As expected, Google has a lot going on. Web 2.0 moves so fast, it’s got to be about beta. Google is certainly looking at lots of things in Google labs. The Google Mars is pretty cool, and a good place for a student to go looking for the history of spacecraft landings and various geographical features on the planet. Lots of links to stories.
Google Suggest is pretty cool too. I started to type in my search terms, and it filled them in, suggesting many different headings. Fun to see what else I might be interested in that I hadn’t really thought about. A little bit like the lost serendipity of the card catalog.
I know we teach about Google labs in our extreme Google class. Good to share this with as many people that might be interested. They might in turn help Google with info.

At first it sounded like Google Suggest was reading your mind with its suggestions. But obviously it’s not quite as creepy as it sounds.
