends feature, very interesting to see what's happining in the world. Somewhat it is similar to GoogleFight, which I'm sure you've heard of. However, GoogleFight gives you the number of results, whereas GoogleTrends gives you what people have been searching for more. Here's something I tried. I compared words "coldplay" and "radiohead" to see what are the results. Coldplay became popular in the year 2003, maybe a bit later, while Radiohead is an old and popular band. The graph showed me that until the second half of 2004. these two words have been google equally. However, after that, Coldplay became much more popular - which is according to its musical popularity Really good tool, but as someone already said, we, normal users, don't really need it.

Well, if you're one of those top eBay sellers or you run some other kind of merchandise-sales-store, you'd want to know what's in demand. According to a book I recently read about "how to strike it rich on eBay", high volume sellers go with the trends... therefore rendering a good use for Google Trends. My neighbor works a job, not a particularly high salary at all. However, he lives quite well because his wife is a high-volume eBay seller. So Google Trends' value doesn't apply to everyone but lots of people can use it in their everyday life.

I tried installing Google Desktop the other day but took it off. It slowed everything up. My web surfing was slower, games I have installed that I have tried to play came to almost a stand still. I really thought Google Desktop looked kinda cool when I put all the features in it. Maybe when its out of beta I will try it again. When I uninstalled it, one of the choices of why I chose to uninstall was 'because it slowed down system', so i guess it's a known problem.
