Google Chrome - This is Google's new Internet Browser. There are many features that I really like. One thing I like about Google is they think out of the box and think of ways to improve stuff in a way that truly makes sense. It just came out and it is in Beta. There are some issues that I have found so I can't use it for some of the things I do, but for the most part, I do really like it. It definitly seems to give me more real estate on the screen for the webpage and very little for the browser. Give it a try (you don't have to make it your default browser).
Google Maps By Walking/Transit - This is another feature that is still in Beta, but is worth a try...especially if you like to walk or happen to be in walking distance of something (especially useful if you are downtown). Enter your two destinations into Google Maps and then in the dropdown you have a few options: By Car, By Walking, and By Public Transit (Walking and Public Transit are the two items in beta so there could be issues). If you choose By Walking you will usually see a different route than By Car because you aren't constrained to One Ways (plus it will most likely give you the shortest distance).
Google Forms - Integrated into their Google Documents is a new feature called Forms. From here you can create a quick form for people to fill out (lots of options on how you want to create it and what features are available on the form). Once it is ready, you can send the form to whomever you want. In the email they can click on a link to open your form and fill it out. Once filled out, the data goes straight into a Google Documents Spreadsheet which tracks the data for you. You can even get a "prettier" formatted version of the results. I tried this out for the first time with my cell group the other day...now I just need to get them all to fill it out! If you have a questionare you want to give to a group of people, this may just be a slick way to do it.
