If you asked Random Joe about what product Google have, they would prolly say search, maps and the little more techy would say Gmail. But Google has if not hundreds of program.
If you are not a nerd like me who trawls the techy web sites like BoingBoing, Gizmodo and Lifehacker you will not know anything about the other Google products: Knol, Notebook, Wave, Latitude, Local, Docs, Gtalk etc.
Today I just read that Google have binned two of their products Google PowerMeter and Google Health. This is yet more of Google product got canned which I’m sure that people haven’t read or heard about. I had heard about both since I read the techy site, but have never see them advertised. I have seen Google Search (their big money maker), Google Maps (used by TV Stations and a good place to plug your product) and Google Chrome (on massive billboards), but that is it of all the products they have.
The big G is a massive advertising company if not the world biggest, but yet they fail to advertise their own products.

Just as I moan about Google not advertising their own products enough and then they released a handful of products.
I really do like the look of them and the first bit of testing I like what it does too. Just not enough friends on it yet to use it fully use it.
This does sound rather a lot like Google Wave. Great product but no one to use it with. Since I’m one of the very few of my friends who reads techy blogs …
