As we reported at Google I/O in May, Google has been working on offline versions of their three most popular apps: Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Docs. Google previously offered offline access for Gmail, Calendar, and Docs but leveraged Gears. But Gears is no longer being supported by Google as Chrome gains many of the same features via HTML5. And offline-acces functionality was limited. Today, Google is announcing that it has rebuilt offline access for these applications, in the form of a HTML5 Chrome web app. Gmail offline will be available today, and offline for Google Calendar and Google Docs will be rolling out over the next week, starting today.

Fresh on the heels of adding discussions to Google presentations and the ability to edit within the Google Docs Android app, we've been hard at work on a few other new features to enhance your Google Docs experience. All your comments--in one tidy place We just added the discussions feature to Google drawings, and today we're making it even easier to see a log of all of the comments that have been made whether you're using drawings, documents, or presentations. Just click on the "Comments" button in the upper right corner of the editor to see a complete history of your discussions. You can reply in line, resolve or re-open comments, link directly to a comment, or change notification settings--without ever leaving the "Comments" menu.

"Googleable. Definition:   being able to find information about something by using the search engine Google. For example, and from the video:  When was Custer's last stand? That's a Googleable question.  Questions that are "googleable" can be answered by simply doing a Google search.   Ask a question, the student types it into Google and bingo - the answer. Where do you stand with "googleable questions?"  Googleable assignments?  Appropriate, inappropriate, or it depends?"

Google Search has always been about finding the best results for you. Sometimes that means results from the public web, but sometimes it means your personal content or things shared with you by people you care about. These wonderful people and this rich personal content is currently missing from your search experience. Search is still limited to a universe of webpages created publicly, mostly by people you've never met. Today, we're changing that by bringing your world, rich with people and information, into search.
