Google continues to produce helpful tools. desktop.google.com is a very helpful way to google your desktop, searching through word docs, emails, etc.
Even someone as directionally challenged as I am no longer has an excuse for getting lost, now that there is maps.google.com. (They also have satellite imagery. So, for example, if you want to see where I go to church, click here.)
News.google.com is a nice way to collect news articles from various sources.
Now they have also added a nice web portal, where you can have news, movies, driving directions, search engine, and more.
