Google Powermeter is a monitoring tool that allows residents to track real-time energy consumpion in their home. It is an application available on the user's personalised iGoogle homepage which translates the information to easily-understood lingo for residents to see how much they would save by altering the thermostat or how much it is to keep the TV running.
Internet search engine Google is developing a monitoring tool that will help families to track their home energy usage and save money.
The new software tool called Google PowerMeter studies consumption information transmitted from advanced energy meters or 'smart meters.'
Google engineers believe Google PowerMeter could save users up to 15 percent on their monthly bills hence reducing emissions to combat global warming.
Google recently launched Latitude which allows users to stalk others via Google Map, what's next, Google Cars?

I think Google is closing in on Kiss for having the most products or services with it's name on it.
I say this but I use Gmail, I have the Google Apps bundle on my Blackberry and I use Google Earth to kill time in class. If I wasn't renting an apartment I would most likely have this feature by now.
