Dear Google Friends,
We don't know about your neck of the woods, but here in
Silicon Valley summer has definitely arrived, with record-breaking
100-degree weather. So we dedicate this newsletter to the
pleasures of summer sun and cool getaways. Why not bring
Google to the beach with you and enjoy some of the hot new
features we describe below? Don't forget sunscreen . . .

the shirt to whomever you want, and we'll include a nice
note telling the recipient how he or she came to receive
official Google garb.
You Can Get There From Here: Use Google to Find Street
Maps
Never get lost again thanks to Google's easy-to-use street
map feature. Just enter a U.S. street address, including
zip code or city/state (e.g. 2400 Bayshore Ave Mountain
View CA), into the search box. Often the street address
and city name will be enough.
Google links directly to map providers--selected solely
for their high quality--with no additional typing required.

If We Can Make it There . . . The New Yorker Profiles
Google
We've made it to the "Digital Age" edition of
America's foremost intellectual magazine, the New Yorker,
with a profile teased off the cover as "the perfect
search engine". Google "has become the default
search engine of the digital in-crowd," according to
the article. Danny Sullivan, editor of Search Engine Watch,
asserts that "Their system just works better than anyone
else's does." But you already knew that. Find links
to more Google articles in the press at: http://www.google.com/press.html
Happy Father's Day and Keep on Googlin,
Larry, Sergey, and the Google Team.
