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!
Gmail - [URL]http://www.gmail.com[/URL]
Brilliant new email service, over 2GB of storage.
Google Desktop Search - [URL]http://desktop.google.com/[/URL]
Pretty cool desktop application, 10x better then the crap you get with Windows
Google Groups - [URL]http://groups-beta.google.com/[/URL]
Excellent if you are looking for snippets of information, especially for things computing related, there is a lot of stuff out there.
Froogle - [URL]http://www.google.co.uk/frghp?hl=en&tab=wf&q=[/URL]
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?

Ideally they should combine Maps with Froogle and Movies so you can locate your nearest porn shop and see previews of thef films before finding them cheaper elsewhere!;)

Genius!
Previews would be enough, but having the convienience of the shop would be great as a backup.

I must confess I dont see what all the fuss is about? Quite a few sites have been offering map facilities like google now have for many years. So google jumped on the bandwagon, whats the big deal?
Dunno, but it's pretty cool none-the-less.

I think its the way Google have made it is what stands out, especially with the drop shadows on location baloons etc and how you can drag it around.

Hello, my name is monkey_man, and I'm a google maps addict.
Anyone else feel like they know North America like the back of their hand?
Coolest places/thigns I've seen so far:
New York - yellow taxis on the streets, place where the twin towers were and the construction yard that's there now.
Hawaii! Pearl Harbor (damn American spelling), battleships! 3-masted sailing ships, speedboats. You can actually make people out on the beaches because the shadow on the sand makes them look a bit bigger.
LAX - world's biggest airport, loads and loads of planes on the runways. Massive carpark.
JFK Airport. Not quite as big, but still cool!
Looking for Cape Canaveral at the moment, don't think I'm spelling it right.
EDIT: Huzzah - Kennedy Space Center, Florida! 2 massive launch pads that aim out towards the sea...just in case.

How could you miss that, it takes up about 40% of Florida!;)

The Pentagon
Chiane Mountain
Niagra Falls
Alcatraz
Queen Mary
Redmond

Where's the Pentagon in relation to the White House? That's all I can find :(
Ah, and where's Mount Rushmore?

Follow the map to the left topwards the Cenotaph (down the straight looking bit) and the pentagon is just across the river (left and slightly down). Took me ages to find it, had to use a photo fromn the pentagon website to find a reference point. It's just up and to the right of the airport.
