We are all falling in love with Google’s Non-Stop Ideas and It became really a difficult task to keep monitoring whats new with them. I will write some of the latest development.
For Worldcup 2006, the event which caught our attention and became a daily addiction, Google has launched a gadget which will preview live scores in the Main Google search page. This is available on Google Desktop Beta on http://desktop.google.com/plugins/i/gd_soccergadget.html.

Many have spoken last week about Arabic Gmail, which will target Maktoob.com Email users for sure. Now and next is the Google Arabic News, which was launched yesterday 14-6-2006. The Site is automatically scanning 150 news sources & being updated many times per hour.
For Photos Community War, After Yahoo!’s Flickr being on the top of this category, Google is preparing Picasa Web Albums which is still in Beta stage and owners of GMAIL accounts can register for signing up to the beta now.
For the new in the Google Books, Google has added a new section called Google Shakespeare. Of Course this site is a perfect place for all Information about this writer especially for the people who study english literature.
The address to this service will be http://www.google.com/shakespeare
Press Release: http://ww.urchin.com/press/annc/shakespeare.html
In Google Video, Google has added a new section called Shakers & Movers. It contains the latest trends up and down for the latest videos added, categorized in each country of the world.
For Google International Zeitgeist during the latest available month, the charts shows the top 10 search terms for each country or community. These charts can give an interpretation or mirror of each country’s interests. For example, most searched term in Google UK was eBay and for Turkey was sohbet which means chat in turkish language and for Norway it was Ronaldinho. I am sure that June’s release of this page will be covering a lot of Worldcup topics & search terms.
In the end I would like to highlight a great new extension for Firefox Browser which is done by Google, Google Browser Sync. An extension that allows the user to sync all browser related items like bookmarks, history, Cookies and saved passwords – across your multiple computers. It also allows you to retain open tabs and windows across different machines. All what you need is a GMAIL account to run this extension & to allow the sync/restore anytime you need it.
For the lovers of Picasa Photos Software, Google recently has launched the Linux version of Picasa on this URL.
Update 19-June-2006: Google has launched Google Spreadsheets as part of Google Labs.
P.S: Thanks to Google Official Blog for some ideas which helped brainstorm this post.
