Just what does Google have?

I thought that I would try to make a list of Google’s products. Hmmmm. Seems they’re averaging a new product introduction about every two weeks since they came out of their quiet period after the IPO. Some on this list are fully-formed products, some are beta and some are tools and features. It’s a pretty interesting list.

Anyway, they’re about to hit 50 on my list. I haven’t included the worldwide stuff either – language or ownership stakes. This is a picture of the future but it’s more like an unassembled mosaic. The mosaic tiles are there, they’re on the floor and we don’t know what the picture will look like when it’s done. Howver, something is emerging from the fog of creativity and innovation here. Add in Google’s interest in providing free wireless to San Francisco and their investment in broadband access through the electrical wires and you get an inkling of an intereting future direction.
