T3 Google Toolbar
It's the terminator of toolbars, it is Google T3, nominally still in beta. It will wash your dishes, take out the clothes, and babysit. (We wish!)
Seriously folks, it does everything the old Google Toolbar did and more (although still only in Internet Explorer). New features include a word translator (when you hover over an English word it can be displayed in a variety of languages, see Building Research Tools with Google for Dummies for information about pre-T3 Google translation services), a spell checker for text you enter into HTML forms, and an Autolink button that provides contextual information (maps for US addresses, tracking number info, book information if you enter an ISBN, and so on). Note to Google: the maps are cool, but you get my address wrong, insisting I am in "Albany" when in fact I am in Berkeley.
Don't these folk at Google ever stop working? Great stuff. Now if only it worked in Firefox, too (hint, hint if anyone at Google is reading this)!
