Google Desktop Sidebar…
I’ll admit, I was very hesitant at first to run with Google Desktop. I mean, this is Google on my computer, scanning everything and indexing it and who knows what… But the apps they’ve been pumping out are pretty cool and after seeing an article on the sidebar and all the related desktop apps in the Google Desktop Pak, I thought I’d give it a try.
Verdict? Pretty freakin sweet so far. It doesn’t take up too much room but I love having the stuff along the side for quick access, reference and viewing. No more toggling back and forth in Itunes to see what’s playing, and I can see some of my favorite RSS Feeds without having to hit a bunch of web pages over and over…
The whole suite includes Google Earth, a great Screensaver, Google Chat, some security and anti-virus stuff (which I opted not to install as I’m happy with what I already have) and much more… Even Star Office (a Open-Source Microsoft Office Suite Alternative! Check it out as it’s very cool and quite a production enhancer…
