I think the Google Game is a really cool idea. I admit that I didn't know the trick of using :edu etc. to narrow your sources down to a specific kind of website. How valuable! I think that making developing better internet search strategies into a game is a fantastic idea, and I think that students will genuinely enjoy participating and will use the skills they learn when doing "real life" internet searches.
I loved Google already but it's really neat to see all of the different programs that have been developed for it. I have heard of GoogleDocs before but I didn't realize that it has a feature that allows people to collaborate on a presentation and not just a document. I also had never heard of google notebook, which sounds like it could be a great tool for me to use in my coursework. Unfotunately the Google Lit finder page seemed to make my computer crash so I couldn't look around there too much, but it also seems like a really great way to combine google earth with literature, which I never would have thought to do on my own.
