Follow up to GUpdate and Don’t Be Evil

So I’ve been using Google for nearly five months now, and it has replaced most apps I used to use on a daily basis. I’ve been extremely satisfied with it: GMail now handling 7 different email accounts; Google Documents handling both business, school, and personal documents; Google Reader consolidating 36 feeds into one place; Google Calendar keeping me on the same page as my business partners; and iGoogle displaying all that and more when I open my browser. But again, what makes it all worthwhile is that they work with each other and can be accessed anywhere with an internet connection.

I’m posting this update now (likely the last, I doubt I’ll become suddenly unsatisfied with it, unless they go and lose all my shit) because Google Reader has added the one feature that I’ve been longing for. A search, so I can run through my feeds quickly for something specific.

If you haven’t tried using Google’s slew of online apps, you should.
This is Web 3.0, and its here now, and its wonderful.
