Improvements to Realtime Search

27 Aug '10

Improvements to Realtime Search The blogosphere is a dynamic environment that changes almost as quickly as the world that we live in. And as access to information becomes more widespread and more immediate, the blogosphere is steadily closing that gap. That’s why the Blogger Team is excited to spread the word about Google’s new improvements to Realtime Search, which provide richer and fresher results than ever before. From the new Realtime Search homepage, you can search live updates, recently-published blog posts, and news from around the web in brand new ways. Now you can restrict your search to include just updates from a specific geographic region or just nearby you. You can also check out complete conversations from Twitter. You can also now set up custom alerts for Realtime updates to be sent directly to your inbox once a day or week, or as soon as the happen for instant blog post fodder. For more information about Realtime’s new features, please visit - http://anilkmishra.blogspot.com/ and www.google.com/landing/realtime Regards, Anil Kumar Mishra LIO, NCHRC NIHFW, New Delhi -110067 Mob. 09582951060 Email id- amishra(a)nihfw.org www.nihfw.org Google Profile Anil's Information Portal - gateway to ICT in LIS Visit India's first Repository on Child Health - the gateway to information on child health in Inida -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
