This is old news, but I only found out about it today and thought it was a pretty interesting service, maybe others who haven’t found out about it can find it useful as well.

Google hosts the following libraries for you:
* jQuery
* jQuery UI
* Prototype
* script.aculo.us
* MooTools
* Dojo
* SWFObject
* Yahoo! User Interface Library (YUI)

You can use any of these libs from your site through a Google loader.

<script src=”http://www.google.com/jsapi”></script>
<script>
// Load jQuery
google.load(“jquery”, “1″);

// Now you can use the latest jQuery normally
</script>

Google will update the libraries and they are released and they commit to hosting these libs indefinitely.

Find out more at the official Google AJAX libs API page.
