Google

Google Voice, Google Friend Connect, Google Adsence, Google Sites, Blogger, Orkut, Wave, Apps, Desktop, Earth, etc etc.

How do they all combine?

Google does a great job with many of the projects, but a few fall short. It is not possible (as far as I can tell), to use Google Friend Connect on a Google Sites site. But then with the future turning to Wave, it may make some of the other programs obsolete.

I must say though, I am very excited about Google Voice. Now that it is finally being rolled out. Not sure how far they are through the list, but I got my account a few days ago from back when I signed up to Grand Central. As I go through and use it more, I'll write more about it.

Along with that, I'm (trying) to set up a Google Sites site for the classes I teach. I haven't been too happy with the interface for that yet, but we will see how it goes.
