Cool stuff from Google Part 1
Google missed their numbers this quarter and their share price took an immediate hit :( ... here are the Google tips:
Online Dictionary:
To find the definition of any word. Enter define:wordtodefine where “wordtodefine” is the word you want to look up its meaning on Google’s search field on its home page and you are presented with a list of definitions of your selected word.
RSS reader to read blogs and RSS feeds
1. At the google home page. Click “Personalized home” at the top right hand corner of the google home page.
2. You can then add the url for the RSS feed of the url or select any of the popular feeds available
Google Personalized home:
In other to turn your classic Google home page into a portal, sort of like Yahoo’s MyYahoo. Follow step 1 in R.S.S. reader then Click “Add content” and add whatever content you want e.g Weather, Gmail or any of other content.
You can move the contents around by dragging and dropping them into any of the 3 columns
GMail…… 2GB of email and counting
Get a gmail invite from a friend on on ebay its now about a dollar, it started out at $100 more than a year ago . I still have gmail invites if you want one leave a comment.
One other cool thing about gmail is you can also subscribe to RSS feeds and it scrolls at the top of you gmail page. You can also search your emails very quickly and you have free POP access and email forwarding
Google Earth
If you have a really fast internet connection and a good graphics card then you can view satellite pictures of most parts of the world, I read that Kano State is life on Google earth I haven’t check it though. So if you have friend in North America you can actually see where he lives and in some cases if you look hard enough you can spot his car parked on the driveway, try mine 1939 Lee…
In the spirit of keeping my blog posts short from the comments I have gotten I will continue on another post………To be continued with Google desktop, Toolbar for Outlook, Google Talk, Picassa, blogger, Adsense and Adwords, Video e.t.c The list is endless
P.S Google is also in yoruba I know it’s no longer news but I thought I should drop that in and to let u know you can help them translate to your own language there is a link to languages on your Google personalized home page
