Google Instant Previews after Google Instant Search

I love to put an update about Google, as this is the best search engine in my opinion. Apart from this, Google is committed to simplicity and innovation, and due to that commitment we experience great features from Google time to time. 

I hope you all are aware of Google Instant search. (For those who are not - Google launched this service a few days ago. Your search becomes faster when instant search is on, because Google displays the search results instantly, as you type in the search bar. So you don't have to click the search button).

Now it's the Google Instant Preview that has been launched recently. When Google will display the search results in response to your query, there will be a magnifying glass at the end of each search result. You have to click the magnifying glass once and you are done. You have activated Google Instant preview. Now you just have to hover your mouse over any other search result and you will see the preview of that page, without visiting or clicking the link. Isn't it great??? It really is, as people use other services for previewing the pages, (I use CoolPreviews for example). 

The disadvantage I found here was, so small previewing pane that you can't read what is written inside the page. But as always.. Google will find a way out..

If you have not got this.. wait for some time, Google is gradually rolling this service for all users.

British Monarchy on Facebook

Facebook is becoming more and more popular these days. No doubt it is number one social networking site in the world, having more than half a billion active users around the world.  

Now the big news is that Queen Elizabeth has joined the Facebook. Yes... British Monarchy has created a Facebook page on last Monday 8th Nov 2010. The royal Monarchy wants to keep themselves up to date with the latest technology and they feel pride in that.

However there are certain restrictions for the users.. for example you can't send the friend request to Queen or can't access the details about Queen. The only option is to "Like" the page to get updates from royal family. Hours after the page went live on Monday, more than 50,000 people had liked it. At present the count has increased to more that 189,000. British Monarchy seems to be very active also, as within two days there are 29 albums and 39 links.

Now Google Launched Music Service For India

Google... The only name in search engine.. YouTube (owned by Google).. The only name in videos.. Gmail.. The only name in free email service... and many other great services that Google has provided us and made our life very easy. I am a great fan of Google and its services due to its ease of operation and simplicity and I bet 80% of you would be agree with me.. :)

Now the question is... what do you use to listen the songs online??? You might say songs.pk or desiweb.net or raaga.com or in.com or some might say youtube those who have got good broadband connection to buffer videos (or many more).. But how about if your Favorite Google launch its own Bollywood music service. 

So the great news for music lovers (like my friend Ashu) is that they can directly listen the Hindi songs from Google Music with simplest approach. For this Google has partnered with in.com, saavn and Saregama. Currently only Hindi songs are available, but we may expect songs in other languages too in near future. You can search a song by song name, artist name, movie name etc. 

The only disadvantage I found, there was no indexing and on the home page only a few movies links have been provided. But as we all know Google is committed to innovation so they will make it better day by day. Surely Google music is worth to try.

Go to Google Music by clicking here.

Enjoy listening the songs, but don't forget to subscribe the blog to stay updated. :)

Meet the Hunk: John Abraham - (Live video)

Hi Friends..

Today I visited to DLF Saket Mall in the evening. It was not my first time to this mall, but today I observed a very good number of footfalls compared to any other day. My curiosity ended when I came to know that John Abraham was coming there to promote his latest movie - Jhootha Hi Sahi.

Jhootha Hi Sahi (JHS) has been directed by Abbas Tyrewala, whom wife Pakhi is also in the opposite role of John. MTV star Raghu is also there in the movie. The movie was supposed to release on 15th Oct. but get delayed due to A.R. Rahman. He is busy with CWG work so couldn't do some final work on movie. Now it will be released on 22 Oct. 

JHS team is also promoting the movie on Facebook. You can visit the facebook page of JHS here.

Here are some pics and video recording of John in the DLF Mall.

Facebook : Find out who ignored your friendship request

Hi, this post is dedicated to all my Facebookaholic friends. 

 

Facebook is a great social networking platform, and we all are social animals..that's why we love facebook. We play Farmville, send gifts, share videos, like posts, comment on status messages and send friendship requests. We always want to be connected with all of our friends. But what if you sent friendship request to someone and he / she ignored it?? You never know who turned down your request or what is the status of your request. But after reading this you can figure out all this. Isn't it great??

Unfriend Finder is a great greasemonkey script, which will tell you the status of your friendship request . Once installed, this script embeds with the FB menu like other menu buttons and notify you  if someone denies your friendship proposal(the same way you are notified when someone comments on your link or status).

 

Above are some snap shots that how it changes your profile.

Ok Don't Jump with curiosity, just follow these simple steps to make your FB account different -

1. First you have to enable greasemonkey script in your browser. No need to panic with this name. You can install it in any browser, but I will tell you about my lovely Firefox. However you may get instructions for other browsers from here.

(i) Click here and click on "add to firefox" green colored button.

(ii) A pop up window will come asking for installation, click on install now button. After installing this you have to restart your browser.

Reality behind Reality Shows

Now a days there is a lot more buzz around Reality TV shows. Most of us really like to watch them with deep interests, but do they know the reality of reality shows??

Read on...

In simple language a Reality show is a series of TV program, which records and present the original, unscripted actual events and situations, usually by ordinary people. Well I am not agree with the definition. As you should have observed, recently in almost all reality shows, celebrities and professional actors are participating. Currently Big Boss 4 is being aired (and I see that people around me are mad for that :)) and who are participants?.. Shiney Ahuja, Chunky Pandey, Sara Khan, Manoj Tiwari and many more. (Its a bad news for Big Boss lovers that Pamela Anderson denied for show.)

So coming back to flash back, first reality show was Allen Funt's Candid Camera, that was aired in 1948. Till then numerous species of reality shows have evolved, like game show, talk show, fear show, adventure show, talent show, competition show, laughter shows etc. etc.... 

If we talk our India, the fashion here is, if something is hit, you will get the carbon copies of that instantly (that even in bulk). From past 2-3 years I am observing that all news channels are broadcasting comedy reality shows. There is a host, a few participants and 3-4 Judges. The Judges praise almost every participant, laugh boisterously on every performance and it looks like you are watching repeat show (however its better than watching Sas-Bahu serials..Oops.. sorry ladies).

People are crazy for reality shows. They think this is one of the fastest ways of getting instant fame.. I agree a bit, but can you guess the ratio of person who shine to who apply. Hits are on finger tips while you can't hold the rest crazy crowd in both of your arms. If you want to read how reality shows fool us, read this article from times magazine. 

So In my opinion most reality shows are full drama that is served to us based on the concept of "Jo dikhta hai, vahi Bikta hai"... What do you think?? Please share in comments, and also tell which  reality show you like / hate the most.

Zero Milestone... The Introductory Post

Saturday Night... 2nd October... International Non-Violence day... Peace Day... A Dry day... It was Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday. So it was the perfect day to start something new... Something Interesting... Something Inspiring and Something that can help others also (if they read of-course :) ), and that's how my journey of blogging started.

I got bored with that blue colored social networking website (Yeah, you guessed it right), means there is no point to refresh the news feed in every 5 or 10 minutes to check, if there is something new, but we all do that and curse that, and its addiction is greater than alcohol (check this interesting video), so I thought to be addict of something else... something of my own... my blog. (well to be honest, I can't let the facebook go away, so I have added facebook buttons on my blog too, as I love facebook :) ).

Finally I am not an expert in blogging, I am a science student, turned to a pharmacist, to an MBA student, to a Sales Manager and to a Researcher, So I request all the readers to share their views about any post, through valuable comments.

Ohh... Am I killing you with this speech note..?? Ok.. Last two words..

The End..
