Yesterday I talked about Google's fabulous gadget maker which helps you personalize your iGoogle page. I don't know about you, but I've become dependent on way too many Google products... all of which make me feel like I have a virtual assistant! Practically all of Google's nifty tools and services are free, and with such a wide variety, I wonder how some people aren't obsessed like me. What's your favorite Google application? Leave all your comments below!

Searching, especially their image search.

2ok it doesnt like the heart that I made with the less than 3 thing... but I love all of googles apps!
3Just searches for me. And the Google webmaster stuff to optimize searches for websites.
4I love Google, especially the homepage/iGoogle stuff. I just read about Google Notebooks and will hopefully consolidate all my lists (yeah GTD!). I also love the business practices. Any company that has free Ben and Jerry's in their cafeteria is alright by me.
5Mostly image searches, and an occasional web search.
6I'm addicted to Google... Is that bad? LOL
7Google is seriously amazing! It makes my life so easy it's unbelievable! My google home page is so cute! (City Scape)
8I LOVE Google! I use it for everything! The only thing I'm not crazy about is calling the personalized Google homepage "iGoogle"... does EVERYTHING have to have the little 'i' in front og it????
9I use google for gmail and my personalized homepage and of course as my search engine!
10I use GoogleText! It is an absolutely amazing feature. Like if I need the number to my nearest walmart, all i have to do is text 'walmart near (my zip code)' and it will give my all the walmarts near my address including their address and numbers! I just text the message to GOOGLE (466453) It does almost everything: defines words, weather, etc. And it doesn't cost extra, like $1 a text or anything like that! it's just a regular standard text rate. Just go here: http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mobile/sms/ that will show you what google can do for you! THis changed my life! Hope it changes yours too!
11I have used google for all of the above, but I use google to search EVERYTHING every single day. It's awesome.
12Ok- I am an addict too.
I love Google 411. Call an 800 number, get your info texted to your phone. Awesome. Free.
But my absolute favorite is Picasa. It integrates in with Picasa Web on the Photos link from your Gmail account. Edit your photo, click Upload to Web Album, and pick which album you want to upload it to, or build a new one, and voila! Instant album your friends don't have to sign up for anything to see. Plus, you simply can't beat it for a free photo editor.
I love Docs & Spreadsheets. It's so nice to be able to get info from a computer anywhere.
I wish they would purchase zoho.com. It's probably the best google competitor out there. They have free programs to build webforms, CRM tools, project management, you name it. A lot of it is redundant to Google, but a lot of it is probably where the big G is headed. Check it out if you haven't already seen it.
13Virtually everything!

Within Google.com search you can do the following
link:www.geeksugar.com - tells you which sites are linking to geeksugar.com (a little more accurate in yahoo, though)
site:www.geeksugar.com - tells you which pages on your site have been indexed by Google - if you have pages in the "omitted results" (aka supplemental index) - then you have what is called duplicate content issues - which can be addressed by seo (aka search engine optimization) techniques
15If you need to know about anything you can simply google it
16I use Google primarily for its searches (general searches, video) and Google maps. I have my own domain and I use Firefox to read my mail from that, so I have little use for my Gmail account.
17search, maps, Google Earth and of course gmail.
18Practically everything that is listed there, I use.
19For the longest time, I held out from using Google - not sure why. But when a friend of mine who works for Google sent me a Gmail invite when it was first introduced several years ago, I was instantly converted. My life is run by Google (or, at least my email, calendar, photo organization, mapping ability, searching.... so yeah, basically, my life!).
20I rarely use maps but all the other stuff indeed.
21I love Google. I;m always searching for something and their results are best.
