In the first issue of GoogleSaurus, I would like to explain you first about GoogleSaurus. GoogleSaurus, is a series of posts which will have links to external blog posts, news or tools related to Google.
GoogleSaurus will not only help me but it will also help you as it will provide you the links to latest information related to Google and that too without making any efforts. I’d different plans with GoogleSaurus but for the time being I’m going to keep it running as the series of post. I may come up with a new logo for GoogleSaurus, however, I think my creative juices have dried up completely and due to which I was not at all able to make the new logo. There is no fixed time of GoogleSaurus, It will have at least 7 links to different stories or tools and whenever I’ll have enough posts or stories to link up, I’ll release the new issue of GoogleSaurus.
In the first issue of GoogleSaurus, we have :
1. Google shuts down Google Answers.
2. Researchers & bloggers want Google Answers service.
3. Google Reader gets updated once again.
4. Google Display Advertising Network.
5. Preview Gmail messages before opening them.
6. Google promotes WORLD AIDS DAY.
7. Google Audio Ads revealed.
1. Google shuts down Google Answers : Google has shut down the Google Answers service. It is good to see because this service was not at all doing good and was acting as a liability for Google. Although, the quality of answers on Google Answers were much better than found on other answer networks.
2. Researchers & Bloggers want Google Answers service : After Google decided that they’ll be closing down the Google Answers service, many bloggers, researchers are requesting Google not to stop this service. They want this service to continue and are making use of Videos, blogs to show their love towards this service. Here’s one of them :
3. Google Reader gets updated : This is not a link to external blog but it is what I’d noticed while using Google Reader. Google Reader now allows you to specify the folder, where you want to save the feed, while subscribing a new feed. It shows the full name of the feed, in case it fails to display the full name in the feed sidebar, due to longer name. There have been small improvements, use Google reader to find out more about it.
4. Google Display Advertising Network : John Chow gets invited for a new Display advertising network from Google and he discusses about it. However, Google clarified things with John Battelle.
5. Preview Gmail messages before opening them : Ionut Alex. Chitu, finds out a brilliant Greasemonkey script which displays the GMail messages in a preview bubble.
6. Google promotes WORLD AIDS DAY : Google support this noble cause. The JoinRED campaign is doing a nice work and for a social cause, Google decided to link them from their main homepage for 1 day.
7. Google Audio ADS Revealed : Philipp Lenssen finds another rocking news. Google is going to release Audio ads shortly, we already know that Google has dMarc as the channel to provide audio ads.
