Just curious... do you copy Jay's list here: http://digg.com/links/The_Ultimate_Guide_to_Google_Services
Angelo Embuldeniya (Strav) on 8:58 PM, November 23, 2005

Not at all! I've been combing the net for the paast 3 hours and pooling all of google's services into this post.

I had a look at the ultimate guide - and belive me there were loads of things missing from that one.

But anyways, the one i got on here is incomplete as well - so right now its about 60 services - and i know for a fact that there's more than that out there.

Thanks for dropping by and keep checking back for more listings.

BTW - there are loads of lists out there on the net, the one i got on here just aims to get a more extensive coverage off google's sites and tools in use - i'm sticking to google's official services before i start listing the mashups :)

cheers!

Why was there no follow on bankruptcy then? The bailout of AIG FP went to (wow power leveling) hedge funds that bound credit swaps on Lehman failing or others betting on rating (wow power leveling) declines. AIG has drained over 100 billion from the government. Which had to go to (wow power leveling) those who bet on failures and downgrades. Many of whom (power leveling)were hedge funds. I-banks that had offsetting swaps needed the money from the AIG bailout or they would have been caught. Its an (wow powerleveling) insiders game and it takes just a little bit too much time for most people to think (wow gold) through where the AIG 100 billion bailout money went to, hedge funds and players, many of whom hire from the top ranks of DOJ, Fed, Treasury, CAOBO
