How Good Are Google's Extras?
Ever use Froogle, Maps, Gmail, or Picasa 2? We run them through their paces and report on which work well -- and which could use some work

An estimated 79 million people use Google's (GOOG ) search engine every day, but there's a side of Google you may not know.

Our reviewers checked them out, and here's what they found.
Froogle: Shopping Made Complex
Gmail: Just a Bit Too Quirky
Maps: Google Tops the Charts
Google's Glitchy Picasa
