Google Weather and Gmail Additions

Google just can't go a week without rolling out new tools.

First off, you can now get weather forecasts by going to Google's regular web search and typing weather followed by your location. This location may be in city, state format, zip code, etc. For example, weather chico, ca gives the weather forecast for Chico, California. Sources say that the weather forecast feature only works inside the United States at the moment.

The other new tools deal with Gmail. First, Gmail can now integrate with Picasa, Google's photo sharing tool. There is also a new plain HTML version of Gmail, useful for browsers that don't have the JavaScript, etc. functionality required for Gmail's main interface. Users of unsupported browsers are automatically directed to the stripped-down version.
