Perhaps I am just now noticing this or maybe it is new. Anyway, google now has a new link right under the search field which reads, “New! Google Desktop: Personalized info anywhere on your desktop.” I haven’t had time to play around with it, but I wanted to point it out for anyone like myself just noticing it. I am not really sure what it does, but I figure it might fit in with our discussion last week of piling vs. filing on desktops.

Google Desktop actually came on my computer. It’s kind of nice, because when you search in Google, it searches your documents as well, and the toolbar with the personalized info is pretty nice, though it’s probably more interesting than actually useful. I am starting to like it, though it’s cluttering my screen more.
