Google Labs

I played around with three of the labs. The first one is Google Ride Finder. This lab would be very useful in some states that use taxis and other forms of transportation for people to call for a taxi. It shows on a map where the rides are and gives you the name of the taxi service and address and phone number you can call, etc. The next one that I liked is Google Mars. It gives an image of mars. Let's say you click on craters, it will put a balloon where the craters are and on the side it will give you articles on the craters. I had fun playing around with this one. I am sure that this one will graduate. The last one I played around with is Google Suggest. This is similar to Did you mean... when you do a search except this shows suggestions as you type in a word before you click search. It is very useful, especially if you are not sure of the spelling and it shows you before you click search. I am pretty sure that this lab will also graduate. This was fun to see what Google has been working on.
