Google's World Domination Continues

Google continues to add nifty little features to their products that you didn't know you needed until you try it. Now you can track any package from any shipper just by entering the number into Google. There are other numeric tips here as well, like searching on vehicle identification numbers, patent numbers, airline info, and product UPC codes. And if you haven't googled your telephone number yet, try it.

And just because they gave you RTF and double the space, don't think they're done with Gmail, either. Here's a post talking about an upcoming feature which integrates RSS feeds (albiet in a small way) with the Gmail interface. Surely, Google has more to say about RSS. I'd love for Gmail to handle my email and RSS feeds as well in one slick interface.

But the world is fighting back! Or at least the hacker community. HackaDay has a post about running Linux on Gmail. Yes, you basically have a 2GB virtual filesystem and can run basic unix commands to communicate with Gmail. Posted by Chris on 4/18/2005 04:24:00 PM :: Permalink
