I’m a fan of iGoogle and enjoy many of the widgets – I can recommend the “Google Finance Portfolios” widget for tracking share prices etc.

As other readers, I also use Google Docs and find the spreadsheet particularly useful (ideal for accessing financial data from any location). Very straightforward if you are familiar with Excel.

I think the recent integration of voice and video chat into Gmail is THE killer feature – it makes it even more functional than the standalone app GTalk.

The video quality is even better than Skype’s most of the time.

yes! Google documents!!
Also you missed out on gchat =) There’s also google sms which is nice…

Also, the new IE isn’t as bad as the old one… it has tabs now, pretty fast, (i think might use less memory than FF). My biggest problem is the weird short-cuts

LOVE Chrome. I use it almost exclusively. There are a few sites that don’t operate correctly so I have to open up IE but I still prefer Chrome greatly.

I’m a fan of Google Docs. As someone who has been using it for a while, it’s cool to see just how much they’ve improved the service over time… especially the spreadsheet section.
