Google India’s Internet bus – on its way creating buzz
In one of my earlier posts I was talking about the paperless receits initiative from TransactionTree. I was also wondering how and when this concept will reach the 1,018,057,389 Internet users. Well, on the flip side, I never thought about the remaining 5-billion people who do not have access to the Internet! Google India just [...]
Google gone weird – labels itself a malware site
I was Googling for some mp3 songs tonight, and I wasn’t able get through any of the websites listed on the search page. All of them were listed with a malware warning This site may harm your computer. I don’t know what Google was up to at that point of time, probably some upgrade gone [...]
Google Friend Connect – Socialize your site with four interesting gadgets!
When Yahoo acquired MyBlogLog last year, I was wondering if Google would acquire a similar company to add some cool Web 2.0-social networking gadgets to its portfolio. Finally, Google has come up with its newest socializing service called Google Friend Connect, that may enable a website to provide ‘social features’, and to increase its traffic (theoretically or practically!) by attracting more visitors.

Interesting and proactive search engine – Nuemo
Thanks to SL, who introduced me to this interesting search engine called Nuemo. Spinlet Oy, a Finnish company, is the brain behind this search engine technology, yet if you visit their home page, you don’t find Nuemo – Weird! Also, there is hardly any information about the company, its management team, detailed service offerings and so on. No wonder Nuemo doesn’t show up on Google or Cuil search engines. I believe that they have excluded themselves from being indexed by popular search engines – correct me if ‘m wrong!
