Google is great for a lot of things, but it s a pretty big place and often it doesn't seem like there is much of a road map to services that you actually want to use. Thought I'd just put together a few links that I'm using. GMail / Gtalk (why this can't also keep the .ca I'm not sure): http://mail.google.com/mail/ Google Maps (would be good if map.google.ca would redirect to maps.google.ca): http://maps.google.ca/ Google News - a nice customizable way to view the world: http://news.google.ca/

Google's Webmaster Tools - the Google sitemap interface: https://www.google.ca/webmasters/sitemaps/siteoverview

Google Analytics - to monitor site traffic: http://www.google.com/analytics/

Adsense - for my community sites: https://www.google.com/adsense/ Manage Google accounts - for our email: https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount
