You might miss to include a friend in a mail but GMail is going to suggest you whom all you could include based on what you have in the To/CC list. The suggestions appear in a hyperlink and you can click to add. The logic is recent and common. So if you add a@abc.com then it would suggest you b.xyz.com, c@abc.com and other. Now if you select b@xyz.com now it would suggest the names common to a@abc.com and b@xyz.com which might not include c@abc.com.

Go Google - The wiser Google
Google is growing wiser with its age. It is becoming more intuitive so more helpful.
Say you want to search for "Cinema". No need to add your location to the search string. It gets your location from you IP and then displays results for that location (location based search). In case you want to search for a different location you can either update the location to on the left panel or may add it to the search string.
At the very top it will display the show timings for various movies and various theaters near you. In case you enter a movie name it will display the show timing of that movie running in theaters near you. It will also display video clips or song links. It will also display a map results for theaters near you. Simple isn't it!
Earlier at the top it would have displayed a wiki link describing what is "Cinema"! Only few needed that.
Now if you want to try the same with the word "fruit" you have to wait for some more time. One hypothetical situation could be. A "street hawker" tweets/buzz that he is selling Bananas in 17 street, NYC and someone from 17 street googles for fruit and gets an answer, Bananas: "Go out from your apartment. 3 steps to your left" :)

Go Google - Up-Down arrow key navigation of the search results
This feature is a Keyboard lovers delight. Now you can navigate the Google's search results using Up-Down arrow keys. You might have observed a cute little blue colored arrow marking a search result. If not yet! then please find it now. If you see this arrow you can use Up and Down arrow keys to navigate through the search result and press enter to open a particular selection. Cool isn't it! and also better than the usual tab thingy.
If you do not see this arrow then you might need to press tab one or two times and then the up arrow get it back.
Happy Googling :)
They ask me, what if Google was NOT there? I say, there should have been something else from the "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" :)
