Emily Explores Google Labs

Google constantly amazes me, but I was somewhat disappointed with the Google Labs. I am definitely a fan of Google Maps and so I expected to enjoy Google Mars but it was a huge let down. They only got one very small satellite image and decided to repeat it several times and it wasn't even a very interesting image at that. The only redeeming feature of Google Mars is that the elevation view is so colorful and therefore amusing for a few minutes. The Google experimental searches with the time line is pretty cool as well as Google Suggest and Google Trends. Overall, it was semi-entertaining and semi-useful, but not much more than that.
