my life, sponsored by Google

I don't think I use a particularly high number of Google services, but let's list them for fun.

- Google search engine, including Google Images, Google Scholar, Google Patents, Google Product search (aka Froogle)
- Gmail
- Google Talk
- Google Maps (which lets you make your own map with your own markers and send them...a cute way of sharing a new place you've been to!)
- Google Documents (shared document editing...made the senior project quite pleasant actually)
- Google Calendar (once again, shared calendars!)
- Google Analytics (my officemate told me about its website-tracker skillz)
- iGoogle (to check my mail, the woot sites, and get some news feeds)
- Google Groups - home of some panlists I'm on...two of which are actually used
- Google Translate
- Google Checkout (not really used much)

- other things eaten by Google: Blogger, Picasa, Youtube (ya rly)

I do NOT yet use (because I'm afraid of it):
- Google Health

How many do you use? Here's a somewhat complete listing.


*edit
So here's a picture of how Apple is trying to also take over the world, but using Google nonetheless. It's a free poster that was given out at the grand opening of the 14th st Apple Store in NYC. Yeah, that's 63 iPhones displaying a map of lower Manhattan together.
