Google never seizes to amaze us. This week we were overjoyed to be introduced to and play with Googles catalog service. Using this service, users now have the ability to quickly and easily scan thousands of scanned mail-order catalogs. Although the service is still in Beta it is yet another great service that is likely going to be a great reference tool for future searches.
The above items as well as other new and innovative services and technologies can be found on our What's Hip section on our News page at:
