Google launches its own dictionary!
Apparently google.com decided to launch its own dictionary without telling anybody about it:
http://www.google.com/dictionary
Enjoy!
PS: I prefer LEO, Cambridge Dictionaries Online, Merrian-Webster and Urbandictionary over Google's somewhat yet limited dictionary.
How to enable the New Google Search!
Apparently google.com has a new search design:
How to enable it:
- Go to google.com
- Copy/Paste this into your web browser address field and hit enter:
javascript:void(document.cookie="PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com"); - Reload google.com
Bear in mind, I have no idea how to revert this change. Still I like it this way much more!
Improve your search results with Google’s new Caffeine Sandbox!
A few days ago, Google released a new search engine infrastructure. Although you'll see nothing on the surface, because according to Google it operates "under the hood".
Yet deep down it DOES work differently and it most certainly delivers the promised improved search speed and better search results.
What does better mean? Well that's up to everybodys point of view, for me at least the newly structured search results are in fact way better structured than the old ones.
So without further ado, go on and test the new infrastructure: http://www2.sandbox.google.com
PS: Since it's in beta testing stage expect the new search engine to be down occasionally!
