Google This Week

We’ve done it before, now we’re doing it again. Sometimes there are several things happening at the same time in the world of Google that a post on one single topic won’t cut it.

So what’s new?

Gmail “reply by chat” – Gmail chat is getting better everyday. Each time you want to send a reply to or forward an email, you also have the option of replying via chat if the user is online. This is great if you want a more instant response.

Google toolbar – The enhanced search box in the latest version of toolbar will also bring up relevant sites that you’ve already bookmarked. This is great for people who have cluttered bookmark folders. This works with both Firefox and IE.

Google reader – You can now read your RSS feeds from any WAP-enabled phone. Okay, this isn’t really that new, but we thought it would be interesting.

Google maps – Good news, mates! Aussie and Kiwi maps area available for your enjoyment!

Google has been busy.
