Google Releases GDS 2.0

Posted by Hemos on from the transmorigying-data-services dept.

FansofTech writes "Google (now $4bn richer) has released v2.0 of Google Desktop. Many new features are introduced including improved Outlook filtering, Gmail indexing, and the feature which is most likely to cause the largest stir...a new Sidebar which displays RSS feeds, a Gmail inbox, news, scratch pad and more. Plug-ins for the new Sidebar are also available including a to-do list, clock, and more. As one blogger pointed out this morning...the release of Google Desktop 2.0 is beginning to take shape as a browser in itself as the need for a Firefox or IE is almost eliminated."

    It's quite sad that we actually acknowledge these people as "bloggers" like it's a respected term. It's not a true form of nerd to be a blogger. More than 85% of them are people with a $300 eMachine running Windows ME. It's just sad.

    It is a nice thing the bar, I like widgets (Konfabulator or native in Tiger) from OS-X with all their possibilities better though than a single bar.
