Wow, a great list of features, isn't it? I would say that the one that I enjoy the most would be G-mail. I also like using google maps (which is also like google earth). One thing that is missing on the list that I think you may want to include would be google adsense.

Well, I actually love almost all of the services provided by Google but if given a choice...in what exactly I want to choose and rate as the best..then it will be GMAIL! The reason I've chosen GMAIL is that it gives me almost 3 features in one service :
1. the email
2. searching the web
3. web clips..so i get to see the news from there itself!

Now, because it combines all these three things in it..it becomes the best of the lot!

And this is for topic starter..If you want to add GOOGLE ADSENCE in this list..then just use the report button and MODS will make the change!

Well I don't have only one favourite google feature. I would have voted 3 times if I were allowed, but since I am not I will post them here.

1. GMail (Maybe -and that's a big maybe- not the best one, but it is great) - I prefer Yahoo since I use it for over 6 years and all my friends have my Yahoo ID.
2. Google Earth - is in my opinion THE BEST feature that google has! The maps should be updated more often and have a better resolution for the place that are not so important (like my country )
3. Search Engine - The best search engine from the world wide web! I used Yahoo at the beginning, but since I moved to FireFox and Opera I only use Google (If you ask me I can't find any big diferences between Google's search engine and Yahoo ones)

I was shocked to see that 80% voted for Gmail. I too.

The reason is Google search has been totally commercialized. Add your site in MSN suggest and Google, just see how many days it takes google to show url:http://yoursite.com

MSn shows it in 7 days. Their search has been much better from past. So its time for a shift.

However, Gmail is in leap and bound better than any other free mail services. and an increase of 4 bytes per second to your mailbox or 42.2 KB per day, equivalent to 4 regular mails from your friends. Excellent Idea. Their Bulkmail is much robust. Filters almost all 'via*ra mails'
Yahoo fails to filter mails with gif images (spammers have changed their strategy).

Hope Gmail doesn't become commercialized as AOL.

I would have to say that Google search is my favorite Google feature. First off, it is the backbone of Google. Without Google Seach the rest of Google's great services would have never been created. Google Search is also a great way to find the information on the internet that you need. Without Google Search you would have to search through pages on other seach engines to find the information you are looking for. All the other features are great but can not compare.

Basically their main thing is the search feature, so I would choose that, the gmail part is pretty good, but there's where I mostly research, but sometimes I use Yahoo, because its my homepage since I use their internet, so sometimes I think I get better quality... lol if that made sense.

I use GMail more than I use the search feature from Google, so I voted for that. Also, if you compare their services to similar ones, GMail is much better than email services from others, but they are catching up on the search functionality. Also, Tahoma search often provides more accurate and useful results.

I like all the features of the Google.But some of them have high preference than other.

My most preferred services or features of Google are,

GMail - My EMail provider for the past 2 Years
Search - I begin my search for anything here
Blogspot - Enables me to keep my online activity up to date

I use Gmail on a day to day basis, but Google Talk (the desktop client with VoIP capabilities) is 20 times cooler. It's also much sleeker than most other IM clients (and even installs on a non-admin user).
