The ONE Google book for the serious Google user . . .
HEAVILY REVAMPED for this edition.
Content re-focused to address the higher-end, more techy user.
New information added for developers, complete with information on Google's various APIs and developer toolkits.
Google's initial function was as an easy-to-use, effective search engine. But over the years Google has added a variety of features, services, tools, and businesses that make the Googleplex a one-stop-shop for virtually any web user. These services-from Gmail to Google Maps to the Picasa image editor to Blogger-enhance the Google experience, and are helping to ensure Google's dominance of the web services market over Microsoft, Yahoo!, and other competitors. Even the most casual web user accesses Google several times a day to conduct basic keyword searches. Serious web searchers and professional researchers know enough to make Google their online base of operations, and millions of users take advantage of Google's other non-search features. However, few of these users are aware of all the power and special features beyond behind the basic Google search page; all users can benefit from using Google to make more effective and efficient queries, and to perform a variety of web-based tasks. How do users move beyond the search box to harness all the power of Google? With Googlepedia: The Ultimate Google Resource. And now Googlepedia has been updated to cover all the latest Google developments, from the new Android 'Google phone' to the upcoming Google Health initiative. The book also features a new section specifically for developers, complete with information on Google's various APIs and developer toolkits. It has been revamped for the higher-end, more technical user.
