Google's new toys

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the they-are-excellent! dept.

Google labs just released for your pleasure, some new toys to play with. The first is Google's Viewer, just type a few words to see a fully working preview of the web site. Another new idea: Google's Webquotes, View search results with quotes about them from other sites, and the last one is Google's Froogle, which aims to be the world's largest catalog.

    I agree with you completely, GOOGLE is detrimenting their own usefulness by doing this.

    The fact that they used to be a solid tool instead of a community is the reason so many people like to use it. It was sharp, easy to swing, and hard to break.

    Why add bells and whistles to a hammer? I sure as hell don't use hammers with lights built into them, automatic nail loaders, etc..

    Some things are best kept simple, GOOGLE would be one of them.
