Google Releases Desktop 4

Tuesday, Jun. 27 2006 | Author: jeremy

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Google has released version 4 of its Google Desktop application. At the same time, it has also come out of beta.

Google Desktop gives you easy access to information on your computer and from the web. It’s a desktop search application that provides full text search over your email, files, music, photos, chats, Gmail, web pages that you’ve viewed, and more. By making your computer searchable, Google Desktop puts your information easily within your reach and frees you from having to manually organize your files, emails and bookmarks. It makes searching your computer as easy as searching the web with Google.

Google Desktop doesn’t just help you search your computer; it also helps you gather new information from the web with Sidebar, a desktop feature that shows you your new email, weather, stock information, personalized news, RSS/Atom feeds, and more. Sidebar is personalized automatically, without any manual configuration required (though you can certainly make your own customizations if you want to or turn off automatic personalization).

Google Desktop is available as a single download or as part of the Google Pack, a suite of applications from Google such as Desktop, the Google Toolbar, Picasa and more.
