OK, so maybe "gadgets" isn't entirely accurate, as we're really talking small programs here. But I went gaga over the alliteration. What I'm referring to is the ever-growing number of utilities and services that Google offers. At Google Labs you can get a look (and test run) projects under development as well as snag any that have been released for the public.
A couple of my favorite Google offerings are Google maps (now out of the lab) and Site-Flavored Google Search. And I'm a fan of GMail and its "Notifier" program too. Here's a tip for Google maps ... instead of just searching for an address, add "restaurants near " (without the quote marks) before the address. Press Enter, and presto, you get a bunch of lettered pointers on the map for varied restaurants. In the left pane are the same letters plus name and address. Cool.
