Every time Google releases something really innovative, it also seems somewhat invasive and my office mate Heath always mentions something about Skynet – the robot network that fought back in Terminator.
Google just added a traffic feature to Maps which allows us to see the traffic flow in major US cities. Very cool – very Terminator.

Google’s recent post about their logo made me giggle. Excerpt from the Google blog:
When you look at the logo, you may worry that we forgot our name overnight, skipped a letter, or have decided that “Googe” has a better ring to it.

For more accurate image results, Google has release the Google Image Labeler. It’s a game where two anonymous users tag a single image, then if the tag matches your partners, it is applied to the image which will help Google Images better organize their results.
