Google tool-bar

After a lot of hassle, I was finally able to install the new Google
toolbar for firefox on my Linux machine. Installing it was really
difficult. The suggestion given by google on its site was just not
working. Probably, this tool-bar is still beta and they are working on
it.
It was really pleasing to see the many features that have been
provided by this new version. Now, I can get rid of a number of
plug-ins/extensions and have just one -- google toolbar.
It has small buttons for calendar, gmail, video etc. Previously, I had
to use different extensions for doing all this. Then bookmarking can
become seemless with this. There is a send to button for sending a
page to gmail, blogger or even SMS. Moreover, it allows opening docs
and spreadsheets present online in Google docs. With so many features,
it sure is a winner. I can choose to forget all the heavy extensions
and all the trouble taken for downloading this toolbar :)
