A new timeline: News timeline

Interesting approach of Google: Putting searched content in a timeline. Try your own blog search or newspaper. Great stuff.

Google has a new voice

Not opened for everybody: Google Voice is a unified messaging service around phones with a live long phone number (and beyond, if you are Buddhist). Cool: Conferencing and transcript of voicebox. Not so cool: No pricing fee information yet.

Gmail depends you your View

Multiple inboxes is an intersesting feature being launched on Gmail. Rather than adding several accounts it shows your mail from different angles. e.g. sorted by different tagging. Personally, I would not use the feature as I try to keep my inbox to ZERO.

Google Earth adding Sea

Google completed Google Earth by adding the Sea. First impression: This is a water planet.

Google = Google – evil

Google has launched a website to check wether your ISP (the guys who connect you to the internet) are blocking BitTorrent. Do not ask me why they do this. But how about fighting against Spam? Gmail is one of the sources for it.

Google skips print ads

Game over. Google has announced to stop print ad business. This might be part of Google`s core business strategy that can be seen during the last months. But no reason for publishing house to smile and sit down. Financial Crisis and the melt down of print media will make them suffer enough.

Fluugle

Google hat begriffen, dass es eigentlich keine Suchmaschine sondern ein Social Echolot ist. Mit Flu Trends geht man dabei in eine neue Runde (Danke, Nico Luchsinger, wie immer grossartig). Anhand des Suchverhaltens der US-Bevölkerung wagt die Firma eine Voraussage zur nächsten Grippewelle. Sehr schön.

Ich freue mich schon auf Seiten wie:

Friday Evening Sex Trends (Fucktrends)
VoteTrends (Yeswecan)
Final Trends (Armageddon Trends)

Hellou, itta Gugi?

Finally, it is about voice on an iPhone. Google`s Voice Search has arrived. This will change the way we are using a search enginge. You simply speak your request into your phone, the phone will misunderstand you. And instead of a butcher you will receive a sex hotline connection to order your beef.

Alle Wege führen nach Rom…

jetzt auch mit Google Earth. Über die Story bin ich gestern im Tagesanzeiger gestolpert. Originär, zumindest als Zeitung, hat wohl die New York Times darüber geschrieben.

Das Video dazu ist fast so nett, wie selbst durch das antike Rom zu *schlendern*.

Und wer hat’s erfunden mitgemacht? Procedural hat etwa 7000 der Gebäude im Rahmen des Rome Reborn Projekts, das das Basisprojekt für die *Google Rome Tour* ist, gerendert. Chapeau Dominik @ Co!

Go to YouTube

YouTube plans to kick off Hollywood full length feature films. Naissss. Will this be the first pay cinema service? Nope. Advertising will do the job.
