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.

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