Dear Google Friends,
We have much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving, beginning with
friends like you who have spread the word about Google and put us (for
the first time) in the Media Metrix top 50 domains. As our way of
saying thanks, we'd like to let you in on our latest news starting
with the cool new Google Toolbar we've just developed.
Beef up your browser with the Google Toolbar.
The beta version of the Google Toolbar just became available today, and
we want you to be among the first to try it. This toolbar quickly plugs
into your browser and helps you find information from anywhere,
anytime. And, it's totally free.
The Google Toolbar enables you to:
- Search the web using Google from any web page
- Search only within the site you're visiting
- Highlight and find your search terms wherever they appear on the page
- Move up a level in a site to the page above the one you're on
- Have instant access to the Google Web Directory
- Display the PageRank of the page currently in your browser
- Find web pages similar to the current page
Learn more about this easy-to-use essential browser tool and send us
your thoughts on how it can be improved.

Google and MyPalm join to bring wireless web content
to handheld users.
You can find Google at home, at work and on your phone. And now a new
kind of Google search is at hand. Google and Palm have partnered to
deliver Google's fast, highly relevant search technology to MyPalm
users with wireless Palm handhelds. To quote Sergey Brin, "The
combination of Google and the MyPalm portal provides quick access to
the world's knowledge from your shirt pocket." Assuming, of course, that
you can dig it out from behind all those pens in your pocket protector.
