Google, Google, Google

Now google maps does Great Britain. We knew they'd expand beyond Great U.S. -- The United States and Canada -- so the fun question was who'd be first.

So who'll be next? Votes?

This one, however, is novel: Google will now, once I sign in, keep track of my personal search history. And in interesting ways. I'm looking forward to exploring this.

The sign-in works across Google services. For example, once I've signed in to Google's search history, I don't need to sign in to gmail. Unfortunately, I still need to sign in to blogspot.com.

(I'd say "login," but Google's smarter than that. I'm told non-geeks think "logging in" is some weird thing only computer professionals do.)
