There are tons of Google products out there. Some of them like Google Maps, Google Glass, and other upcoming projects like internet-beaming balloons and smart contact lenses have managed to gain a lot of limelight. Most of the other products and services that Google offers, however, get overshadowed by its search engine.
Here are some useful Google products that you can start using today.

Ideal for armchair historians, the nGram Viewer displays how many times a particular word or phrase has been used between 1500 and 2008 on books that are available on Google’s vast database.
- Google News
The platform aggregates headlines from news sources around the world and groups them together according to each user’s interests.

- Google Goggles
Just snap a picture and Google will handle the rest.
