I *love* Google Press Day! It's like Christmas... except we release products, not presents. What does it mean to the average Googler? It means I find out that I'm finally allowed to talk about products that have been "under wraps" for a while.
For example...
The humor opportunties are boundless: Roe v. Wade, and oh this just makes my eyes hurt.
For example...
Google Trends
Find out how many people have been searching for a particular term (the results are relative, to keep things private). So, you can finally find out who is winning: Star Wars vs. Star Trek, Good vs. Evil, and Republican vs. Democrat. Wait, there's more. If you are a geek you can find out: Windows vs. Linux, Emacs vs. VI, and Battle of the *BSDs.The humor opportunties are boundless: Roe v. Wade, and oh this just makes my eyes hurt.
