Have A Google-Doodle Birthday

September 27 marks the birthday of Google, a multinational public cloud computing, Internet search, and advertising technologies corporation. The company was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin and was officially incorporated in 1998. Google turns 12 today and celebrate it with a new doodle.

Google's Birthday Doodle

Google has always been very innovative in carving their doodles and thus, providing information to the world. The new Doodle is a painting of a cake with a candle on it which represents ‘L’ of Google. Simple to understand and decipher unlike the ‘Bucky Ball’ doodle which marked the 25 anniversary of the discovery of the bucky ball.

The painting is made by 89-year-old Los Angeles artist Wayne Thiebaud carrying an accreditation that it is used with the permission of Visual Artists and Galleries Association (VAGA) New York.

Clicking on the Doodle does not take you to something specific but opens up search result for Google.

A very happy birthday to the giant search engine, Google, and thanking it for sharing information from around the world.

The ‘Instant’, A Catalyst for Google and YouTube

Google has finally unveiled and launched its Google Instant, a speedy new search offering that lets users search as they type. The search engine technology with Google Instant, predicts the queries of the users before them.

It’s real time search predicts the search query on the basis of popular demand. Google Instant presents its predictions before the user clicks on the search button. For instance, if the user type in the letter ‘W’ then the instant search engine on popular demand will take in the query to be ‘Weather’ and immediately shoot weather results. Well that’s speed.

'W' for Weather

Thinking about rest of the alphabets? Google has interesting predictions for other letters as well.

Google Instant picks up your query as you start typing with it, but this is not so much available if you are in a naughty mood. So you would not be  obliged with search results if you type in the words which are vulgar in nature. You would have to search that on your own, while the page appears blank.

When asked about  the impotency with sexy words of the instant search at the Q&A session , happened in the previous week, Google’s Johanna Wright, director of product management for Instant, responded that Instant Search’s inability to predict your sexy queries is actually a safety feature to protect children.

So if you think Google Instant is cool, then you really need to see YouTube Instant. A novelty toy built by a college student (Feross Aboukhadijeh of Stanford University), to provide much entertainment.

and not to forget the element of titillation.

YouTube Instant works on similar lines, it provides updated results as the user types, only in this case it’s the YouTube video that gets updated.

So how instantly you wanna try out the ‘Instant’? Do tell us your views.
