Google launches a new bookmarking feature

Google has launched a web page plug in called What’s popular which gives iGoogle homepage users a similar service to those offered by Stumbleupon, Reddit, Digg, , Mixx and  many more social bookmarking sites.

Google's own servers select links from YouTube and Reader and blend them with those submitted by users. The gadget shows users these links along with up and down arrows to vote approval or disapproval of the site.

Lacking in the Google feature is any way users can comment on a Web page, one of the central features of Digg and its rivals.

I have added it to my iGoogle page on my Windows Vista. IF you are not able to do it for yourself or have any other computer problems, feel free to call us at 1800602586.This is a toll free number.

Google is the Winner of search market in US in 2008

I have recently installed Windows 7 beta and was wondering about MIcrosoft .... "what a successor Microsoft has launched"... Just wondering about its products like operating systems, internet browsers, search engine. I recently read it somewhere that it has had a fall of near about 85 in searches.

It didn’t come to me as a surprise, Today Google is ruling internet searches with 69.5% in the 2008 year. Amazingly it has increased by 8 % from the last year according to a survey done by Hitwise.

Yahoo was at second place with had near about 19. 2 searches, which has dropped from the search volume of 11 % (if we compare it to the last month), and the biggest shock came from Microsoft which dropped by 32%. This year searches made by Microsoft search engine were just 5.9%.

But if we look at data monthly then we can see that Microsoft searches has increased from last four to five months which gives hope to increase its searches in future.

Let’s see...Which search engine gets to the top this year.

Last Google Page rank Update on New Year’s Eve

Google has updated page rank on New Year’s Eve. Some are happy about it and so are not.  Matt cuts has updated it on his blog, "In case you didn’t see where I confirmed it on Twitter, Google recently did a toolbar PageRank update. It’s pretty much done now. If you want more info, I’ve answered questions about PageRank and the Google Toolbar in the past." and confirmed it on twitter as well.

It is the fact that the PageRank which is shown on the Google Toolbar is not enough to judge as to how Google ranks your site. A lot of other factors are involved.

Google teams with Norad to track Santa on Christmas Eve

Track Santa not only on Web but also on Your Mobile Phones this year.

This year special gift for everyone from Google, You can track Santa Claus this year… With the help of Google Earth and Norad. You can Track where Santa has been and where he is and where he will be going to next.

Google has teamed up with Norad, the North American Aerospace Defense Command. On Tuesday afternoon Google announced that this year everyone can track where will be able to track St. Nick's journey around the world using Google Maps and Google Earth.

 Stacia Reddish, a Norad Tracks Santa program manager said,

"The partnership between Google and Norad to bring the Norad Tracks Santa Program to children around the world has been a perfect fit, Google has the server power needed for the program, and the fabulous people required in the mapping arena to ensure children know where Santa will be as he makes his trek around the globe."

This won’t be the first time when people can track Santa, but this year they can tr4ack him on their mobile phones by  using Google Maps. And in twitter as well by adding @nordsanta.

Brian McClendon, an engineering director at Google writes in his blog, “I always thought Norad's Santa Tracker was a great holiday tradition, but I felt like it could have been even better if people could visualize exactly where Santa was on Christmas Eve, We're hoping this version of the tracker will be the best yet. In addition to our "Santa Cam" footage, geo-located photos from Panoramio will be viewable in Google Maps for each of Santa's stops that don't include video."

The tracking begins at 6 a.m. EST on Christmas Eve. Google noted that a Google Map with Santa's current location will appear at this Web address -- www.noradsanta.org -- and will be updated as his journey progresses. And people can track Santa in 3-D in Google Earth by downloading a special Norad Tracks Santa KML at this Web site. Google added that they will have hi-resolution Santa Cam videos of the jolly man flying by different locations around the world.
