Reviewer's Guides We have created a number of guides for journalists who are interested in reviewing these products. Each one details the product features, includes screen shots and provides a PR contact. We will continue to add new reviewer’s guides to this page as new products become available. Blogger Blogger is Google’s web-based publishing tool that gives people the ability to publish to the web instantly in a blog format. Blogs are web pages made up of short, informal, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically. Blogger Reviewer's Guide (PDF) Gmail Gmail is Google’s free search-based webmail service that includes 1,000 megabytes (1 gigabyte) of storage. The backbone of Gmail is a powerful Google search engine that quickly and easily finds any message sent or received through Gmail. When Gmail displays an email message, it automatically shows all the replies to that message as well, so users can view them in the context of a conversation. Gmail is available by invitation only. Gmail Reviewer's Guide (PDF) Google Desktop Search Google Desktop Search is a free application that provides full text search across email, computer files, chats, and web pages. Unlike traditional computer search software that updates once a day, Google Desktop Search updates continually for most file types, so that it’s possible to find a new email message in Outlook, for example, within seconds. The index of searchable information created by Google Desktop Search is stored on the user's computer. Google Desktop Search Reviewer's Guide (PDF) Google Groups Google Groups enables easy participation in Internet discussion groups by providing users with tools to search, read and browse these groups and to post messages of their own. Users can quickly create their own announcement lists, mailing lists and public discussions. Every Google Group has its own Google-fast search, which makes it easy to find discussions deep in a group's archive. Google Groups Reviewer's Guide (PDF) Google Search Appliance The Google Search Appliance is a complete software and hardware solution that companies can easily implement to extend Google’s search performance to their intranets or public websites. It can often be installed and launched in as little as one day, and offers such features as automated spell-checking, cached pages, dynamic snippets, indented results and automatic conversion of Microsoft Office and PDF files to HTML. Google Search Appliance Reviewer's Guide (PDF) Picasa Picasa is free downloadable software from Google that helps users instantly find, edit and share all the digital pictures on their PCs. Each time they open Picasa, it automatically locates photos and sorts them into visual albums organized by date with recognizable folder names. Picasa also provides advanced editing features and powerful effects, making it easy to share pictures via email, printing, on gift CDs, or through a Blogger blog.
