Brin – “We’re widening the gap…”
Today the awesome internet giant, Google, unveiled a major reworking of their search engine architecture and format. The layout of various Google sites are now a little different and the results page for searches are quite different. I like the new look even though it’s not much and I definitely enjoy the new power you have while searching with Google. Here’s a link to an article about it:

Traffic Conditions on Google and Windows Live
I’ve been a huge Google fan for over a year now and I use Google Maps for almost all of my mapping needs. However, I moved to Chicago and the traffic here is, well, crappy. So I had to find a map system that gave me visual traffic conditions. I found out that Windows Live Local has the traffic feature built into its maps.
Today, I noticed on the Google Blog that they have now added that functionality to Google Maps which is great. They have about 30 cities that will display the traffic conditions of the major interstates and highways.
Yahoo! Maps has traffic info too, but I’m not as much of a fan of Yahoo! anymore.

Google Gmail Open to Everyone!
Okay, there has been much speculation as to when this was finally going to happen and now it looks like it has. For real this time. I only say that because there have been some rumors a few times that Gmail was open to the public, but they proved false until now. If you go here:
You can click the link “Sign Up for Gmail” and register for an account. A couple things to note. If you already have a Google account for something like Calendar or another service, you already have Gmail. And vise-versa, once you sign up for Gmail you have access to all of Google’s services like: Calendar, Photos, Docs & Spreadsheets, and Groups.
I guess Google still considers Gmail in Beta since they continue to have the tag on their logo. They add features periodically and sometimes, although very rarely, Gmail will not respond. So once it’s considered out of beta it will be nice
Well there you go, sign up for Gmail!
Here’s the features: About Gmail
(I also recommend Google Talk to serve as your new mail notifier.)
You’ll get integrated search, almost 3GB of space, chat, mobile access and a free email account where you don’t have to delete! Enjoy.
