Google adds local search feature

Posted: 28 Feb 2010 07:22 AM PST

Twitter went local or rather it has tried to show local trends which I felt was a great way to get the dirt on what is happening locally. Well we could not expect Google to sit idly and look at other website steal the thunder when it comes to local search. So now we have a search option with Google called Nearby.

Google “Nearby” Results

When you carry out a search on Google clicking on ‘Show Options‘ lets you choose and filter the search results.
Here you will see the opting to click on ‘Nearby‘ and it gives you localized results.
This is quite useful as it does not really rely on social networks to give local results.
This feature is not available as yet with Google.co.in and I think its only available for North America.
In the image above I looked up the word university. Clicking on nearby got me results taking my location as New York which is what I put in.

Overall I think this is meant for people searching for information locally like looking up places of interest. So what do you think about so much emphasis websites are laying on going local. Do you think it is viable or actually useful? Do you think other than maps and road directions you would actually want to search for local results? Do drop in your comments.

Windows 98 still going!

Posted: 27 Feb 2010 10:44 PM PST

I saw a rare PC the other day… It was running Windows 98.

The customer was using dial-up internet, and was using the PC mainly to write a book, and to send/receive emails.

Now, I was called out because she could not get the specific emails she was expecting or any others.

As I suspected, the emails were timing out because there was an inbound message with a large attachment.

Given the limited knowledge of this customer, explaining how to use a web browser, and then logging into her webmail account in order to delete the large emails, was just not possible.

I could see that even explaining the relevance and relationship between Kb and Mb was going to be near impossible.

So now the customer could get another friend inadvertently send her large attachments, and the process will repeat itself.

The solution is to get broadband… but to get Broadband, you need a new PC that can make the most of broadband speeds.

So now the customer is in a strange situation, where, if she wants to receive large attachments, she needs to upgrade her internet connection, and buy a new PC.

Five Gmail Labs Features Fail to make it

Posted: 27 Feb 2010 03:07 AM PST

Some of the Gmail Lab’s less useful features made it to gmail while the useful ones failed a test that never happened! Though, Google had to say that the choice to upgrade and retire features was made on user feedback and usage, but it doesn’t look like the same. Here are the Gmail lab features that you won’t see anymore-

Muzzle

This feature made it possible for gmail users to conserve screen in sidebar chat in Gmail. In simple words, it was meant to “cut the crap” from chat menu, by hiding your contact’s chat status messages. Now you can again see a cluttered version of gmail chat menu!

To protest against this, people have started signing a petition to get back muzzle, and a twitter account has also been made for the same- @GmailMuzzle

Email Addict

This feature encouraged users to take a break from email. “Closes Gmail for 14 minutes”, providing much needed break to Gmail addicts. May be Google didn’t want you to to loose any time looking up their ads!! And for this, they retired such a nice app.

Location in Signature & Random Signature

Both these features automated the signature processing in your mails. More info on these features can be seen here.

Fixed width font

It is often annoying to see random font changes in your mails. This feature kept your messages on a fixed width for paragraph breaks, double spacing and more.

Do you miss any of these features? No need to worry! You will get similar value from the Grease-monkey scripts too. Like, if you enjoyed the Muzzle feature, you can use the script – Gmail Muzzle Lab Reviving.
