Google Releases New, Free Software
Posted on: Monday, 22 August 2005, 15:00 CDT
California search engine Google Inc. released new software Monday that could challenge Yahoo Inc. and Microsoft Corp.
Known as Sidebar, the free program gives users a pane of customized information like weather forecasts, stock quotes, news headlines, text feeds from favorite Web sites, photo slideshows and e-mail alerts that sits alongside whatever else the user is viewing.
It provides some functions similar to Yahoo's popular MyYahoo customized Web-page service, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Sidebar includes a text-editor function, which allows consumers to type and save text notes.
