As usual, Google just keep on releasing more stuff, it's hard to keep up!

Three of the latest arrivals:-

• Google Gadgets For Your Webpage - Example's here on our diagnostics page.
• Google Apps for Your Domain - Gmail , Google Talk, Google Calendar and Google Page Creator - all based at your domain name.
  
• Google Docs & Spreadsheets - web-based word processing and spreadsheet program. What has my attention is unlike Excel on a domain, even with a VPN arrangment, different people can edit the same spreadsheet at the same time - so if Fred updated cell B4 in London, Sally will see it updated in Paris while she's updating cell E5.
