Google - [URL]http://www.google.com[/URL]

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.

Google Desktop Search - [URL]http://desktop.google.com/[/URL]

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?

I've found Sea World, I can't find Disney anywhere though! I think it might be in that block of 'we haven't got these photos' squares...

Tried searching for 'Nevada' and it brought up things in Kansas.

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

Your 3 days too late!;)

Between myself and Monkey, your dealing with Google Map 'hores!;)

Pwned indeed

It's so addictive.

One question though: why did those dastardly terrorists go for the Pentagon, when the White House was so near? Sure it's significant in terms of military, but that dome on the White House would look awesome with a plane caving it in.

Awesome in a tragic way, of course.

When I got to this point I was going to say "wouldn't it be funny if you zoomed out on Disneyland and there as a big Mickey Mouse"...
