Good News for India mobile users. Now you can send sms from Google. Yes Google SMS Channels from Google Labs has provided this technology. This is still in development phase so use it as if it was never there. The reason I say this is that if there are any major problems in this then they might take it down anytime.

I did a testing with MTNL, Orange & Airtel numbers and all the sms reached immediately. You can create a group among your friend and families and send group messages without paying.

You can also receive Blog updates via feeds as SMS too. There are many Indian languages supported too. I came up with a idea on how to send SMS through email using Google SMS Channel.

You need to create a free Google blog initially. Add your friends as Author and invite them from Settings-->Permission tab. Ask all your friends to create a Mail-to-Blogger Address by going to Settings-->Email tab and add numbers or name in the blank name. Make sure that "Publish email immediately" is checked and save it.

This way for e.g. if their email address is sanjaybrao.sanzrao@gmail.com and they have added "email123" to sanjaybrao.sanzrao.email123@blogger.com, then they can send email to sanjaybrao.sanzrao.email123@blogger.com and their posts will get published immediately.

Next you need to register at Google SMS Channel with your blog feeds & ask your friends to send email to above created email with just subject (Note only subject field will be sent out as sms). This way whenever any of your groups send an sms it will reach to all the authors of this blog.

Happy SMSing!!

Even Microsoft, Google has missed the list too :-)

If you have missed previous Google Logo’s then you can visit http://www.google.com/holidaylogos.html to find the logo’s. The collections of logos listed here are not the complete list. If you want to find more logo’s which Google had displayed across all the countries then follow this step:

1) Go to Google Search
2) Search for “site:www.google.com/logos” without double quotes
3) The search result will show you all the links to the pages grouped either by events or month. Clicking on these links will not give you anything. The trick is in next step
4) Click on “Cached” link below each link. Eureka, you now have all the old Google Logo’s.

Please note you cannot use these logo’s for your sites. It is just for viewing only.

You must have noticed that Google redirects you to your country specific Google domain name even if you had typed Google.com. i.e. google.com will redirect to google.co.in if you live in India. This results in displaying the country specific searches in the search result. So if you want to avoid this and use Google.com for your search query then just a simple url will do the trick.

google_redirect
The trick is to just type http://www.google.com/ncr instead of just typing http://www.google.com in the address bar, where ncr stands for “No Country Redirect”.

Next time you type Google.com it won’t get redirected to Google.co.in. If you need to go to Google.co.in then you can specifically type http://www.google.co.in in the address bar. Also if you need to reset it to original just delete all the cookies from your browser.

Very few know that you can have email address @msn.com which can be accessed in same way as hotmail.com. If you are interested in getting one just click here & register yourself.

This is better than @hotmail.com as it is small and very easy to remember. To access your email @msn.com, just go to hotmail.com and enter your registered email and the password.

So what are you waiting for.. Grab your id before it is too late!!

How many of you have multiple accounts for same site, say Yahoo or Orkut ie8_logo or some other email or networking site or forums, which you would like to browse simultaneously. One of the option available was to install different browsers and then log in into the same site using different ids. But with the new features of Internet Explorer 8 you can do this within IE8 itself.

To make use of this feature, instead of creating a new tab, select “New Session” from File menu. Thus each new session will have its own cookies which will allow you to browse same site with simultaneous multiple ids.
