Google unveils new range of services and personalized search pages:
"Google recently unveiled a personalized homepage prototype, allowing users to display their Gmail (the firm�s email service), local weather, cinema times, headlines from the BBC and the New York Times, stock quotes and other services all on what looks like a standard Google search page. The prototype emerged from a project called Fusion, in which the company has been looking at ways of bringing together the roughly 50 disparate services it has launched in the past few years. Other features include the brand-new Google Earth, a service using 3-D digital technology to plan travel routes; Google Scholar, a search engine for scientific, medical and technical journals; Google Print, which searches the text of books; Google News, which aggregates news services and the Froogle shopping search. Google has digitized 15 million books from the collections of Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, the University of Michigan and the New York Public Library. The search engine is planning to do the same thing with images of world heritage sites. Be sure to read the related article, Google library project named as one of ten most important emerging technologies for humanity by futurist Mike Adams."
