Now you can share your health records with your doctor, family or friends. With Google Health, you can store and manage all your health information in one place. You can use your Google Account for this. You can create your health profile, import medical records, track your medical history and share your health records.

If you want to export the filters from your one Gmail Account and then you can import to other Gmail account, you can do that by enabling this feature under the Lab tab inside your Gmail setting.

More Info..

Gmail is the most popular email program used now. I just used the new feature. Earlier, we needed to attach files individually, but now you can select multiple files by holding the ctl key. This feature shows the status of the file upload also. I love Gmail because, they are always working to make it better and better. There are about 110 million users depending on Gmail for accessing their emails.

Google’s Official Announcement

Google Shared Stuff, the social bookmarking service that has never been officially launched, will no longer be available after the end of March.

Solution

"You can also create a public Google Site if you want to share websites and links with friends."
Why would you create a website when there are many services that let you share web pages? Google could also discontinue Google Bookmarks and then suggest to add your favorite web pages to a Gmail draft.

Google Shared Stuff to Be Discontinued

Saw a news on BBC stating that Gmail is down, but I was able to access without any problem. Seems that its not fully down, but in some part of the world. There are 113 million Gmail Users.

Professional users of Google mail are covered by a service level agreement that promises to be 99.9% operational in any calendar month.

Google browser Chrome for Mac is getting ready

Google’s Browser, which is becoming popular will have feature called extensions, like we have for firefox by May 2009.

"Learn how Google Chrome makes it easy to write extensions using the web technologies you already know. This talk will cover the basics of the extension system (distribution/packaging, installation, updates), as well as the different APIs to enhance with the browser."

I have been using Google Chrome since it was launched, but I could not leave Firefox for many reasons. I use many addons which is available only on Firefox and I am sure, you also would have felt the same, but its nice to hear that Google is going to have the extension feature for Google Chrome

Google is planning to launch another product called G Drive, concept is to store all the data online and access your data from anywhere in the world through your PC or any other PC connected to Internet.

Will you accept to store your all your data online, yes if you trust Google and its security, some may say no. Now the question is will this service be free and if free, how will Google be able to make money from this service. Will they be serving ads, or will they be limiting the free storage limit to some GB’s and after that you may be asked to pay a monthly subscription or you may have to pay for a ad free version? All these are guesses, but I am sure Google will come up with something which will be affordable for a common user. Google already has products like Gmail for emails, Google Docs for managing documents, Picasa for image editing and storing images online, YouTube for Videos. Anyway its not really going to kill the desktop, will Google will have applications to open all the files like an Autocad file. Gmail has now offline feature enabled which could be one step for the G Drive.

The Wall Street Journal said that Google could "shift tack or shelve plans for the storage offering" if it couldn’t successfully deal with the issues of "data privacy, copyright [think sharing], the economics of adding storage capacity and the technical challenges of offering service without interruption."

Google’s also reportedly trying to make the widgetry directly accessible from Windows, feel like a local hard drive and apparently make search transparent across Gmail, Docs and Picasa Web Albums storage Source – http://weblogic.sys-con.com/node/821846
