I’m pretty sure that I already lost some followers on twitter just because of this headline. But anyway it was google’s 11th birthday, so time for spreading some love ;-)

First of all I have to say, that I’m not a groupie. I don’t like everything they do. Of course not! I don’t like that one of the guys (not quite sure whether Larry or Sergey) simply rent an island in order to celebrate his wedding (or birthday or whatever). But a) that’s not directly connected to what google does as a service and b) what the heck would you do, if you’d earn more money within a minute than you can ever spend (maybe I’m slightly exaggerating)?

One thing, despite all those points mentioned before, is quite obvious: Then internet wouldn’t be what it is right now without google!

1. Google is free

and this should actually be enough =)

2. Gmail

Googlemail. The perect way to manage your emails via web. The cool thing: It is finally out of beta (it was in beta for decades!) and improves by the time. It is possible to embed a lot of google’s services into your gmail account.

3. Google Docs

Go
