Google Local, Definitions, & Registrar

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday February 3, 2005 @04:18AM from the whole-lotta-the-g-stuff dept.

A few Google bits in the bin this morning starting with Philipp Lenssen writes "Google Local has now moved to the Google homepage. The service, while still in beta, has been around for quite a while as one of many Google tools in the Google labs." Mr. Anonymous noted that "In the past, when you clicked the [definition] link after a Google search, you'd be taken to the Dictionary.com page for the word. Now, Google has jumped aboard GuruNet's Answers.com, which not only provides definitions, but encyclopedia articles, etymology, medical defnitions, legal definitions, and word translations all on one page." And lastly, several folks noted that Google has moved into the Domain Registrar Biz which we mentioned monday.

google betas... by dAzED1 · 2005-02-03 04:25 · Score: 5, Interesting

there's another google beta product called "gmail."

I, and many other folks, recently got set to having 50 invites left. While before it was already close to true that anyone that wanted one could find one, it is now REALLY true.

Seems their "beta" stuff works better than the first, or even second revision of released code from some other company...
