Tools popping out from Google toolbox

[_op_]

Few week back Google released Google Desktop tool for searching on our own computer.

Next Google has released Picasa, an Automatic Photo Organizer tool.
Once you Download this application, it automatically finds and indexes all the graphics files on the computer. It also displays the thumbnails size of it which is large enough to see.

If I remember correctly picassa came long before the desktop tool thingy.

Hey i liked your subject title. True. Too many tools are popping out.

I could not find any such tool as "picassa". Are you talking about Google picasa, if then I just came to know about such a good desktop tool. There are many Online Photo Management tool but Desktop one is very few.

One discussion on slashdot says - google may bring out an Instant messenger. Someone have found that google is using a google_im:// protocol in desktop search tool. May be that is linked to Instant messenger.

Can Google Desktop be used for searching in network desktop also? I have not yet explored this tool as the purpose is not yet useful for me.

If you mount the remote share, and index it, you can search it.

Picasa was a separate company that google bought a few months ago. They released the windows version at that time, but no signs of any other versions. Google is becoming very uncool in their lack of geek support.
