Google Labs Cooks Up Two IE Toolbars
When Google has an idea for a fun or useful project based on one of their established properties, they will often categorize that project under the heading of Google Labs. Google Labs have been created on everything from search, to Gmail, to Picasa. And today, a new Labs opens its doors: Google Toolbar Labs.
Limited to the Internet Explorer 6 web browser, for now, Google Toolbar Labs debuts with two toolbar variations with different goals. One toolbar includes enhanced location detection and the other optimizes the toolbar for the Chinese character set.
Both toolbars are based on the standard IE Google toolbar and support the different standard features like Google Rank, toolbar buttons and more. But what they offer in addition is interesting:
Google Toolbar with My Location: This toolbar includes an advanced feature that can determine the general area the computer is in by IP address. It then uses this information in its enhanced Google search by area feature. If you are using a laptop with Internet Explorer already, this feature can come in handy by letting you quickly search the local area for the resource you need, even if you don't know exactly where you are.
Google Simplified Chinese Toolbar: This toolbar is pretty clearly geared toward Chinese IE users. It features a space-optimized layout better suited to the Chinese language and features a new sidebar mode for managing bookmarks. It also has built-in buttons for translating foreign-language web pages in to Chinese.
Google Labs promises that these are just the beginning for this new offshoot of their now widespread domain of Google properties. We hope so, because honestly we don't spend a whole lot of time in Internet Explorer any more, and it would be interesting to see if a new killer app toolbar came out for a different browser like Firefox.

I don't understand why Google would enhance the toolbars only on the Internet Explorer Browser. Not many people are using IE these days.

Google Toolbar Labs is a way for us to get new ideas out to you quickly so we can see if you like them. Keep in mind that Labs versions may be less stable than Beta versions and if an idea does not work out, we may not support them in future versions.
They should have launched it from IE7 ignoring IE6 since it sucks and is stopping the internet advancing.

GMI has created a niche by architecting and developing complex toolbar applications that can dynamically format themselves at runtime, based on the browsed web page, as well as modest one button toolbars. Smart and compact add on custom controls that are implemented within a toolbar, elaborate dropdown menus, scrolling windows, animated buttons, search text boxes, radio controls provide applications that service a wide variety of user needs. Based on a generic framework, these toolbars can be creatively customized to meet the specific business models and support a broad spectrum of platform combinations.
This is very interesting. There are further ways you can cash in and make money on the internet: Please visit my site Thanks
