Posted on July 17, 2007 - Filed Under Google Software/Tips | 4 Comments
Ok, I know that I am about to change my current search feature on my blog to Google’s Custom Search Engine for Businesses as I write this post because it’s cheap, can be customized to have no ads, and of course best of all, you get results that actually match what someone searches for! The cool thing is that it takes absolutely no time to setup because all you have to do is give your search a name, tell it what you want it to search, and paste four lines of HTML onto your home page.

Wow, I looked up directions yesterday to go to Harrah’s Casino in New Orleans for a comedy show and I was annoyed because Google Maps kept telling me this long and drawn out way through bad neighborhoods that just didn’t make any sense!

You can use Google News search and Google Blog search to keep track of the latest news and relevant blog posts through RSS feeds of the search. This is a very simple way to create your own news feed of information from reputed news sources and also the blogosphere.
For example, let’s say you want to keep abreast on any developments with Presidential candidate Barack Obama in the blogosphere, then you could type in “Barack Obama” and either setup Blog Alerts or choose to subscribe to the RSS or Atom feed for that search.

Google introduced a new feature today for Picasa called “Map Your Photos” which lets you show everyone where you took your pictures on a map. It’s a feature that’s been around in Flickr for ages, so it’s about time Picasa users don’t feel like lonely ducklings. The new feature is quite easy to use and adds a little bit of jazz to the site.
