Google software and services

Peter Lee

 

 

Unconsciously, Google has gone through his tenth year, and he is still very young. Without knowing it, Google's software and services have blossomed everywhere, google is always synonymous with search.

 

Tools:

Google Earth

This product from the Google lab is indeed powerful, and everyone was shocked from its launch. This is an excellent idea and an excellent experience.

 

Picasa

Free image management software with rich features. It is indeed very powerful in photo management, and it also uses very creative technologies such as face tags. However, I personally prefer ACDSee.

 

Gtalk

Google's instant chat software provides a refreshing interface. However, I have very few friends in Gtalk and I am still used to QQ. After all, instant messaging is a communication software.

 

Chrome

Chrome browser, the rookie software of, focuses on the concept of fast, secure, and stable. My personal experience in using Chrome is refreshing and concise, but I do not think it is suitable for my use. I still like Maxthon. In addition, I recently tried sogou browser, it feels good, concise, convenient, and meticulous, which means the current compatibility is poor.

 

Google Desktop searcher

On the Windows platform, all previously searched files were based on the resource manager's search function. If Google Desktop Search does not appear, I still can accept the search function of EXPLORER. I feel that the search technology is like this. Google once again stunned me. It was so intelligent that the search results could be described in four words-understanding.

 

Google pack

The software package included Google products, as well as Firefox, Adobe Reader, and Norton Antivirus. It is equivalent to a Chinese computer's essential software CD. The Google pack model was first created, driving a group of counterfeits in China.

 

Service:

Search is a good player in Google.

 

Http://gmail.google.com

Simple, convenient, and powerful. Many features are the oldest, the oldest G-level mail, and the oldest support for full-text search.

 

Http://maps.google.com/

Map search is an american map. Its biggest feature is street view, 360-degree view, and the effect of image stitching is perfect.

 

Http://maps.google.cn

There is no street view map function for domestic maps, but it is only a 2D map. It does a good job in line search and bus search. However, a lot of operation experience is not quite in line with Chinese habits, so I still use go2map a little more.

 

Http://docs.google.com

Online office, including documents, presentations, and workbooks, corresponding to word, PPT, and Excel respectively.

Translate.google.com: Google's full-text translation is relatively reliable compared to the word patchwork of some fake sites. Searching with translation results is more practical. This function can be used to search for English web pages without knowing how to express search keywords in English.

 

Http://code.google.com

Code search tools are especially helpful for developers.

 

My feeling:

The above are the software and services of Google I have used, which are powerful but only part of Google products. In addition, Google has also made many products on the mobile platform. I concluded that Google has such a unique temperament when making products:

1. The vast majority of products are free of charge, which is also a precedent and breaks the "constant" pattern that software must pay for to survive.

2. Google products always integrate the search function, and the search function is often very intelligent. Search is the essential technology of Google, and search is everywhere.

3. Google's products are always surprising because of the powerful technical strength of Google's innovative culture.

Google is powerful, but it also has some defects,

1. If the attack force is too large, it will make the power scattered and cannot form a powerful attack force. This may be related to the culture in which google70/30 encourages innovative experiments.

2. Localization is not good enough. At least the localization in China gave me the feeling like this. Google scored 95 points as a global product, but if it is targeting China, it will be compromised, maybe only 80 points.

In any case, Google provides a lot of useful and free software and services. It is a great company and I admire it.
