The viral videos you should've seen by now unless you have been in a cave for the past 5 years.

Google Buzz!

Google Buzz is essentially Google's version of Twitter, where a person can keep the people who care about them updated on what they are currently doing.  For more on this service, check out this YouTube video.

Google Chrome for Mac (beta) finally released!

Google has finally released Chrome for Mac users that doesn't take up 99% of your computers ram anymore!  So far I have liked the easy customization of themes for the browser, but there are definitely some bugs, however that is expected because it is still in beta testing.  Try it out with the free download here: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html

Google Launches New Public DNS Server To Try And Speed Up The Web!

Google has released it's own public DNS (Domain Name Switching) server that is an attempt to speed up the web.  I have just configured my network to it and it seems faster.  Try it at your own risk, but here's instructions how to and why you would want to switch your DNS server.  Link: Google DNS

Google Voice!

Voice is Google's new innovative tool to help people better manage the people who are calling and sorting voicemails by who is calling.  I had to wait a long time for an invite to this and I only have a couple left, but if you would like one let me know.
Here's a video to better explain what I just tried to:

GrooveShark!

GrooveShark

There is a new way to get music.  I know you are all probably used to searching for/finding music, and downloading it (hopefully legally) as it chips away at your sacred wallet width.  Frustrating.  Then you have a problem, though.  You have to wait for the song to FINISH DOWNLOADING BEFORE YOU CAN LISTEN TO IT!  Such a pain.  That song better be freakin awesome right?  You went through all this trouble! 
No longer.  The new website http://listen.grooveshark.com is unique in that it allows users to upload songs from their personal library, search the libraries and playlists of other users, then when they find the song(s) they are looking for they can stream and listen to it right then and there.  It is a lot like iTunes in that the playlist list is on the left, while the list of songs is in the middle.  It is virtually like downloading iTunes or Songbird to your computer, but then already having every song you can think of and more!  10 out of 10 from this guy, I use this website on a daily, no hourly, basis when studying, showering or just relaxing.

Google Wave!

There have been many questions lately about Google Wave.  It is a very neat collaboration tool to stay in touch with friends that has been released in beta by Google to people who want to test it and send feedback.  I have posted a video which tells of the advantages of Google Wave also.  If you would like an invite, please follow my blog and send me an email so I can get an invite sent to you as soon as possible.  Thanks, and as Google says, "Happy Waving!"  Heres a link that explains the possibilities of Google Wave: http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/the-idiot-s-guide-to-google-wave-655127
