The brilliant search engine itself...

Google Maps - [URL]http://www.google.com/maps[/URL]
Google Videos - [URL]http://video.google.com/[/URL]

Granted, the these two do only really reflect better in America, but the concepts are really really cool. Check out the maps feature - you can even view satallite images of the places you look for, it's insane!

Brilliant new email service, over 2GB of storage.

Pretty cool desktop application, 10x better then the crap you get with Windows

Excellent if you are looking for snippets of information, especially for things computing related, there is a lot of stuff out there.

Cool shopping thing.

It's amazing to be honest, I remember when google was just a wee search engine, now its a completely different empire in itself.

Bets on when GoogleOS comes out then?

The Google Mini looks better than the Search Appliance, which is basically a cheese box.

It's amazing how many subproducts Google have managed to spawn out from what is basically a search function.

Google maps isn't working properly yet. Just tried to find my hometown, and was greeted by a confused mish-mash of distorted blocks when on the higher zoom levels.

UK Google Maps is now up and running... Let the stalking begin!;)

I'm...amazed! That is simply awesome.

Because me and my girfriend live so close I can actually get our houses on the same screen!

Its a shame there is no satalite imaging for the UK one (...yet)

Still, cool things like this can happen when you get bored and spend your days looking for stuff: -

OmG its area 51!!!!!! etc etc

Ahaha, apart from my house, I tried "Area 51, Nevada, USA"

Surprisingly, a lot of the stuff isn't blurred out, I've just been looking at this Area 51 lark on google maps and there is some quite interesting stuff you can look at before the filter kicks in and says you cannot see that far in.

Aw, it didn't understand "He-man's house"

The White House looks amazing though. What's that big needle thing called? Cenotaph?
