Google Earth Beta 4

The latest update from Google (they are doing a bunch of stuff right now!) Earth is a great update to an already very popular program. Google Earth is what you see on almost every news program when they zoom into some remote part of the world. You can use this to find you city or even your house! Word is that 30% of the world can know locate there home with this program!

Thumbstacks, Online Presentation Tool


Thumbstacks is an online replacement for PowerPoint or any other presentation tools. It allows users to build online presentations and share them by sending them a link. Users who are hooked to PPT's flashy transitions and animations might balk at this red headed step child but for an online choice that works wherever you are....not too bad. I would like to see them add the ability to upload PPT files. Perhaps after Google acquires them...Who needs Micro$oft Office? With all the online tools available, one could save a lot of money by using these handy tools.

Google Spreadsheets

Google now has an online spreadsheet program. Some of the features include, collabrative editing in real time, the ability to upload any spreadsheet from Excel or files in csv(comma seperated values) . Download files in .xls (Excel) or the HTML to insert into the web. Google has already purchased Writely and now the quesiton is will they purchase Thumbstacks or develop their own online presentation tool..hmmmmmm

Picasa Web

Google has asserted itself into the online photo war with the newest edition of Picasa. Google originally purchased Picasa and released it free to the public and now has added an online version. PC users will need to upgrade their existing Picasa software to the latest version and Mac users....you have iPhoto. Take heart, you too can use Picase Web but just through the web interface.
