Google Instant Search

Released this week, Google Instant is a new search mode that shows results as you type what you are looking for. This functionality is already available for Google’s domains US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Russia.

If you’re not located in these countries, stay tuned. Google will be spreading it to the rest of the world very soon. But, even tough, you can already try it out for yourself, no matter where you are. Hit the button below and you’ll be redirected to Google’s global domain (.com). Then you’ll be able to follow this guide.

So, let’s get started. Google Instant search is only possible because of its 15 new technologies used in it. So to start using Google Instant, you’ll first need to have a decent and updated web browser like Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer. If you don’t, please update or download a new one, you’ll be doing a good thing for web developers too.

Now that you have an updated browser, go to Google.com, log in with your Google Account and you’re all set.

To know if you are really on Google Instant, you’ll notice that Google’s logo is bigger, or you can just try typing anything. As you type, the results page will automatically load, not needing to hit the “Search” button or even “Enter” from your keyboard.

In my opinion this is the best creation of the year from Google. Don’t you think? According to them, Google Instant can save 2-5 seconds per search, that’s 11 hours saved for second in the hole world!

Just in case you don’t want to change the way you search right now, you can simply turn off Google Instant in your Google Account’s Preferences page.

Feel free to leave a comment below! I’ll try to reply to all of them as soon as possible.

Finally: Use Multiple Google Accounts in the Same Browser

Having different accounts on Google and want to stay logged in all of them at same time is impossible if you use the same browser. That happens because Google automatically identifies whether any Google Account is already opened and begins to use the same login on all its pages that are open later. However, this is about change.

A new feature that allows multiple Google accounts logged at the same time can already be tested. And, unlike what happens today, an account does not interfere with each other, being unnecessary the need to use different browsers for different logins.

For now, the new feature is limited and only supports Google Calendar, Google Docs, Gmail, Google Reader, Google Sites and Google Code. According to Google, if the user wants to use services that do not supports multiple accounts yet, you must log out of service and login in with the account you want.

The innovation is only available for a limited number of users yet. Check it out if you are able to use it accessing your Google Account settings. If not already, stay tuned. Soon all users will be able to use simultaneous logins.

Google Voice: One phone number, online voicemail, and enhanced call features

Thanks to Ileane from Ms. Ileane Speaks, I found out about the newest service that Google is offering for free, and it’s called Google Voice.

In Google Voice, you’ll have a Google number. This number is like a normal phone number, except it’s not tied to a phone or a location, it’s tied to you. The main idea is to replace all the numbers you have, like your cellphone number, home and phone numbers, by your Google number. With this, people won’t call your cellphone, your home or your work, they will call you, and you will decide where or in which phone you’ll answer them.

Please watch the videos below and tell me: What do you think about this new service? Will you give it a try? What’s your expectations about it?
