Google has recently launched several new tools, most of which are still in beta, although VERY functional.

Some are online, so are downloadable apps. Some have been recently improved. There’s a lot of new satellite data in Google Earth, for example.

One I particularly like is Sketchup, an incredibly easy and free CAD tool. OK, it’s not Autocad - it’s better!

Then there an online web page maker, an online spreadsheet, Writely (online word processing) Google Calendar which beats the pants of any other web calendar out there. And see some of my photos on Picasaweb, an online photo gallery in early beta, but which may have the potential to put Flickr in the shade.

Know of any others?
