Google Book Search now for mobiles

Sajid Iqbal — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:07:04 +0000

Terming it a step towards more universal access to books, Google announced Book Search availability for mobiles. Readers can now access Google Book Search via their cell phone just by typing http://books.google.com/m in their mobile browsers. Previously it was hard to read and access the Google Book Search from cell phones. This was due to the reason that Google Book Search is developed by digitalizing the book in to images. Now in Google Book Search for mobiles about 1.5 million of books that were already available for desktop users, are optimized for mobile users using OCR technology. Since OCR technology is not 100% accurate, there can be some typo errors found in these books.

Add Google Chrome’s “New Tab” feature in firefox

Sajid Iqbal — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 15:58:45 +0000

We know Chrome is a light weight and fast browser from search giant Google. Apart from other features Chrome has one very nice feature of listing frequently visited sites thumbnails in every new tab. This saves time for typing a frequently visited URL every now than. Basically this idea was derived from another browser Opera. Firefox has an Opera like add on to add this functionality. But difference between Opera ‘Dials‘/Firefox add on and Chrome’s is one have to manually add sites to these dials in Opera and Firefox add on. While in Chrome frequently visited URLs are automatically assigned to these dials. Same is the case with Google Toolbar bundled dials feature. You can download Google toolbar here.

7 reasons why I love google search

Sajid Iqbal — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 06:40:37 +0000

It’s been a long time since I used any search engine other than Google. Today I thought why not pay back Google a little bit with writing about my love for Google search. Following are the reasons why I love Google search:

1. Fast & Lightweight:

Seven years earlier when I liked to use multiple search engines, one thing I was really sick of, was the speed. Since I was a dial up user than, page loading and search results time was really important for me. During these 7 years Google never let me down in terms of search results speed & page loading time.

2. Accuracy/Relevancy:

Over these years every search engine has improved its search accuracy/relevancy to search terms but Google stands on top for me. I can search for paragraph length terms and still can get plenty of relevant search results.

4. Innovative:

Google always keep adding new things to its search engine. Over the years it has transformed itself from plain websites search to a giant which can search everything within dense World Wide Web(www). Image search, Video search, search within PDFs & other document formats are the few examples of Google search innovations.

5. Simple yet attractive:

From day one of my internet browsing, I am in love with beautifully designed sites. Beauty doesn’t mean heavy or too much graphics loaded sites for me. Simplicity and balance between page elements are two essential design values for me to rate a site’s beauty. Google has both these values fulfilled.

6. Fast Indexing:

Google indexes newly created web pages faster than any other search engine, means most relevant and updated search results for me.

7. Small yet effective utiliites:

I really love these built-in small utilities in Google search like currency converter, small calculations, match scorecards, unit conversion etc. Most beloved utility for me is currency conversion which provides me with always updated currency rates and precise conversion results. Match scorecards enable me to pull scores even if my internet provider refuses to open relevant scoring sites.
