This is my one reason to take a break from daily routine, Google and other search engines in general.
Karun Chandhok will drive for the new Spanish-based HRT team, formerly Campos Meta.
The team has not even conducted a shakedown test of the Cosworth-powered car after narrowly winning a race just to get it ready for the Bahrain season-opener.
“Really, if we can finish the race that will be a serious achievement.” Chandhok said in a telephone interview moments after a morning workout in the gym.
With Shumi back in the game Chandhok will have someone to follow around on the race track. i.e. if can keep up.
Also, when I am not rooting for Shumi I know whom I’ll be cheering.
I really hope he does well.
Here is a video when Chandhok won the GP2. Really feels good to hear the Indian national Anthem playing in the background with an Indian standing on the podium.
The results are very close to my expectation. I have always wondered why is it that many of Google’s own websites miss out on some SEO elements.
You can view their Report Card below or Click here to view and download the pdf.
Like GWMs say ‘These optimizations are intended to not only help search engines understand the content of the pages better, but also to improve the users' experience when visiting the sites.’
There is lot to learn from this report card. As if clearly mentions most of the aspects Google considers while displaying a website in its SERPs (Search engine result pages)
The donation was announced in a true social media style; via twitter by Jimmy Wales the founder of Wikimedia and Mitch Kapor from its advisory board.
However, the official announcement by both Google and Wikimedia will be made tomorrow.
I believe this is a sign that Google is embracing Wikipedia as the web’s center for knowledge. (And they might abandon their project 'Wikipedia Killer' aka Knol.)
Over the past year Google has been successfully trying to add Social features to its various products. Towards the end of last year saw the real-time search and the social search being integrated in Google search.
Couple of hours back Google announced its new addition to Gmail;Google Buzz. A Twitterlike application integrated into your Gmail with all your contacts following you. Google Buzz will give you an easy-to-use sharing experience that richly integrates photos, videos and links, and makes it easy to share publicly or privately.
The Mobile version of Buzzwill allow Geo Tagging your posts with location from where it is shared. This will allow you to paint a much better picture with your updates on Buzz.
Google is rolling out Buzzto all Gmail accounts over the next few days, so if you don't see it in your account yet, check back soon. Google Buzz will also be available to businesses and schools using Google Apps, with added features for sharing within organizations.
I am quite excited while waiting for my Gmail and Google app account to show the Google Buzz feature. My First Buzz
While you wait enjoy the videos of Google Buzz in Gmail and on Mobile.
Couple of weeks back Google posted a very informative post about a new tool from Google Lab called the Browser Size.
It can give you a basic idea about how much of your webpage is immediately visible to your visitor depending on the size of their monitor and resolution settings.
So, for all those who are designing their new site or are revamping their old one, this tool can be of great use to help you decide where to place your USPs.
Here is an example from the Website Optimizer homepage:
Click to see full-size
Now you can plug your site into Browser Size and you’ll get visitors perspective. Each band of color represents approximately how many visitors will see that section immediately upon landing (the seemingly shaky lines are actually a true representation of the visible area excluding the title bar, toolbars, etc).
So get back to the optimization grindstone, squeeze another percentage point or two into your conversion rate, and give all of your visitors the experience they deserve.
