New Google Releases

There have been two notable release by Google this week.

1. Google released their own dictionary today.  Will Google start to carry the same weight as Webster?  You can reach it via http://google.com/dictionary

2. Google is now integrating Twitter into Google Friend Connect. Although Google friend connect has been implemented into many sites, it still lacks the weight and reach of Facebook Connnect.   Clearly the twitter integration is a move to reach more of the social graph and mount a solid competing identity platform to Facebook Connect.
