As I've been researching the Exhaustive List of Google Products (now up to 256
items), I was looking at the Google Services and Tools Page.
The page contains a number of product icons, which are arranged is a single large
image map.
Interestingly, there are icons in the image map that do NOT appear in the page.
I've found what a few of them are by looking at the CSS file that styles each of the
images. There, each icon is given a 4 character name (e.g., the icon for Google
Alerts is called 'ALER'). With that as a clue, I was able to determine:
265.com is a Chinese site with links to common web
resources. Google aquired them a few years ago and they link to them from the Chinese Google home page.
Music Home - a Chinese site with
links to music.
MOBA - I think this icon represents Mobile Applications
But there are other icons I've not yet been able to identify.
Anybody have any idea what products these icons represent?
GURU - This might be an alternate icon for the defunct Google Answers, but there is another "Q&A" icon
in this set too - so I'm not sure that it is. Found (11/27/09) - Q&A Forum is available in Thailand (Guru), and Russia (Otvety "Answers")
REBA - Is that an asian script in the logo? Found (11/27/09) - Rebang (China) - "Hot List"
CLAS, SHEN, TRAD - There are 3 distinct names used for this logo. It looks a bit like a classifieds icon with little strips of paper you can tear off like a
posted notice. Found (11/27/09) - Shenghuo (China) - "Life Search", also in Russia (Classified Ads).
TEXT - ???
TOPI - Topics?
Update (11/27/09): I found two of these icons on the China Services and Tools Page.
