New services at Google !

Google launch Google Co-op, Google Desktop 4, Google Notebook and Google Trends

Hey everyone ! Google just launched new application services. A quick cursory look at these services tell me that they are cooooool. As usual, Google services are always well received. It seems to me that this time round, Google isn't venturing into some new space or domain but focusing on deepening their strengths in existing areas.

Google Co-op is a cooperative environment where various people can tag websites and pages so that others using Google Searches can op to use these tags to zoom down to more detailed and focussed searches.

Google Desktop 4 becomes quite like the Yahoo Konfabulator engine and its widgets. Google's version of these widgets are called Gadgets ..... how original.

Google Notes sounds like something I would like to use, it allows use to cat and paste portions of web pages, make comments and share these.

And finally Google trends which allows people to research on the popularity of search terms over time and geography.
