Google real time search

Do you want to know what Google had done? It has launched a real time search Google RealTime seeing the popularity of real time search engines Google also tried to jump and finally it has jumped. You can test their real time search. Defiantly I am taking this seriously. Real time search has native features of Google search. I think this jut for testing purpose. One more thing I can see real time means “twitter”. There is one problem with Google’s real time search is ‘there is no way to get back to real time search home page instead you have to type realtime in address-bar after google.com/.

There is a video also telling you how to use real time search.

Real time search is for real time results, real time search will show results that are happening in moments, hours or in days, and results are gathered mostly from twitter.

Blackberry Users can now make VoIP Calls over Wifi [TringMe’s Innovative App]

Good news for Blackberry users – they can now make calls over wifi using Tringme’s newly launched application.  Unlike other mobile platforms, so far there is not even a single native VoIP application on Blackberry, something which can make direct calls over WiFi/data-networks possible. All the existing VoIP applications uses either callback or local access number which eventually uses the cellular network to make calls. Few apps advertise it as VoIP without 3G or WiFi but due the limitation posed by Blackberry platform.

TringMe has launched a ‘true’ VoIP application for blackberry enabling BB users to make VoIP calls over wifi (doesn’t require your cellular minutes to make VoIP calls). In case you do not have Wifi, TringMe gives you local access numbers and callback options available to place your calls.VoIP_Calls_Blackberry

 

Download the application from http://bb.tringme.com and when you make a call from contact book or call logs screen, TringMe will ask you if you would like route the call through TringMe.

You can also make conference calls using the Wifi service. In the application, select contacts from within the application and either use the conference menu item.

For the records, TringMe’s ‘Call over Wifi’ service for Blackberry is world’s first.

Yahoo now officially powered by Bing in US, Canada



The first step of Yahoo’s transition from an in-house search infrastructure to Microsoft’s Bing platform is complete. Yahoo announced the completed conversion today: its Web, image, and video search experiences on both desktop and mobile devices are now being served up by Bing. Microsoft meanwhile noted that the conversion currently only affects Yahoo’s English search results in the US and Canada, with other languages to follow “in the weeks and months ahead.”

The change comes over a year after Microsoft and Yahoo agreed to partner on search and ads in order to combat Google. The Yahoo search results still have the same appearance, except for the 7.5 point text stating “Powered by Bing™” at the bottom of the page.

We contacted both Microsoft and Yahoo to find out which countries will get the Yahoo-powered-Bing next but neither company was eager to share. “At this time, Yahoo! has not given details on international rollout, but I will keep you posted,” a Yahoo spokesperson told Ars. Microsoft was only a bit more helpful. “As soon as we are up and running in North America, we will begin the work of scaling out internationally,” a Microsoft spokesperson told Ars.

As we noted on Bing’s one year anniversary, Microsoft’s offering has been gaining credibility where its predecessors failed. Depending on which market share numbers you follow, Bing should now have somewhere between 16 and 28 percent market share in the US thanks to Yahoo’s help. The hope is that with the additional hits, Bing will over time learn to provide more accurate results as the number two search engine behind Google.

In addition to the search results in the center of the page, the two companies are also working on the sponsored results in the sidebars. The move of Yahoo’s search ad infrastructure to Microsoft’s AdCenter platform is due for completion “later this fall,” but both companies have said they are willing to postpone the move till early next year as it may disrupt the holiday season. The revenue model for the Yahoo Search BOSS program still needs to be finalized, and many search-related tools for publishers will be released “in the months to come.”

Facebook Acquires Social Checkin Service HotPotato

After unconfirmed reports on the pending deal, Hot Potato, a New York-based startup that specializes in social activity updates, announced today that it has been acquired by Facebook for an undisclosed amount. The company will be shutting down operations within a month.

Peter Kafka of MediaMemo estimates that the sale netted between $10 and $15 million. TechCrunch also speculates that the price tag was around $10 million. Justin Shaffer, the founder and CEO of Hot Potato, would not comment on the financial details of the acquisition.

In a statement to Mashable, Facebook spokesperson Jonny Thaw said, “We’re excited to confirm that we recently acquired Hot Potato, a service that helps people socialize around live events and share what they’re doing with friends. We’ve admired for some time how Hot Potato is tackling this space and look forward to working with them to bring Hot Potato innovations to Facebook.”

Thaw would not comment on the terms of the acquisition. Hot Potato’s eight employees, most of whom are developers, will be moving to Palo Alto shortly; Shaffer has already started at Facebook. Hot Potato raised a $1.42 million Series A round late last year and was backed by RRE Ventures, Betaworks and Ron Conway. It’s not clear how many use the application.

Although Facebook would not comment on what Hot Potato will be working on, it likely bought the company, which launched as a mobile-based application last November, to improve the functionality around status updates and its newly launched Facebook Places feature, and to tap into real-time updates around events. Hot Potato’s announcement hints that some of its features will be integrated into Facebook, as well: “Today, we’re thrilled to announce that some of the features and thinking behind Hot Potato are going to be exposed to a much larger audience: We’ve been acquired by Facebook.”

According to its blog, Hot Potato will be wrapping up operations and delete all user data in about a month. The blog stressed that “no user data or account information will be kept by Facebook.”
