POWER TIP

Better music information in search results

We have just introduced a new feature to help you better find music information using Google search. Now, when you enter a music-related query — like the name of a song, artist, album or a line or two of lyrics — into the Google search box, your search results will include links to an audio preview of those songs provided by our music search partners MySpace (which just acquired iLike) or Lala. This feature not only makes search better, it also introduces millions of music seekers to new sources of licensed music online.

Google Flu Trends

Google Flu Trends has expanded from four to 20 countries, including much of Europe. It's also now available in 38 languages. By tracking the popularity of certain flu-related Google search queries, we are able to estimate how many people actually have flu symptoms in a given location, in near real-time. While some traditional flu surveillance systems may take days or weeks to collect and release data, Google search queries can be counted immediately. Google Flu Trends provides an additional surveillance tool that may help public health officials and the public make more informed decisions about preparing for the flu season.

Introducing Google Building Maker

Here is a fun and simple online tool for creating 3D buildings in Google Earth, called Google Building Maker. This tool makes it possible for anyone with a web browser to make high-quality, photo- textured 3D models. It works like a very large, and very smart, collection of building blocks: By assembling the blocks to match the shape of your favorite building, you can make a whole 3D building in a few minutes. Building Maker is available for 50 cities and in 14
languages.

Google Wave opens up invitations to a limited preview

We've started sending invitations to preview Google Wave, a new tool that lets you communicate and collaborate in real time, to 100,000+ users. Developers working with Wave now have some new extensions and a roadmap for our APIs. Finally, based on early responses from Google Apps customers, we have also invited to a set of businesses and schools to preview Wave, and look forward to their feedback on how Wave might help with collaboration and productivity.

MISCELLANY

Recently we began a weekly series on the Official Google Blog reflecting the heart of our company: search. We're always making changes to improve your search experience, so we have gathered together the seemingly-small details of those changes in one easy-to- find place. We cover a wide variety of aspects within search — tools that webmasters can use to make their sites safer, our recent agreement with Twitter for adding real-time search results and how we've used our search technology to improve recommendations in Google Reader. As we continue to work on improving the search experience, we will keep you updated through this series and posts elsewhere.

Introducing Google Sidewiki

We're excited about the release last week of Google Sidewiki, a new way for you and others to contribute helpful information alongside any page on the web. Google Sidewiki is a sidebar in Google Toolbar where you can add text entries, links, and embedded videos. To make sure you see the most relevant entries on top, we use an algorithm to rank entries by quality. It takes into account your feedback as well as many other signals. We also have the first version of our API available to let anyone work freely with the content that's created in Google Sidewiki. Google Sidewiki is a feature of Google Toolbar for Firefox and Internet Explorer — support for Chrome is coming.

Place Pages in Google Maps

Last week we launched Place Pages. A Place Page is a webpage for every place in the world — not just businesses, but also points of interest, transit stations, neighborhoods, landmarks and cities. Each Place Page organizes information about that a place, including a summary, reviews, photos and videos, related maps and much more — all in one page. To get to a Place Page, click "more info" in either the search results or the display bubble that pops up on the map.

Picasa 3.5, now with name tags

With Picasa 3.5, the newest version of our free photo editing software, you can organize your pictures by what matters most: the people in them. Using the same facial recognition technology that powers name tags in Picasa Web Albums, it identifies and groups similar faces so you can add name tags to dozens of pictures at once. Then, you can do creative things with your pictures, like quickly find all the photos with the same two people in them, make a face collage with just one click, or upload and share people albums with friends. Picasa 3.5 also has integrated Google Maps for faster geotagging, and there's a totally redesigned import process so you can import photos and upload them to Picasa Web Albums in one step. Picasa 3.5 is available in English for both PC and Mac.

New Features in Google SketchUp

We just released Google SketchUp 7.1 with a bunch of new features and functionality to make SketchUp even more useful for everyone. We overhauled our rendering engine to make it faster, built in a connection to Street View imagery in Google Maps, and added support for even more 3D file types. Plus, LayOut 2.1 (which is included in SketchUp Pro 7.1) now includes a simple but surprisingly powerful tool for creating dimensioned drawings from your models; especially helpful for architects, woodworkers and other designers.

Recently, you might have seen our mysterious series of Google "doodles" (our special homepage designs) in honor of H.G. Wells, the author and "father of science fiction." These are just three of the many doodles that decorate the Google homepage to commemorate notable individuals and discoveries, holidays and events in history. Occasionally, such as for our 11th birthday this month, a doodle graces the Google.com homepage worldwide. Other times, a doodle appears on a particular Google country domain. But you don't have to travel to see all the doodles there are — we archive them for your viewing pleasure. You can also subscribe to a feed to see new doodles whenever the archive is updated. Enjoy!

Ingatkan xde la menarik sangat majlis buka puasa di masjid USM smlm sbb mula2 mmg x tau majlis apa dan siapa yg datang. Last minute decide nk pergi majlis ni, antara yg hadir ialah Raja Perlis (Censelor), Sultan Kedah, YDP Pulau Pinang dan x ketinggalan mantan PM iaitu Pak Lah. Agak unik sbnrnya bila 3 raja2 dari 3 negeri ada dalam satu majlis begini dan protokolnya mmg berjela2 la, ada yg berucap sampai berbelit lidah nk menyebut nama2 raja ni. Sempat la ambil beberapa gambar utk dikongsi. Inilah dia memori 090909.

Power Readers on Google Reader

Where do Arianna Huffington and Thomas Friedman go to get different perspectives on the news? Which economics sites does Nobel prize winner Paul Krugman read? What sites and blogs do the editors of Lifehacker, Boing Boing and Kottke read? In an effort to help people find great stuff to read in Google Reader, we approached leaders across a variety of fields and asked them what they read online. We got lots of great responses, which we've collected into our second edition of Power Readers. In this edition, we've expanded from Power Readers in Politics to include journalists, techies, fashion critics, foodies and more. We hope this will be a good place for you to find more great things to read, whether you're new to Google Reader or already have an extensive reading list.

Collaborate on Picasa Web Albums

If you've used Google Docs, you know that it makes collaborating on documents easy. We've just introduced a similar idea for photo albums — now, every album on Picasa Web Albums is potentially collaborative, meaning multiple people can add photos to the same album. Contributors' photos will be attributed to them, and they can rotate, delete, and add captions to the pictures they've uploaded. To make an album collaborative, click the "Share" button in Picasa Web Albums, select the people you want to share with and make sure the "Let people I share with contribute photos" checkbox is selected. When contributors visit your collaborative album and sign in, they just need to click the "Add Photos" button to start uploading.

Improved health information in search results

Now there are new ways to search for health conditions on Google.com. If you type in a condition, such as [asthma], into the Google.com search box, it will show you a new Health search result snippet and image with a summary of the condition and links to popular health sites like Google Health, Mayo Clinc and WebMD. If you click the Google Health link, you'll find a combination of information on that specific condition (such as overview, symptoms, causes, tests, diagnosis and prognosis) as well as results from Google search properties such as Google News, Google Scholar and Google Trends. So start searching today to easily get info about the health conditions you or a loved one may want to know more about.
