Google Toolbar 4 beta

On Monday Google released Google Toolbar 4 beta which has a number of cool new features. The biggest new feature, in my opinion, is a bookmarks menu that's accessible from anywhere a la Foxmarks, but some might be uneasy about entrusting their bookmarks to Google's servers. The second big feature is the new custom buttons API that lets developers easily create little buttons on the toolbars that can do things like respond to RSS feeds and do custom searches—think of them as tiny widgets. Also new in Toolbar 4 is a smarter search box that'll suggest searches, alternate spellings, and results from your History as you type, and a new "Send to" menu that automatically drops the current page into Gmail, Blogger, or an SMS message. Google Toolbar 4 looks pretty cool, but there's one big caveat: For now it's only available for Internet Explorer on Windows. Boo.
