google is slowly taking over the internet, and i'm pretty okay with that. they do it well, and, for the most part, seem to be adhering to their motto, "don't be evil".
the most obvious google tool, and the one i use by far the most, is the search engine (including image and video search), but i also use google maps at least once a week. i find google maps' public transit directions to be far more reliable and useful than calgary transit's. not least among these is the fact that google is not afraid of telling you to walk a few blocks, where the calgary transit website would tell you to catch a bus for 30 seconds, or, if such a bus is not available, that it is regrettably impossible for you to reach your destination.
i also use google maps' walking directions to plan bicycle routes. google are starting to introduce bicycle directions in some cities, but unfortunately, not yet for calgary.
