Google Services: For whatever you Search under the Sun

One name which is like a religion for the Internet is Google, without any doubt. If you are a regular Google user you must have seen many features of it. Google services include all its products under three broad categories.

1. Desktop Products
2. Mobile products
3. Online products

If we would count all these products the list would go very long. There are more than 100 Google products under these three categories. These all products are either a gold release, in beta development or a part of the Google lab initiative.

Now, gold release is the final version of a particular product, beta development is the first version released outside the organization for the purpose of evaluation and Google lab initiative is some new Google project that is not ready for prime time and which serves as a testing ground for new services being developed.

Here are some of the major products in each category…
