The Google World

Enjoyed playing with Google Maps; finding my house, exploring landmarks in the local area with accompanying pictures, directions and reviews. Interesting that anyone can contribute, and I think this aspect of Google Maps must be very useful for small businesses.

I performed a search of restaurants in my local area and found a number of negative reviews. I recently read in the press about the impact that negative reviews in TripAdvisor may have on the businesses commented on. This is an interesting development concerning the impact of Web 2.0.

I can see myself using Google Docs, for quick and dirty documents - if I haven't got a data stick handy. Doesn't seem to have the same capabilities of Microsoft Word, so I wouldn't use it for anything more than this.
