This is definitely a further advancement for Google in their social aspects (while shying away from social networks at the same time).
Google’s social side is more visible every day. A new service called “Shared Stuff” lets you share interesting links with your friends and the entire world. You need to drag a bookmarklet to your browser’s link bar or to click on the “Share” button from a web page (the button can only be found at Google Video right now).

Google has made some serious strides recently with their maps, from covering 75% of the world to adding international transit information to abilities of measuring distances. Now, Google adds a bit of the lighter, customizable side… Custom icons….
Posted by Keith Golden, Software Engineer, Google Maps
When we first started developing the map creation tools in Google Maps, I found a turkey hiding among the Maps placemark icons, a Thanksgiving leftover, no doubt. I proposed we include it in our icon menu. For some reason, no one else on the team seemed to think that was a good idea.

Yet another story of a free competitor to Microsoft’s Office. Somehow I think that Google Presentations are going to be a hit. My favorite feature thus far is definitely the ability to embed them in other web sites.

Usually Google has a little more tact and class, however, read below their letter to announce that Google Reader is leaving the Beta/Labs division.
Dear “Labs”,
We don’t know how to tell you this, but it’s time that we break up. It’s just that we’re different now. People can search. They can share what they read. They can even see trends about what they read, and how often they do it. There are all sorts of things we could do in the future to make feed reading awesome. And that means you just can’t be around anymore.
