Google is so cool. Yes, I turn to it for about anything I need to research a price on, get an address for, etc. And YES, I own their stock -- and like most people, I wish I had gotten more when it was cheaper.
Two of their apps I highly recommend if you haven't used them yet: Google Toolbar and Google Earth.
The Toolbar lets you search without having to go to their front page (you can do it from the page you're on). Really convenient. BTW, the Ebay bar is very convenient too.
And Google Earth is an app that lets you use satillite imagry to look at the earth. VERY cool. Search for addresses, or just use it for just looking for that new piece of Real Estate you're interested in. BE ADVISED that you need a broadband connection and about a 2BG processor to make it work well.
You can find both here:
