Good times!

We've got several tools that perform the same basic functionality for Italy - find businesses, show maps, draw routes. But this does all those things at the same time, in a more intuitive way. I hope it lands on Europe sooner than later!

My brother-in-law sent us this earlier and I've been playing around with it a bit. In the word(s) of Napolean Dynamite, "Sweet!"

It's not quite so cool on dialup, but it is good. I'd love to play with it on a good connection!

that's the coolest thing since sliced bread. And sliced bread is way cool.

BTW, you can also search for things like 'hospital' which is helpful.


Speaking of Starbucks...
I love that scene in Shrek 2 where the people run out of the Starbucks across the street to the other Starbucks! Classic.

Gee, I didn't know Google could look into my bedroom window...

OMG!

Google 1, Yahoo 0. Google may steal me as a portal site yet....

Oh, Google sold me a _long_ time ago.

Lots of options like in http://www.google.com/help/cheatsheet.html
It's a dictionary too! A really good one! And a calculator!
Try typing:
speed of light in furlongs per minute
Or:
speed of sound in yards per hour
Or for something more conventional:
quarts in 2.5 gallons
I used it today because I needed to know
63418 centimeters in feet

I had to use it once to find:
radius of Earth in meters
for a Physics problem I was working.
