Google goodies

Google seems to be re-organizing it’s Services & Tools section and Help section in general. Look especially at its Software download section. All downloads there are neatly organized. I started looking under About when I found this.

These days, Google is on an innovation spree with a new one in the arsenal: Google Suggest, as I mentioned this on XJBEI this morning. A wonderful tool! I really admire their focus on providing net based quality and productivity tools that we can really use.

Trying to beat the sickness boredom, I went to Kinokuniya bookstore today for a stroll. While browsing, I found so many unsold copies of Google Pocket Guides and Google Hacks. I wonder why Google doesn’t take a page from Microsoft Press to print their in-depth information on the services they provide. If pubishing is uncool, authorize Oreilly or some other company to publish on their behalf, I’m sure anyone could jump on this.

Btw, I bought Eric Meyer’s CSS Pocket Reference, 2nd Edition. It’s always wonderful to have these pocket references around, even when TopStyle Pro 3.11 provides me a very good context suggestion on XHTML and CSS as I type. I currently own a few pocket guides: Perl, PHP and Google Pocket Guide. These guides are wonderful when you already know things and mostly want to use them for command reference. They permanently occupy my (physical) desktop.
