Title: Google Transit Japan Is Here... OR... Marry Me Google

If Google was a woman I'd marry her...


that's right, you heard me, if Google was a woman I would marry her. Ahhh, if only... IF ONLY!


Anyway, back to reality.

Google has just launched a great program for anyone commuting in Japan.

It's the Japan version of Google Transit and it is awesome!
Check it out, it's at http://www.google.co.jp/transit



And unlike the other versions of Google Transit the Japan version does not only cover a few parts of Japan it covers the whole thing.

Here is a pic of a route from tokyo to kyoto:

This tool is a great way to get to info about your commute (train times, transfer stations, alternative routes, duration of trip, etc. etc. etc. ). And since it is connected to Google Maps you can check out train station surroundings (like conbini s, stores, and restaurants). And it works on your mobile phone!

Since this new tool is so cool it is our next hot search, check it out.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

p.s.
If you read Japanese here is Google Japan's post

New Email Addresses ala Google Apps !

-This post is especially for any of our readers who are also bloggers/webmasters and have their own domain name-

If you haven't read it on one of our other posts we are huge Google groupies. We loooove Google! And now they have given yet another reason for lovin' them.

"Google Apps for your domain"

Here is a link and quote from them:
"Google Apps
You can get up and running quickly, even if you don't have technical resources. New! Try Google Apps Premier Edition for free through April 30th, 2007. ..."

So, if you are out of the loop (or don't know that there is a loop :), you are wondering, "What is Google Apps"
Well among other things it gives you Gmail accounts for your website email. So now I have a gmail account (with all of the really awesome labeling, searching, kicking butt features of gmail) but it ends with nipponster.com. How cool is that!!

My new email account is "toritaiyo AT nipponster.com" I'm going to set up Keitaro and James with accounts too.

If you love Google too drop us a line.
