Google Desktop 2
August 22nd, 2005
I’m not sure if the first version of Google Desktop even came out of beta, but there’s now a new version of Google Desktop. It’s a bit more like the sidebar seen in earlier versions of Windows Vista and similar to Konfabulator. There’s the pane on the right hand side of the screen offering you features such as news, web clips, a note pad, weather, stocks, photos, what’s hot and stuff.
I think it’s kinda cool. One thing I didn’t like about the original Google Desktop is having to open a web browser to search my computer (not exactly logical) and this version seems to change that and allow a search without opening the browser. Also seems to index MSN Messenger conversations now.
Apparently the sidebar might also be self personalizing. When you click a news item, it’ll influence the type of news items displayed in the future.
