Google has come out with a new beta version of their popular Google Toolbar, with some very handy improvements on the old toolbar…

1) Simple API: The term API is almost a misnomer — it literally takes seconds to make one of these. I just can’t resist the urge to make a new one every time I run into new website. A couple of simple steps and voila - a new button’s sitting on your Toolbar (check out the Getting Started Guide).

2) Flexibility: The simple inclusion of RSS & Atom feeds (and particularly allowing the update of toolbar button icons through feeds) has allowed for buttons like a weather button and a mood ring button.

3) Accessibility: Most users don’t even need to make buttons. It takes one click on our buttons gallery or on a website that offers them to install a button for your favorite sites. And the custom buttons we built to search our intranet showed us how valuable a customizable toolbar can be to organizations, so now there’s an enterprise version of Google Toolbar that can be securely deployed across a company.

It’s a pretty nice upgrade, they even setup this library where you can download different buttons to your toolbar if you don’t feel like making your own, you can download it here and enjoy…
