Google Music now in India – Listen to Songs Online
Google with its different search features apart from Web like Images, Blogs, News has now added what was earlier available only for folks in U.S. - Google Music Search.
Keeping this post short, Google Music lets users search for Bollywood songs online and listen to them. This includes all the new songs. To get this feature up, Google Labs have joined hands with Saavn & in.com. What this means is that you can only listen to songs available in the database of these two sites but they are pretty huge, so no worries. Google may collaborate with more such online music libraries in future but for now, get hooked to bollywood music. Recently, they have collaborated with Saregama as well!
People looking to download songs – Sorry that’s piracy! Have a musical online presence. Btw if you are a music junkie and want to carry your playlist where-ever you want, check out Grooveshark – I love it!

Hello friends, here’s another one from Google. Like always they are out with something to make the web more interesting and life easy, all this at the cost of nothing(read as free). No wonder, I update about Google so often on ewebbuddy.com.

Well, new is Google Labs latest offering to make reading NEWS easier, faster and fun! Its called Google Fast Flip. Fast Flip is the latest experiment happening at Google Labs and I found it quite cool.
Whats Fast Flip all about?
Fast Flip displays NEWS from all around the world from various publications under different categories and sections, sorted based on popularity, age, etc as screenshots. You can simply click on the screenshots to read the news posts, once done flip to the next. This is a great relief to the otherwise slow and boring way of reading NEWS, dont you think so?? You can even rate articles you liked and mail them to anybody. This is what folks at Google Blog say about it,
Fast Flip is a new reading experience that combines the best elements of print and online articles. Like a print magazine, Fast Flip lets you browse sequentially through bundles of recent news, headlines and popular topics, as well as feeds from individual top publishers. As the name suggests, flipping through content is very fast, so you can quickly look through a lot of pages until you find something interesting. At the same time, we provide aggregation and search over many top newspapers and magazines, and the ability to share content with your friends and community. Fast Flip also personalizes the experience for you, by taking cues from selections you make to show you more content from sources, topics and journalists that you seem to like. In short, you get fast browsing, natural magazine-style navigation, recommendations from friends and other members of the community and a selection of content that is serendipitous and personalized.
