Google Universe

What do you like about the Google product? What do you dislike? Would you recommend the product to friends and colleagues?

I mostly find myself using Google Books when I can't for the life of me remember where a passage I am thinking of came from. It's so convenient to be able to throw a close approximation of a phrase into Google and, with luck, come up with the source and get to view the context. I also find the books easy to navigate. The downside is the spotiness of the collection; and that most books have sections that aren't included, which means it isn't a way to read entire books. I would recommend it as a place to start when looking for a portion of a book, because of its convenience and ease of use, but it is not complete enough to be a counted-on resource.
