During a normal google search about ICC cricket results,
I was surprised to see the new image search filter results appearing on the google
Here is how you can see the fun
- go to google.com
- click on word you wish to search
- once the results appear, click on images option that appears below the search bar (by default you are in 'all options)
- Once in images tab, you can see the colourful tags against which you can filter your results
- I guess each color represent categories. You can scroll down upto two levels
- For cricket I got this different colors
Only when you select an item from group 3 such as village/county, you search limit will be exhausted
However if you select a search term from other groups, you still have an option to dig further
Enjoy this colourful searching and filtering. Note : this colourful tab is not appearing in IE browser. I saw it only in chrome browser.

Off late Android mobile devices are becoming talk of the town. Initially the looks of the Android Phones along with the various apps were not attractive for the younger generation.

Some parents also gift Android Smartphone to their kids so that they can enjoy.

Do you think Google X phone can beat Samsung Galaxy or Apple iPhone popularity? The most watched Android phone has already made the cyber world Crazy. Android smartphone leader Samsung, which partnered with Google to launch the popular Galaxy phone will have to wait and watch, since Phone X can directly impact its smartphone business.
Google has dominated the Search Engine World. Competitors Yahoo or Bing are still a distant second and need lot of groundwork. On the other side Google is slowly playing a new game. First it promoted Android aggressively and gave jitters to Operating System Grandfather Mr. Microsoft. While Microsoft is yet to recover from this setback and it’s Windows Phone OS is yet to make a significant impact.
Google real competition in Android has been the Apple iOS. The Apple folks not only have a good OS but also with smart design and features are able to command a premium. Samsung Child, Galaxy phones powered by Google Android are tough iPhone/iPad competitors. Besides lot of other vendors have built their business models on Android, but Google is slowly started to take the front seat.
As a first step it acquired Motorola and most important lot of patents. This gave Google the much-needed boost to build its own Mobile hardware empire not fulfilled by Nexus line of phones. Now If rumors are true, the ambitious project 'Google Phone X' is going to be the most awaited turning point for android history that Google Nexus and Samsung Galaxy lovers can watch for. To aid Google crusade, analyst are questioning the ability of Apple Corporation to be as innovative as during Steve Era.
Though there have been no official confirmation about this Google-Motorola project, online news channel quickly caught the Motorola job posting for Phone X. Though the advertisement for recruitment was removed and re-posted without Phone X description, it has triggered a debate. It is widely believed that Google I/O 2013 in June will be the event to watch. Various agencies (competitors/partners) are waiting for Google to announce phone X.
With the skills possessed by Motorola team and the core competency of Google, Phone X is definitely the biggest Android release to watch for in 2013. Personally I do not have much hopes from the phone since expectation can dampen. But i would love to own it since it is rumored to have bendable screen, advanced camera and other top line features that probably can give cut-throat competition to other Smartphone’s in the market. It is also possible that it might revolutionize the next generation of products in mobile World. Patience pays and Phone X hopefully carves itself a rich niche in Android world.
As business becomes more competitive, it is imperative to expect change and explore new business opportunities using social media tools such as Youtube Marketing. But growth will be muted if social media is not used effectively as a marketing tool. Social media landscapes have evolved in 2011 creating new opportunities, strategies for brands etc. Though Facebook and Twitter are leading the buzz in social media, Youtube marketing is the most valuable video marketing tool.
With about 1 in 3 humans on the net globally (490 million) users on you tube, you tube offers a platform for business to connect with customers (existing and future), display expertise and market products. Youtube marketing will not only help to increase sales, but also build business brand and loyal customer base.
As a business which is yet to explore the benefits of social media, the first question is the budget that needs to be set aside for marketing on new platform. But one big advantage of You tube is that it is a free service. If you are thinking free service as trial or demo version, then it is incorrect. You tube is free service which is as effective as any other paid marketing tools. As you learn more about this tool, your business will have fewer reasons to complain about Youtube marketing but more reason to applause its benefits.
Once you finalize that Youtube marketing will be the next milestone for your business to work on, it is important to understand how to derive the maximum benefits. Everyday 48 hours of video are uploaded every minute, resulting in nearly 8 years of content uploaded every day on Youtube. With so many videos, in order to get maximum exposure it is important that business get a dedicated channel for themselves on Youtube. A Youtube channel provides an innovative medium ensuring follower get updates on new posted contents.
When you are new, you will find lot of so called you tube experts who offer advises on how to effectively use you tube. But before getting any external advises, the core business team should do some little research on Youtube marketing. Youtube has created a tool (https://ads.youtube.com/keyword_tool) to help in researching product or services people are looking for. By using this tool you can find what is popular and accordingly customize your videos so that people will hit them.
Marketing teams effort on creating impressive videos are of not much use, if users do not see them. Hence tag your Youtube marketing videos with appropriate keywords so that they can be easily searched and business can effectively market the product or service offered. Also the keywords can be used when adding video on YouTube as a video title. The title of video helps search engines know what your video is all about and index your video accordingly.
Once the videos are searched, it is important that viewers know what they should expect from the Youtube marketing video before they click the play button. Hence descriptions of the videos updated on you tube are important. Good Descriptions are an advertisement to attract more hits and should be free of any grammatical errors. The first 60 characters of description should include important text, including your website address. After 60 characters of the description, you tube cuts the rest of the description and adds an ellipsis.
Once people watch the Youtube marketing videos, it is important that they know what next. Hence the message should be clear in videos on what next. For instance the number of people on your channel and another readers channel might be different. So if the person likes your video he can embed this video, providing exposure to video outside your network. You tube also provides features such as comment on video, rate video etc that helps in promoting the business.
Videos are composed of several keywords. Some keywords are explicit i.e. given as tags, while others are implicit i.e. viewers mind. Hence Youtube Marketing Videos highlighting ‘how to’ helps the viewers imagination on business product or service. But remember that videos should have appropriate content. You tube videos can be marked in appropriate if some products video violate terms.
Finally videos on Youtube cannot be use as an alternative to other marketing mediums. Rather Youtube marketing should be used as an input to strategy of overall marketing. With millions of you tube users auto sharing the video on social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Google + etc), Youtube marketing is a powerful tool to provide maximum exposure on Social Media.
