POWER TIP
Translate and convert currency using Google SMS By sending a text message to 46645 in the US, or 64664 in the UK (GOOGL or 6GOOG, respectively), you can translate a word or simple phrase into French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish - to or from English. Just enter 'translate' or 't' followed by a word or expression, and the languages to and from which you want it translated ( e.g., 't gas station from english to german'). To convert from one currency to another, simply enter the conversion you'd like completed (e.g., '3.5 USD in GBP').

NEW PRODUCTS

Froogle local shopping
Sometimes you're just looking for the best deal online, but sometimes you need to head to a nearby store to feel the goods. Froogle offers both options. Search for "digital camera New York" and click on "Local Shopping" or "Online Shopping" to toggle between the two result sets. Going local is especially great for things you want to physically handle or don't want to have shipped.

Google Base
Google Base is a place where you can easily submit all types of online and offline content that we'll host and make searchable online. You can describe any item you post with attributes (the words or phrases that help describe the characteristics and qualities of your items that will help people find them when they search Google Base). And based on the relevance of your items, they may be included in the main Google search index and other Google products like Froogle, Google Base and Google Local.

Music Search
Some of our specialized searches can deliver a subset of results at the top of the page which highlight the most relevant information for that kind of query. For example, a stock quote search will yield a chart at the top of the results. Or look for a current film and see theatre showtimes up front. In this same vein, now you can search for a popular musical performer and often Google will show some information aboutthat artist (cover art, reviews, and music store links where you can download or buy). Right now this feature works best for artists popular in the U.S., but we plan to expand it.

New Firefox extensions
We have two: One alerts you if a web page you visit appears to be asking for your personal or financial information under false pretenses. This type of attack, known as phishing or spoofing, is becoming more widespread. Google Safe Browsing combines advanced algorithms with reports about misleading pages, and is often able to warn you automatically when you encounter a page that's trying to trick you into disclosing personal information.

The other is Blogger Web Comments for Firefox. This makes it easy to see what bloggers are saying about a page you're viewing in Firefox, and even make your own blog post about it, all without leaving the page you're on.
