My 10 Reasons why Google is so cool

10. Google Groups - Great feature that has turned the long forgotten newsgroups (that I enjoyed from my BBS days) into a working messageboards system

9. In order to work there, you have to pass the GLAT (Google Labs Aptitude Test)

8. People + Google = Clever

7. Newly introduced Google Maps. Now with Satellite Imaging! You can even get a map of Things that suck in Manhattan

6. Google Whacking

5. Opening up Google’s API has allowed for crazy things like Craigslist Meets Google

4. Want to take a tour of the US, but too lazy to leave your house? Go Google Sightseeing

3. Looking for anything? Google it. Can’t remember a song lyric? The Capital of Arkansas? Pictures of Boston?

2. Google AdWords and their contextual link model has forever changed online advertising

1. Gmail - Can e-mail get any better? Contact me if you need an invite!
