A bunch of stuff you can do with Google

Google launches Google Tips, a site to help you use its 13 consumer products.
The search giant has launched new website called “Google Tips.” It's full of quick pointers for making better use of Google services such as Chrome, Google+, Google Maps, Google Drive, Gmail, YouTube, and of course Google Search.

Find a card you like and flip it over to learn more. You can share your favorites with friends and even suggest tips for google to add.

For instance, one tip explains how to add Google Drive attachments in Gmail, allowing for files up to 10 GB. Another tip describes how to install Android apps remotely to your phone or tablet from a web browser. Each tip presents itself in a slideshow format, showing a different image for each step. Most tips take just a minute or two.

The tips are worth checking out, though power users will probably be familiar with most of them already. In that case, Google is letting users submit their own tips, and promises to add more over time.
