It's Monday morning, which means it is time for another weekly poll. With Google releasing two new programs last week (Desktop Search 2.0 and Google Talk), I thought I might run this week's poll about one of them. But, considering we already have forum topics about those programs, I decided to pass on that idea.

Though, Google has always been a popular subject for the polls, so I'll stay on that thought this week. wink.gif As we're all well aware, Google has moved well beyond just web search. Their services now include blogging, news, IM, maps, directions, and more.

As asked in the title, Which Google Product Do You Like Best? I'd like to keep just "plain ole search" out of this poll if possible. wink.gif I did throw in an "other" option, just in case I missed something.

------------------------------

For me, I'd really have to say Picasa. It works well and make finding and organizing my images fast and simple. It's just something I could not do with Windows. Picasa also has a few image manipulation tools that come in handy, and IMO are easier to use than doing the same thing in Photoshop (or similar program).

GDS2 is also pretty nice, but needs some "more" before it'll be number one for me. - That is at least where the "sidebar" comes into play. Personally, I'd like to see it go away from being just a sidebar. I'd like the ability to move various aspects of the sidebar around on my screen (Konfib, DesktopX, Kapsules, etc.). I'd also like the ability to increase the font size.... reading GDS2's text @ 1600x1200 is a real PITA. Skins/themes would also be a nice addition. What's a program without the ability to skin or theme it?

Well, that's enough on that. Which Google Product Do You Like Best?
