More New "Stuff" From Google

[gprice]

Another day and something new from Google. It never seems to stop or slow 
down.

Today the folks at the Googleplex introduced a page of "experimental" toys 
for all of us to demo.

Welcome to Google Labs!
A new site that's a "playground" for Google technologies in development. 
Have fun!
http://labs.google.com/


The site now offers demos of the following concepts:
1) Google Glossary
Find acronyms, new words, etc.

2) Google Sets
"automatically creates related lists of items"

3) Google by Phone
"navigate search results quickly and easily using only
a keyboard."

4) Google Keyboard Shortcuts

Also: Word From Googleplex that a few enhancements to the Google Toolbar 
are also available. You can find them by going to "Toolbar Options" from 
the Toolbar pull-down menu. Then, look for the experimental features link. 
I needed to re-install the toolbar to access the experimental features.
The 'Experimental Features" are:
- Combined Search button: providing quick and easy access to all Google 
search services from one, compact button.
****Browser control: suppresses pop-up windows that are triggered when 
users leave a web site.
- Navigation: enabling users to quickly navigate between websites listed in 
a Google search results page, using intuitive Next and Previous buttons.

cheers,
