    Google software

    Just wonder how much 'software' Gogle has out there that we don't know about?

    For example, yesterday I found out about http://spreadsheets.google.com for the first time.

    Anymore people know about?

    Not exactly software, but Google Checkout has gone live - maybe PayPal might rethink their fees now?

    Http://checkout.google.com

    lets you buy stuff from online stores using a single account from google, sort of a cross between MSN passport and Amazon marketplace I think.

    Edit: Beat me to it!


    They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them.

    The next version of Picasa is under beta testing - allows photo sharing (bit like flickr). You need to sign up and then wait for an invitation though. Picasa is great for basic photo-editing though - especially like the rotation feature (it gives you a grid so that you can level the horizon)



    They are also doing a mail service for ppl who have their own domains (so you don't need to pay for a mail hosting package...

    I guess everyone knows about sketchup by now?

    Picasa is great, i use it for general viwing etc of all my photos. It's RAW processing isn't the greatest (no surprise there), but i does view them whish is good.
