Google is the most widely used search engine on the web, but this beloved site is also home to a number of other helpful features. These impressive tools will have you rethinking how you spend your time on Google.

Google News
Since Google gives you access to all of the best websites and sources of information on the web, it only makes sense that it would also give you top breaking news stories as soon as they happen. Google News pulls the top headlines from other news sites across the country and around the world and compiles them all into one convenient place.

Panoramio
A division of Google Maps, Panoramio is a photo sharing website that allows users to view photos and upload their own from places around the world. Simply drag the Google map until you find a place of interest or type a location into the search bar and explore photos of aerial views, scenery, and local hotspots in that area. 

Google Trends
Find out what Google users from around the world are searching for with this in-the-know feature. Google Trends details the most searched people, items and events from around the web, and it even creates charts with categories like actors, books, fashion brands and games to see what the top searches are.
