Google also has so many other website like the Google Drive, wherein you can save and upload files and documents online. They also have the GMail, a very simple email that loads faster compared to Yahoo Mail. Google also has URL shortener website, the Goo.gl. Some of Google's partners are Youtube, Blogger and Weebly when it comes to Videos and Contents Publishers. Google also has the Google Webmasters Tools and Google Analytics, very power tools use to monitor internal stats of your website or blog. If you wanna advertise with them, you can use Google Adwords, there are so many advertisers that became millionaire or even billionaire only by just advertising on Google. If you do not have Microsoft Office, Open Office or Libre Office installed in your local hard drive, then you can use Google Docs. If you wanted to know the latest trends in the world then use Google Trends.
