Google seems to be in overdrive to release products. I am a sucker for Google products, so it is no surprise that I have been an 'early adapter' (AKA guinea pig) for a number of their products. I have been impressed with calendar, spreadsheet, page creator, firefox add-ons, Googleearth4.0 for Linux in the last couple of months. Gmail and Google have always been very useful. The only Google prodct that seemed to be a bad idea was the Firefox browser sync. Every time you start your browser, it first contacts Google's website and restores some information like bookmarks, saved sessions, etc. If you are on a slower connection, you need to wait for a good part of a minute for the browser to start. Browser sync also lets you store passwords, but that is a scary thing to do. I like the fact that they are coming out with Linux versions of their softwares. I tried Picasa for Linux. It runs through WINE, so it is not that good.
