Google’s visual search tool for mobiles
Dec 8th
Google has launched a visual search tool for mobiles that allows people to search with a picture rather than words.
Google Goggles, a free augmented reality application for Google Android mobile phones, allows people to search for information on anything simply by taking a photo of that object. The application can recognise tourist attractions, famous paintings and even company logos, and users only need focus their phone’’s camera on an object, and Google compares elements of that picture against its database of images. When it finds a match, Google will tell you the name of what you are looking at, and provide a list of results linking through to the relevant web pages and news stories.
Google Real Time Search
Dec 8th
Google Real Time Search unites the frequent updates made by users of social sites Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace with Google’s general Web search results. Now, instantly after carrying on a search, one can see live updates from people on popular sites like Twitter and FriendFeed, as well as headlines from news and blog posts printed just seconds before. When they are germane, Google rank these latest results to show the freshest information on the search results page.
As informed on the Google official blog, “Our real-time search enables you to discover breaking news the moment it’s happening, even if it’s not the popular news of the day, and even if you didn’t know about it beforehand. For example, in the screen shot, the big story was about GM’s stabilizing car sales, which shows under “News results.” Nonetheless, thanks to our powerful real-time algorithms, the “Latest results” feature surfaces another important story breaking just seconds before: GM’s CEO stepped down.
Click on “Latest results” or select “Latest” from the search options menu to view a full page of live tweets, blogs, news and other web content scrolling right on Google. You can also filter your results to see only “Updates” from micro-blogs like Twitter, FriendFeed, Jaiku and others. Latest results and the new search options are also designed for iPhone and Android devices when you need them on the go, be it a quick glance at changing information like ski conditions or opening night chatter about a new movie — right when you’re in line to buy tickets.”
