Google est devenu une véritable usine de production de services web innovants et de qualité, mais il y en a tellement que la plupart des internautes ne connaissent l’existence que de quelques sites !

Pire, parmi les services web de Google les plus populaires, la plupart des utilisateurs n’exploitent que très peu des fonctionnalités avancées alors que Google propose une richesse incroyable en fonctionnalités…

C’est pour aller à l’encontre de ce phénomène que Google UK (United Kingdom) a décidé de lancer une chaîne YouTube consacrée aux petites astuces à utiliser dans les services Google…

La chaîne “Things to do with Google” propose donc une multitude de petites vidéos expliquant des petites astuces a utiliser avec la plupart des services web de Google !
