It offers maps, calender, music, pictures all at one place and you can share them too with whom you like.

Google recently announced in their official blog that they are going to scan all old newspapers by partnering with the publishers and will convert them to e-papers in their original format. They will be accessible online and will be searchable at http://news.google.com/archivesearch.  Earlier, the only medium of information was newspapers before radio and television. So there are tons of info which are now out of our reach. Once these info are made accessible online, we can put our hands on valuable info and can check precisely what was the news on a particular day. Google, the master of online search has millions of webpages indexed in its servers and now with this they are going to index pages of history too. It is indeed a good initiative.
