 Google Maps may be the most popular
Hill gives an upbeat walkthrough of Google's various offerings, that are separate from its search engine. So you might apply to open a Gmail account, for instance. Though, unlike hotmail or Yahoo, there is no automatic approval, so you'll have to wait to see if Google, for reasons of its own, "likes" you. Fundamentally, there seems little advantage of a gmail account over those of other vendors. It certainly isn't the large amount of space you get. For most users, hotmail and yahoo now have perfectly adequate space.
Google Maps is probably the most entrancing offering. It can be mildly addictive to some users, by introducing an easy way to incorporate geographic visualisation into your data. This merging, done with fairly simple coding, is where Google seems to have won a lot of popularity.
