There's a new toy out from Google. It's got a sidebar now, and it's really smooth. Take a look at it here. If that's not convincing enough, see it on my desktop.
Most of Google's products are integrated into this sidebar. I can see my Gmail account, photos from Picasa, and talk on Google Talk all in this sidebar. There are also no advertisements. This is another great product from Google, and all companies should follow Google's lead for quality software. If only I could blog from it...
With all the advertisement software and spyware that sneaks in to your computer these days, the Google Deskbar is a breath of fresh air. When installing this one, there is a warning that some of your personal information (such as your surfing history, not your name or credit card numbers) may be sent to Google and you can opt out of that part of it.
I realize that some people may not use the desktop program, and some similar programs are cool for a couple of days until one realizes that he or she doesn't use it and it's a waste of space on the desktop, but I will try to leave this one up for at least a week and see if it's worth my time.
