Ok, so before you start making accusations, let me state that this blog represents the opinions of me<\/em>, not my employer. My employer did not encourage me to write this post; I’m writing it out of honest enthusiasm for my company. You can accuse me of imbibing Kool-Aid, but if you know me, I’m not really that sort of person. I’ve definitely worked at companies before where I have not been particularly enthusiastic or proud of the products. Google’s corporate mission, though (“organize all information, make it accessible and useful”) really excites me. There are so many amazing products we have, and they just keep multiplying. Whenever I’m talking with family and friends about working at Google, they’re inevitably surprised by some service I mention: “So I was using Google [blah]…” … “What? I didn’t know Google had [blah]!”<\/p>\n

So, because so many family\/friends read this blog, this my opportunity to raise awareness about cool Google services you should be using, but might not have known about. The general theme here is that Google gives you the opportunity to put your entire ‘digital life’ — any information your produce\/share\/consume with anyone else — into their “cloud” of infrastructure, so that it’s always available from any computer you sit at.<\/p>\n

Here’s a list of services I use all the time.<\/p>\n
