It is no doubt that Google is the most well known search engine tool. Google provides a lot of activities and brings convenience to Internet users. As one of the users, Google allows me to search for and access to more information especially in doing my assignments. Developed in 1990s, Google now has grown more quickly than other e-commerce companies and is able to generate profit of $1.4 billion by 2005. Google also adds in spreadsheet application other than search engine tool. Google Spreadsheet is a free Web-based application that allows users to organize their own information and make it more easily accessible to others via the Web. Many people start using Google Spreadsheet as it is free of charge and it has become a major competitor of Microsoft' Excel. This application offers users 200 functions and common spreadsheet formulas for doing basic calculations as well as can be shared with up to 10 users simultaneously.
Google also launches the next generation enterprise search platform that provides productivity solutions for businesses. Enterprise search is user friendly and can be integrated with other applications to enhance performance.
For instance, Kaiser Permanente (kaiserpermanente.org) is a nonprofit health care institution that has applied enterprise search to give medical staff instant, secure access to diagnostic information, educational material and other clinical resources. Google Search Appliance and spelling checking capability are particularly useful and essential to the Kaiser’s success.
There are many other Google products. For example, users can use Google Maps to search for places that they wish to go. It provides high resolution satellite images for most of the countries and towns including Malaysia.
Google Calendar is another useful tool where it helps users to organize their schedule and weather forecast. Users can record down their daily activities and share it to the publics and friends. The Google products can be used anytime anywhere as long as there is an Internet access and it has become parts of our lives in this 21st century. Therefore, lets Google now!
