>> CUTTS: I've been talking about some of the hidden gems of Google and if you haven't
been to labs.google.com, there's all kinds of hidden gems there. There is a lot of fun
stuff. I wanted to just take one that you probably haven't seen. It's Google City Tours.
So you can take something like New York or Dublin and you can type that in as a city
name and it will offer walking tours and tours of all those different places and show you
all kinds of different things. So, for New York, for example, there's so much to see
that it gives you a three-day itinerary, things like the Museum of Modern Art, Rockefeller
Center, Times Square, which is all really good stuff. You can tell this is a high quality
thing, but you don't just have to enter in famous places. For example, I have a friend
who's going to Cleveland, Ohio, and if you type that in, people have heard about the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and that museum that's associated with it, but it turns out
there's the William G. Mather Museum, there's a Hungarian Heritage Society Museum and, and
it gives you a lot of stuff all clustered in there, close together. So, it's a really
nice feature. You can type in almost any city that you're going to and find out, "Oh, what
are some cool places to stop by?" Google has a lot of fun things at Google Labs. There's
always new things coming in and a lot of stuff that you might not have seen like Google Sets
can be a lot of fun and can show you a lot about the structure of the web and what people
are talking about on the web. So, definitely give it a try, labs.google.com. You can waste
an easily an hour or two just playing with all the fun stuff there.
