Mere hours after today’s announcement that Twitter would now be integrated with Microsoft’s Bing search engine, Google has annouced that it too will include Twittter updates in its own search results. Marissa Mayer, Google VP of Search Products and User Experience, writes in a company blog post. Given this new type of information and its value to search, we are very excited to announce that we have ted murphy reached an agreement with Twitter to include their updates in our search results. We believe that our search results and user experience will greatly benefit from the inclusion of this up-to-the-minute data, and we look forward to having a product that showcases how tweets can make search better in the coming months. That way, the next time you search for something that can be aided by a real-time observation, say, snow conditions at your favorite ski resort, you’ll find tweets from other users who are there and sharing the latest and greatest information.

It’s worth noting that while Bing’s Twitter search is live today, it sounds like Google will be working Twitter’s data into its search results over the next few months.The next question is whether or not Google will get access to Facebook’s stream of real-time updates (Microsoft announced deals with both Twitter and Facebook at today’s Web 2.0 Summit). Neither of Microsoft’s deals with Twitter and Facebook are exclusive, which leaves the door open for Google to pair up with Facebook as well. But Google and Facebook have butted heads in the past. And Microsoft has a long history with Facebook: the companysupplements Facebook’s search with Bing results, and it controls a small stake in the company after investing$240 million at a sky-high $15 billion valuation back in late 2007.

Google is a big fan of minimalism,which is known to everyone of us, especially when it comes to its famous homepage, Google tries to keep its word count in its homepage down upto 28 words, but it might be up to around 30 words. Experiments are being done by Google by taking that concept to a whole new level.This means that, bucket testing is done by the site to induce a new effect which hides everything on the homepage of Google aside from the search box and Google’s logo, only revealing the rest of the navigation elements with a nifty fade effect when you move your mouse. Some omissions from the homepage with the fade effect can be noted easily, especially the site’s “Google Search” and the famous “I’m Feeling Lucky” button are both missing and can be noted very easily. But,there is another screen shot in which these two buttons appears, so it seems that Google is testing multiple versions. Don’t worry as you don’t have the new, streamlined page, this is nothing but, a part of Google bucket test, this means that only a small subset of users have access to it.

There are about millions of blogs on the web and this makes sense of all these user generated content would be a challenge. This problem can be solved by offering a competion based discovery platform which is capable of aggregating the contents from bloggers for readers to sift through topic or subject matter. BloggersBase is mainly made up of blogs which have multiple authors, these blogs covers a variety of popular topics and the contents are submitted by the writers in the blog, after that the posts are read and rated by the readers.The contents are rated by the readers based on the writing style,
presentation, professionalism and value. As the posts in the blog get high ratings, it rises to the top of the page. There is a profile for each blogger, where the writer is rated based on the number of posts and popularity. BloggersBase hopes to monetize its contents, by offering a premium user generated content discovery and delivery platform for media companies to help sift through and organize citizen journalist’s content. The idea of BloggersBase, when comes to its white label seems to be most attractive. A mechanism is necessarily needed to sift through the millions of blogs in the Blogosphere.The most significant challenge for BloggersBase is to attract the notice of blogs and the readers consistently.The site will not draw any of the engaged readers without any compelling content.The media companies are in corporating UGC into their news platforms, it will be better if BloggersBase could provide a alternative way to the media companies to sort through the content.

In the begining of this month a Facebook application for Android was launched, this is a much anticipated Facebook application specially designed for Android. Even though it is a official release ,as said by the company, but a news came out that this application was not released by Facebook, but Google has built this application themselves,as they thought that having a Facebook application was more important to them. In this Facebook application there is no messaging facility, just the news stream is displayed and it has a ability to post status updates and we can take/upload photos to Facebook. The cool stuffs which are available in Facebook 3.0 application for iPhone users are not yet available in Android. But,the application runs fast in Android when compared to iPhone. In iPhone many people goes to Facebook through browser as the application was too slow to use.But the application in Android is more quick as it can do three or four functions quickly without a single problem. Another wonderful feature is that,notifications of new events can be viewed upto date, as Android application has the ability to run in the background,even though you are not actively using the application you can see this stuff in the background.Below there is a video demo about this application.

Google continues to update it’s search experience through the algorithms and the way by which the results are displayed.But,the search box of Google was left alone without any update for long years except the fact that drop down were added for suggested results.The search box had a thin input field all these years.But now,Google thinks to make a change in it’s search box, especially the size of the in.Last week,when I was using Safari browser,I noticed that the search box appearing bigger to me than the previous one. I thought that it may be a fake to my eyes,but when I noticed the buttons,all buttons were square in shape,then I thought that, definitely there has been a change and found that Google has updated it’s search box.I am not the only person who noticed the change but there are many.It is a trivial update made by Google, as millions of people use Google for performing searches everyday.Just notice the  previous Google search box which is below and see the difference from the new one which is above.This change first took place in Safari and slowly many reports say that it had been noticed in Firefox too.The Vice president of Google also confirmed about the update that has been made by Google in the search box.For more Google news visit Yongl.

This is really a great news for the people who used Firefox and switched for Chrome recently,but these people were using Chrome all the day without any extensions in Chrome. Last week, Google has announced that extension support was turned from now in all the developer versions of Chrome  of  Windows by default from now onwards. Before,extension support in Chrome was hidden largely and only few extension can be used with Chrome now and others are yet to be added.Few examples has been compiled by Google in a list,these examples includes simple things in Google Reader button such as auto-subscribe for URL’s and Gmail inbox checker. This is the first step by Google in its “launch process” for the Chrome features. I think that this feature is worth nothing,  as Chrome’s regular users are still using only version 2x,whereas the developed releases coming now are in 4x versions.So,it is not clear that Google will turn on extensions atleat in 3.0 version of Chrome (Chrome3.0) and whether it becomes official,right now beta version of it is available .Google has enlisted some help features to speed up the extension of Chrome builds on Linux and Mac. Extensions in latest build of Chromium has not been highlighted on Mac, but by putting “chrome://extensions/” on the URL you get the extensions.
