If you want to learn a bit about it try this

Google Maps upgrade.

After a big hit from Microsoft`s bird`s eye view and the 3D maps...Google comes back with a 360 street side view. Pictures speak for themselves.

Killer App

Gmail Upgrade

I`ve been using Gmail for a while now and whenever I needed to send a big attachment I just used a dedicated service like yousendit.com . Now with a 20 MB limit I will probably still use the same service as it allows me to transfer a lot more...and also the fact that other e-mail users might not get my e-mail because of the attachment size...
Overall a good upgrade but not such a big help..

Blizzard

Hell, It`s about time.

Google released a new website especially for webmasters. The services are not new but it`s a nice thing to have all the tools in one place. A good page to bookmark. Happy Surfing!

Free website contet - Why,when,where

Well...as you already know nothing is really free...there is something that you shoud do in order to get that Free something...and when talking about free website content what you give is usually a link to the site that provided the "free content"..In other cases you povide even a banner but..it`s deffinatly not free..Big sites pay for this kind of publicity this sites get it for free...from you...
Why would you ever use free content...well...because you are not always able to write good new articles every day and your visitors get bored when seeing the same article on the front page day after day...so this is a really good alternative. Also an article provides real content to your page that will be indexed by the search engines and also you may be able to put more ads on your site...though adsense for example will notice that the same article is located on more than one website and the ads revenue will be a lot smaller...But there is a solution to this too: ad your own comments after/before the article.
On the next posts I will add some free content and will also provide the links to websites that provide them. Happy blogging!

Writely

This is a blog entry published through the Writely word processing service form Google. It`s a really nitfty tool and can really help when you don`t have Microsoft Word arround, though it`t not a real competitor just like Google`s spreadsheet is not a real competitor for Excel. You can do most of the basic stuff you can do with Word and the best part is that you can colaborate over the net. Also blog posting works fine and it can handle a lot of blog hosts. Again google chalanges Office Live from Microsoft. And did quite a nice job too. The fun part is that this web application is built using ASP.net :) Happy blogging.

Blog day
