The migration habits of peacocks

<span class="byline-author">Posted by </span>Rajen Sheth, Google Enterprise Product Manager<br /><br />Do you find that it's easier to find the migration habits of peacocks on Google than to find last week's sales presentation? Between blogs, wikis, file shares and other easy publishing methods, organizations are generating a lot of new content. So to keep up with this content explosion, we've upgraded our website and intranet search products. The <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/mini/index.html">Google Mini</a>, our hardware-software search solution for small and medium-sized businesses, now supports up to 100,000 documents (and is dirt cheap at $2,995). And the entry-level <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/gsa/">Google Search Appliance</a>, designed for large businesses, now supports up to 500,000 documents for $30,000. So blog away -- we're ready for you.

Getting wordy

<span class="byline-author">Posted by Vlad Denisov, Google Definitions Engineer</span><br /><br />What's an <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Aiwi">iwi</a>? What does <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Aspiel">spiel</a> mean? <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/features.html#definitions"> Google Definitions</a> is one example of how we work to make the world's information more accessible: ask us what a word means, and we'll try our best to get a good variety of definitions from all corners of the Web. So I'm happy to say that a handy feature just got handier; as of this week, Google Definitions is multilingual, and is indexing more sources than ever. Enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that the definition of <a href="http://google.com/search?q=define%3Avoip&defl=all">voip</a> is just one click away.

A bird's-eye view

<span class="byline-author">Posted by John Hanke, GM Keyhole </span><br /><br />Have you ever wished you could see what someplace looked like before you got there? A house? A hotel? A freeway exit? We thought you might find it useful, so we've incorporated Keyhole technology into <a href="http://maps.google.com">Google Maps</a> and <a href="http://local.google.com">Google Local</a>. Now when you type an address into Google Maps, you can click the 'Satellite' link and see a view of the area. You can zoom, move the view by dragging, and even resize the window just like the normal 'Maps' view. Looking for a new apartment or house? Type in an address you're considering, get a view from the air and, with a quick local search, find out if you can walk to your favorite Saturday morning cup of coffee. Thinking about spending time at the shore this summer? Search for hotels with Google Local and check out the "beach" in "beachfront." You can even see driving directions with real images. We can't promise you'll never miss another freeway exit, but we do think that Google Maps + Keyhole gives you a great way to see and explore your world. But take a look for yourself and <a href="http://www.google.com/support/maps/bin/request.py">let us know what you think</a>.

Drink up

<span class="byline-author">Posted by the Google Gulp team </span><br /><br />Granted, for an online search company a beverage line constitutes a bit of a departure. But at Google we try never to lose our focus on the user, and this year we got to thinking that the one thing missing from the perfect web-surfing experience was a cool, refreshing <a href="http://www.google.com/googlegulp/">smart drink</a>.<br /><br />Cheers!

Need a ride?

<span class="byline-author">Posted by Russell Shoji, Business Development </span><br /><br />One of the things I like most about Google is the ability to create useful tools for our users that leverage current products. There's no shortage of ideas, for instance, on how to use Google Maps; here's one we're ready to show you.<br /><br />If you're like me, you use a mix of recommendations from friends, the phone book, or standing on the corner with your hand in the air (and hoping it isn't raining) when you need to find a taxi, limousine or shuttle service. With <a href="http://labs.google.com/ridefinder">Google Ride Finder</a>, you can tell us where you want to find a ride and we'll show you the actual positions of participating vehicles in that area, along with a phone number you can use to contact the fleet operator (e.g., <a href="http://labs.google.com/ridefinder?z=8&near=Chicago%2C%20IL&src=1">Chicago</a>).<br /><br />We're just getting started, so forgive us if we don't have your city or ride provider yet; we'll be adding more as they become available. If you're a fleet owner/operator, <a href="http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/inquiry.html">get in touch with us</a>; we'd love to include your vehicle.<br /><br />Now I've got to run to catch my ride to the airport.
