10 Best Google Apps
Google has been creating waves from the time it was launched. Part of its success was due to its super fast search engine. The other part is handled by the awesome applications that Google has put forth. These applications have made our life so easy that a moment without them would cripple us for days. Here we present to you the 10 best Google applications.
1. Google Mail
When Gmail came into the picture, it became an instant hit. Its user-friendly interface, mail and conversations’ organizing options and, most importantly, its massive storage capacity made it a favorite among billions of users. What’s more, its innovative options of filtering, labeling and archiving messages made it even more hassle free.
2. Google Talk
For those who were bored of the ping pongs and animated characters’ grin, Google Talk came as a blissful relief. It’s a no-frills chatting space where you can video call, share pictures, stream videos and do thousands of other things, all for free! The fun does not end here. If you don’t wish to download Google Talk or are unable to do so, you may always use this chatbox right inside Gmail!
3. Google Maps
Until a few years, maps, satellite images and cartography was a subject only meant for students of geography. But, when Google brought its Maps feature, the picture changed altogether. Now, locating a place is so much easy. All you need to do is put in a search query on ‘Gmaps’ and it will lead you to the place. Google Maps are embedded with such specialty features like accurate geographical co-ordinates, exact distance and estimated time to reach the destination by walk, car or metro. It just doesn’t stop at this. You also get traffic estimates, virtual street view of the place and little tidbits about the region. Since, even users can feed in data, you get precise information from local experts who pinpoint to even the tiniest outlets that you would find in that region! Isn’t that great?
4. Google Translate
This is one more application that has been stealing the show from the time it was launched. It’s an easy-to-use tool where you just need to copy and paste text or a website which features an alien language on ‘Gtranslate’ and Google translates it for you. What’s more, you can even learn to pronounce these words. It’s an easy way to learn a new language and that too for free!
5. Blogger
This application brought all the writers, established and amateur, under one roof. Those who had a flair for writing got a platform. Those who found writing to be a boring task also found it worthwhile and brought their creative side out of their closet. Google Blogger brought a real makeover. An exciting plus was that Blogger pays you each time your article is read! An instant hit because of this, the bloggers’ community is growing and growing like a monster!
