Google has come out with loads of products this year. Here is a list of some of those products, new to 2005:

  • Google Maps
  • Google Analytics
  • Google Video
  • Google Ride Finder
  • Google Transit
  • Google Base
  • Google Earth
  • Google Blog Search
  • Picasa 2
  • Google's Sitemaps
  • Google Talk
  • Google Local
  • APIs

A thread at Search Engine Watch Forums asks which product do you think is the Best Google Product of 2005.

Funny how even GoogleGuy responded with his favorite.

I'm gonna have to go with Maps/Earth, for two reasons: - when was the last time you spent hours looking up where you grew up, cities around the word, or where your grandparents lived? - just like last year when Gmail kicked a lot of other web mail providers into high gear and made things better for users with more storage or a better UI, Maps did the same thing for local search/mapping.
