And here we go again. Yet another Google product. Google launched Sidebar with the following features:

  • Email (read Gmail in real time)
  • News headlines from Google News
  • Weather from up to 4 locations
  • Stock prices are real time, not 15 minutes delayed
  • RSS feeds from the Web are automatically added from Web pages you visit, and can also be added manually
  • Scratch Pad is a simple online text editor that allows you to add notes to yourself
  • Quick view is a list of frequently used Web pages and desktop files
  • Desktop search covers Web pages and hard drive files

    • Desktop applications are definately on the rise, just take a look at Yahoo’s aqusition of Konfabulator. The only missing feature in the sidebar is an instant messenger, but I have a very strong feeling that that has been cooking for a long time and is yet to come. Would definately make sense. I am sure we’ll see something similar soon on Yahoo, AIM and others. Thanks to Ouriel for the link.
