Had Google seen my post ?

My previous post was about a new feature which I would like to see on Facebook, where you can see all your FB likes (not the FB pages, but Statuses, Pictures, Videos, Links, Notes) and comments at one place.

Guess what, not Facebook but Google had come up with a similar feature for Google Buzz where you can see all the posts, comments and likes you have made on Buzz. Following is a screen shot of how it looks like on my Buzz profile.

Google Buzz

By default, these tabs are only visible to you. If you want to share your comments and likes tabs, you can choose to make them publicly visible to others from the Buzz tab under Settings” As I have mentioned in the previous post this will be highly helpful if you want to go through your past posts, likes and comments.

On Facebook, with ‘Like’ being added to comments it will be somewhat complex to add aforementioned kind of a feature. But still Facebook can ignore ‘Likes’ on comments and instead include the “Likes” you made on other web sites. And even with these ‘Likes’ on other web sites, Facebook can bring up a stand alone book marking service.

I don't know whether Google had seen my post to come with the said feature :D If someone needs there are 10 more mentioned here :) Do you have anymore in your mind ?

Today when I logged in to Gmail I saw a red colour link. It was for 'New Video Chat from Google'. This is something many gmail users were expecting. Google was a bit late to introduce Video chat after introducing Gtalk.
To enable Video chat you have to download and install the voice and video plugin.
But still this is not yet available for Linux. Once you install the plugin, to start a video chat, select the contact you want to call In the Chat section of your Gmail. If they have a camera icon next to their name, you can make a voice or video call to them; just click Video & more.
This feature was built by Google acquired Sweden company Marratech which was into online video conferencing solutions before Google acquired it. It will be interesting to see how IM giants like Windows Live, Yahoo, Skype will face to this new threat. Though still Google Video chat is an infant when compared to them, who knows?

Check the video below to see how it works:




What will be next from Google???
