What is Google Labs?


I wanted to know what exactly Google Labs does for users like me. I decided this is a great opportunity to explore something I don’t know and share it with others.

According to a google site they tried to answer the basic question what is Google Labs?

Google Labs is a playground where our more adventurous users can play around with prototypes of some of our wild and crazy ideas and offer feedback directly to the engineers who developed them. Please note that Labs is the first phase in a lengthy product development process and none of this stuff is guaranteed to make it onto Google.com. While some of our crazy ideas might grow into the next Gmail or iGoogle, others might turn out to be, well, just plain crazy.

This is fun for the lab can actually grow into something we use daily. Based on everyone’s comments and concern with a project it grows to be something successful or another failed experiment.

Engineers and researchers build Google Labs. This is a way for Google’s Engineers and researchers to be able to show off what they have been working on. I just really like how they use our suggestions as guides to how to improve what they already have accomplished.
