ViruRulez Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Just checked Google and good improvements. Image search was already there and I remember I had a firefox extension for the same where it could find similar images of different sizes on uploading the image. It was called tineye perhaps. So, not a new function for the web though Google has made it more informative with their web search combined. The second voice search feature is already available on phone and it came natively with my phone which I use often when I am surfing on phone. So, not new as mentioned in the video. But I dont see practical use in a computer. For a phone typing is not so fast but in a computer it makes more sense to type the search instead. And it takes a few seconds anyways to recognise what you said and to bring the results. Many of the features are directed at Chrome it seems especially the second and third video. It seems Big G is serious about Chrome and it is doing well too. In the extremely competitive browser market Chrome has already neared 20% market share among browsers. There is also rumour that most popular Linux distribution Ubuntu might ship Chrome instead of FF in the future. So, it looks only good days for Chrome ahead. The extensions are also coming up quite well.
ganeshran Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 This image search is already done by Google Goggles. I think now they integrated it with the website as well

I guess this is google's own version, from what they've shown on the video, it doesn't seem to be as good as tineye. Liking the instant search thing, I wonder if it starts loading 2nd, 3rd, etc. pages after the 1st one has loaded up in the background
