- News – pulled in from thousands of sources all over the globe and, except in very unusual circumstances, no human intervention to determine importance.
- Calculator – for the mathphobic and the geekheads, calculations from the simple to the sublime.
- Stock Quotes – go to the main page, type in a ticker symbol (say, MSFT), and click the I’m Feeling Lucky button and you go straight to the Yahoo! Finance Page for that stock.
- Dictionary and Spell Checker
- Phone Book – type in your phone number and see what comes back!
- Street Maps – where do you want to go today?
- Even machine translation of web pages and plain text.
- Finally, of course, Google also owns Blogger, used to publish this message for you.
[Note: New version of Blogger, same old crappy handling of lists in posts.]
