Google New is a simple dashboard for finding out exactly what is new and hip at the Googleplex. It's essentially a dashboard of news from Google's 100+ blogs coupled with the ability to search through Google's key products and eight different areas of interest.
Frankly, there's not much more to Google New than that, but it definitely makes it easier to follow all of the changes Google is making. It's tough even for us to keep up with the changes going on at the tech giant. From our experience, Google launches a new update or a new product nearly every day.
Google New is one of the company's 20% project ideas, where engineers spend 20% of their work time on any project they want. We doubt it took them that long to build this, but we're glad they did; we'll certainly be using it to keep track of the company.
