New Youtube Mobile Site Is A Lot Better Than iPhone Youtube App! is a post from: SEO Blog And Technology

If your mobile device is facilitated with HTML5 compliant browser then you might like this news, recently Youtube released their latest mobile website version of Youtube Mobile Site. Since it’s the latest version which means they are more additional cool features have been added, such as; more user friendly interface, more responsive touchscreen, surely high quality video streams included too!

This newest mobile product was firstly announced and demoed at the press event on Youtube HQ in California focusing for m.youtube.com usage, which is becoming the popular “place” for mobile device to watch and upload Video to Youtube. It’s clear that the Google wants everything free or at least developed via browser, so it’s not surprising they put Google voice desktop app on delay

Back to the issue, just after the news published on Youtube official blog, people then start to compare between this Youtube mobile with iPhone Youtube app. After watching the official video demo, we can tell the different, Youtube mobile is way better in quality streams rather than iPhone Youtube app. According to Mashable the reason why Youtube for mobile is producing a lot better quality streams, because it’s designed for modern networks, while iPhone app still stuck on old stream format for second generation networks

Let’s the video demo of new Youtube new website:

Amazed? Well me too! This Google product makes iPhone Youtube app looks obsolete, doesn’t it?

If things go well in the future, I mean that the whole web is optimized for mobile displays, I believe not just iPhone Youtube app become obsolete but all of mobile client apps too. Beside we don’t need to download or install apps that do little more than re-pointing us to a mobile version of that same web site.

Google Voice Desktop Application Leaked Video is a post from: SEO Blog And Technology

Mike Arrington of TechCrunch made a demo video to demonstrate Google voice desktop app ability, in the video he called and received call without using headset – but used the internal microphone and speakers – but producing high quality call. The app was built based on Gizmo5 which Google acquired in November 2009

Unfortunately, Google put the application on hold as the two Google founders – Larry Page & Sergey Brin don’t get along with a product that is not web based – but people are expecting the application will be released soon for people outside US, let’s hope!

Here is the video of Google voice desktop app from TechCrunch:

Google Stop Censoring In China And China Feels Betrayed

Google Stop Censoring In China And China Feels Betrayed is a post from: SEO Blog And Technology

Google has officially announced to stop censoring their search result on Google China (Google.cn). The decision was taken as the follow-up for the sophisticated cyber attacked launched from China against Gmail accounts of human right activists which allegedly composed by Chinese government – accumulated with the series of attempts from China Government to block websites like Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Google Docs and Blogger in the past as the efforts to effectively limit the freedom of speech on the web in China

As the result of Google “stopping censoring in China”, now Google.cn users will be redirected to Google.com.hk, if they want to continue using the services – but without censorship of course. And it’s specifically designed for users in mainland China and delivered through Google servers in Hong Kong.

Hongkong users are still be able to use their existing uncensored, traditional Chinese service from Google.com.hk too. The consequence of this decision makes the service is temporary slow due to the increased load on Google’s HK servers or find some products temporarily inaccessible as we switch everything over.

China feels betrayed with Google’s stop censoring decision:

China government is feeling discontent and betrayed over Google recent and official announcement to stop censoring and withdraw their services from China:

“Google has violated its written promise it made when entering the Chinese market by stopping filtering its searching service and blaming China in insinuation for alleged hacker attacks,” said the official.

And China expressed its dissatisfaction toward Google’s accusations on “cyber attacks” issue:

“This is totally wrong. We’re uncompromisingly opposed to the politicization of commercial issues, and express our discontent and indignation to Google for its unreasonable accusations and conducts,” the official said.

Google Goggles Can Recognize And Translate Text In Photos is a post from: SEO Blog And Technology

Google has upgraded Google Goggles to understand text in photos and translate it, if this is the first time you heard about the name then here is the short explanation. Google Goggles is the Google new search technology that makes you able to search images using your smartphones camera.

Just take the picture you found interesting using your phone and then ask Google, if it knows then you will be presented with search results concerning the picture

And now Google has released new version of Google Googles and introduced it at the Mobile World Congress, feature offered by this smart technology is the ability to texts in the photos and translate them in over 50 languages

But wait up, so far, it only supports translate from German to English and otherwise, but more languages will be supported in the future, which are the languages listed in Google Translate

Unfortunately only Android based phones and Android 1.6 or higher are compatible with Google Googgles currently, so iPhone users, wait a little while until Google come out with another update

Now let’s watch the demo video of Google Googles in action on MWC

Way to go Google !

Google Buzz Is A Better Place Now

Google Buzz Is A Better Place Now is a post from: SEO Blog And Technology

After being scrutinized widely for privacy flaws found in Google Buzz, Google has decided to fix them this week, albeit I am very much sure that Google knew about the flaws from the beginning but kept them remain, because he knew people would talk and discuss about them thus it would give Buzz an extra exposure. The more people talk about it the better, right?

Let’s get back to the point, this week Google has made auto following feature no more! And Google replaced it with suggest model feature, thus it will give us a freedom whether to follow or not to follow the suggested contacts

And if sharing the lists of people you are following or who following you publicly is not your habit, then you can opt out at any time from the edit profile page.

Sure no body wants their Picasa or Google Readers accounts are automatically connected to Buzz, though Buzz only shared content that you set for public consumption or non Unlisted (for Picasa) or non Protected (for G Reader), but people think that this feature shouldn’t be there and to avoid spam, Google accepted the feedback and stop the auto connect feature too

The last feature added by Google is “Buzz Tab” with this; hiding or completely disabling Buzz from Gmail will be a lot easier, you can find the Buzz Tab in Gmail Settings

And another issue that you might want to fix is, perhaps disabling Buzz notification emails?

Google Buzz Notifications Should Not In Inbox

Google Buzz Notifications Should Not In Inbox is a post from: SEO Blog And Technology

After hanging around in Google Buzz for an hour, here is what I got, Google Buzz is a good place to socialize with families, friends or colleagues just like Facebook, in face it’s created as a response of upcoming of Facebook Email. But the thing I hate in Facebook is found in Google Buzz too, do you want to know what is it? The notification via Email, yes this one! Google Buzz’s notification of someone that responded my status is sent to my inbox, as the result, I am not just receiving notifications from Facebook now but from Buzz too

Now my inbox is full with notifications, since I have a lot of friends on those social networking services, not to mention notification emails from Twitter which have been active to sends me emails from someone that become my followers. But fortunately I am not popular in Twitter so I don’t receive notification emails too often from Twitter

So is not be better to notify users by icon number like this?

So there is no need to load notifications in our email inbox!

And the rest of features offered by Buzz are awesome, albeit, it’s too Facebook and then I would be more happier if my avatar appears each time I respond my friend’s status not just my name like this:

Then how about you guys what is your experience after using Buzz?

Google Upgrades Gmail To Challenge Facebook

Google Upgrades Gmail To Challenge Facebook is a post from: SEO Blog And Technology

There is a good and wise words I really like which is: If it’s not broken, Don’t fix it! this is happening to Google right now, it seems the known giant search engine takes Facebook’s plan to have web based email system seriously, yes too serious in fact, by which Google is currently adding social media tools to Gmail similar to Facebook has. So in the near future, our Gmail will have video sharing, incorporate photo and other file sharing capabilities, not to forget you can update your status too

So why would Google do that? Email is email! I don’t need social network functionality on my email, I believe most people use Gmail as it is designed, to open and read email, not to update status or such!

If Google feel heat about Facebook email, it’s better to improve Orkut make it more exciting because Orkut is a social networking, thus add the social networking tools there not to Gmail

Albeit I trust Google will always comes up with awesome things, but still it’s too much and there is no reason to take Facebook email seriously, so don’t fix anything which is already right

See you in the next post!
