Three google products I've used are, google shopping, google maps, and google alerts.

Google shopping you can look up and buy anything you are looking for, you can organize your search by price, size, brand, color, style, and gender.

Google maps is a good product to use to look up addresses from all over the world.

You can also get directions to anyplace that you need from point A to point B.

Google alerts is a product used to send you email alerts for anything you look up.  Like you can add someones name to your alert list and whenever their name is in the news or shows up somewhere it will send you a email telling you about what that person did or anybody with the same name that did something,ever if you don't know them it'll still send an email to you.
