Obviously Google aren't just a such engine any more; but what else do you actually use on their site, considering they have lots of options nowadays?

Chrome - All browsing
Calendar - Synced on all my devices
Picasa - Both hosting and software
G+ - For sharing images
iGoogle - Start page
Streetview - For communicating placements of signs to our workers
Translate - Bit obivous
gMail - eMail
Docs - Sharing documents

Also use google for conversions, but don't think they have a name for that.
You just type "4 feet in cm" in the search bar and it gives the conversion.
Same with currency "20 usd in gbp".

Chrome
Searching (obviously!)
Maps
Translate (occasionally)
Some of their API's (Graphs mainly)
Reader
YouTube

As Balling, use it for conversions, much quicker than entering it in a converter and choosing the values

Used to use Apps for Domains (i.e. Gmail) but I've moved over to Microsoft's hosted Exchange service (Office 365) as I think it's better.
