Google, just what are you up to?

    Hey Mr. Google, just what are you up to these days?

    So I was browsing the web as that is my daily routine and I stumbled across Google. Well, DERRR I stumbled across Google, but what I mean is some of Google's services and pages that I did not know about. :)

    One of the most interesting things I have found today is called Google AdSense for Domains: a possible domain parking service by Google? Go ahead and click that link for more details. :eek:

    Another interesting service that I found today that Google provides is Google Spreadsheets, which would be my cheapass alternative to using Microsoft Excel simply because I cannot afford it. :p It's web-based, it's free, and most importantly - it's convenient. I think I'm going to do some poking around with this so that eventually I can save site traffic stat reports with this program, and show it to others if I ever sell a website - hey, this makes a more professional approach to sharing AWStats reports.

    And finally, another page that I happened to stumble across that Google is offering is the Internet Explorer Default Page, but of course you may not know about that just yet, because I sure as hell didn't. ;) The page, as you can see, is pretty messed up in FireFox, but I guess Google is making it to comply with a new version of IE? Google did afterall make a page dedicated to Mozilla FireFox, located at the FireFox Default Page.

    Well, just thought I'd share some links and cool things that Google is doing with you. :)

    But honestly...Google, just what are you up to?

    Very cool, good finds. There seems to be no end to Google's branching out, it's a little scary.

    They had this Google parking thing for a very long time. It's just that it's a premium program and not everyone can join off the bat like adsense. You have to apply with quality domain portfolio i guess.
