Google Docs Vs Microsoft Office Live Workspace Take a look at the below screenshots, Google Docs <img style="border-width: 0px;" alt="google-docs" src="http://lh3.google.com/pratheepnet/R82EqxPGvNI/AAAAAAAAAGY/yVL8H4UmuvI/google-docs_thumb%5B6%5D" border="0" height="226" width="401" /> Microsoft Office Live Workspace <a href="http://lh3.google.com/pratheepnet/R82EsxPGvOI/AAAAAAAAAGg/ukELCgHf_1E/windows-live-office%5B4%5D"> <img style="border-width: 0px;" alt="windows-live-office" src="http://lh3.google.com/pratheepnet/R82EtxPGvPI/AAAAAAAAAGo/chNu0IIJQQg/windows-live-office_thumb%5B2%5D" border="0" height="237" width="405" /> </a> Both are alike! Some cool features that is missing in Google Docs, <ol> <li>You can install add-in for Office XP, 2003 and 2007 – through which you can access online documents with Microsoft Office. </li> <li>You can upload almost all type of files (including images, documents, excel-sheets and many) </li> </ol> One big feature is currently not available in Live - you can only view the uploaded files but you can’t edit them. If you want to edit, you need to use the appropriate software. Hope they will include this feature very soon. But I have a strong opinion that Live will not allow users to edit the uploaded document as it will affect their software business ;) Google or Microsoft? The tug-of-war continues...

For those who don’t know “Google analytics is a free website tracker from Google”. Using Google analytics you can track your visitors and other related details. <a title="Piwik" href="http://piwik.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Piwik </a> is something similar to Google analytics but it is open source. Piwik aims to be an open source alternative to Google Analytics. – From Piwik.org website. Is it possible for Piwik to overtake Google Analytics? What is your thought? I don’t think it can! Because I have the following reasons, <blockquote> 1. Installing Piwik is not as easy as Google analytics and requires programming knowledge 2. Statistics is stored in our server which will consume bandwidth and space </blockquote> Google Analytics or Piwik? What you recommend?

This is cool! but the chat is not as fast as the regular Gtalk. I believe that Google will enhance this service soon with some cool features. Still waiting? Create your own <a href="http://www.google.com/talk/service/badge/New" target="_blank">chatback badge </a> and Start chatting with your visitors! No need to fill anything, just sign-in with your <a href="http://www.google.com/talk/service/badge/New" target="_blank">google account here </a>, copy the code, past and start using the chat facility. </content> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/2008/02/google-chatback-chat-with-me-now.html" title="Google Chatback - Chat With Me Now!" /> <link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21853522&postID=2337921504629918764" title="0 Comments" /> <link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/feeds/2337921504629918764/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /> <link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/2337921504629918764" /> <link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21853522/posts/default/2337921504629918764" /> <author> <name>Matt </name> </author> </entry> <entry> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21853522.post-2388495031544750661 </id> <published>2008-02-23T07:56:00.001-08:00 </published> <updated>2008-02-23T07:57:53.327-08:00 </updated> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google Alerts" /> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google" /> <title type="text">Google Alerts - Spammers Attack </h3> <content type="html"> Recently I got a Google alert as shown in the below screen shot. If you carefully watch the screenshot, it is different from the regular alert. Compare with the 2nd image (it is the screenshot of a regular Google alert). <a title="Google Alerts" href="http://www.google.com/alerts" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> <img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="158" alt="google alert issue" src="http://lh6.google.com/pratheepnet/R8BCOmZbwhI/AAAAAAAAAFo/KmPLL-NNmF8/google-alerts-issue%5B10%5D" width="382" align="left" border="0" /> </a> Regular Google alert: <a title="Google Alerts" href="http://www.google.com/alerts" target="_blank"> <img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="155" alt="google alert" src="http://lh5.google.com/pratheepnet/R8BCPWZbwiI/AAAAAAAAAFw/jsiVft8ZhtY/google-alert%5B4%5D" width="385" border="0" /> </a> The similar issue was <a title="Google Alerts Issue" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/2007/02/two-cool-google-updates-with.html" target="_blank">discussed in this blog before one year </a>. I suspect that it is a spam email because, <ol> <li>It is not in regular format of Google alert </li> <li>This alert is no where related to the alert’s topic </li> <li>Different language other than English </li> </ol> Does anyone have similar email?

Check this video explaining some of the important stuffs. <div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:cbd8d572-2cf2-4efa-96a7-0b837a3d5851" style="padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px"> <div> <object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/M9Whs0IpK_g&rel=1"> </param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> </param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/M9Whs0IpK_g&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object> </div> </div> Download the new toolbar for IE at: <a href="http://toolbar.google.com/T5/intl/en/" target="_blank">http://toolbar.google.com/T5/intl/en/ </a> #2: <a title="Gmail New Version with 37 Languages" href="http://www.gmail.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Gmail New Version with 37 Languages </a> Gmail is coming up with more cool features like, Bookmarking individual emails 37 languages Enhanced contact manger Cool emotions And many more... Wait for it @ www.gmail.com #3: <a title="Google Reader Shortcut" href="http://reader.google.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Google Reader Shortcut </a> I know most of the webmaster use Google reader to update themselves through many websites. But most of them don’t know that there are many shortcuts to use the Google reader effectively through the keyboard.

You will get the complete list of shortcuts for Google reader. Type “?” and learn more! #4: <a title="Google Apps for Team" href="http://www.google.com/apps/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Google Apps for Team </a> What is this? Google Apps is already used by many small enterprises! So what’s new in it? The answer is: to use Google Apps (regular version), you need to verify that you are the webmaster/owner for the website for which you are configuring. But Google apps for team is different, here you no need to verify your website, instead you verify your corporate email address and add your corporate friends, then you can use all the services like, Google docs, calendar and other cool stuffs including GTalk. Don’t wait, just login and sign-up. To use the Gmail service, you need to change the mx-record in the server. #5: <a title="Google Local News" href="http://news.google.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Google Local News </a> This is a perfect update. Throw the hardcopies, go with softcopies. If you want to know news about your local area, just type your City, Sate or Zip code. It is beautifully working for my local place. Try yours. The news updates are very frequent and for that reason you the very recent news. #6: <a title="Google and Nokia" href="http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2008/02/mobile-world-congress-2008-google-and.html" target="_blank">Google and Nokia </a> Search engine giant and Mobile giant have joined their hands! This is really interesting and trouble for their competitors in both the search engine and mobile industry. Nokia has announced that in all the new product releases, Google search will be integrated. So Nokia mobile user can now enjoy the benefits from Google. In the other end, yahoo and t-mobiles have teamed up and decided to release mobiles with yahoo search enabled by default. So, competition is picking up, let’s wait for the result! I have a doubt, Android is on the way to market, this will massively affect Nokia market. But this partnership is going to work? Any comments! #7: <a title="Google Local Search Update" href="http://www.google.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Google Local Search Update </a> Previously when you search for any local place in Google like “ <a title="hotels in London" href="http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=hotels+in+london" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">hotels in London </a>”, you will get 3 local results on the top of the page, but now they displaying 10 results with a map image marking all the locations.

Check <a title="CSS3" href="http://metaatem.net/highlite/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">this website </a>; you can actually hide an image behind text. I tried and it is working fine. Playing with CSS3. Works only with Firefox and Safari web browsers! #4: The Future of Mobile Check this, stuff! See-through, Click-Find, and know more! This will be our future mantra. So confused? <a title="Future of Mobile" href="http://petitinvention.wordpress.com/2008/02/10/future-of-internet-search-mobile-version/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Check this </a>, you will understand. #5: Image Matching Search Engine - <a title="Lincoln" href="http://lincoln.msresearch.us/Lincoln/Logon.aspx" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Lincoln </a> The search engines which we have right-now will search for text that we type in the text box.

Because I didn’t get time to sit and login the system to read the updates. I was doing a research on how to stay updated on the go. Recently I read a post from a BlogSpot user about using the RSS feed effectively. Here are some websites through which you can get benefited. 1. Very first tip is, download a RSS reader to your mobile, the best way to do it, is to install <a title="Opera Mini" href="http://www.operamini.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Opera Mini </a>. This is said to be one of the best browser for mobile. Through opera you can add all the RSS feed and update yourself through it. 2. If you travelling to a place where there is no internet, you can convert the RSS as an offline version and upload it to your laptop and read it on the go. Use this website to convert RSS to PDF, rss2pdf.com. 3. For people who don’t have access to internet in their mobile can use this website to read the RSS (basically the update) through text messages. Visit this website to know more about it, zaptxt.com. Found it useful? Try it and don’t miss any of the important updates. </content> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/2008/01/stay-with-current-update-while.html" title="Stay with Current Update While Travelling" /> <link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21853522&postID=2032719232234075033" title="0 Comments" /> <link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/feeds/2032719232234075033/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /> <link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/2032719232234075033" /> <link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21853522/posts/default/2032719232234075033" /> <author> <name>Matt </name> </author> </entry> <entry> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21853522.post-760803841892606122 </id> <published>2008-01-07T11:44:00.001-08:00 </published> <updated>2008-01-07T11:56:31.625-08:00 </updated> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google Docs" /> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google Update" /> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google" /> <title type="text">Embed Slide-shows in Website, like Google Videos </h3> <content type="html"> From the beginning of New Year, Google started to launch new ideas. As the very first step, they have launched the embedded option for the slides we create through <a title="Google Docs" href="http://docs.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Docs </a> (Google Presentation). From now, you can put all your details as a beautiful slide-show and present it to your website viewers.

In this section they track all the issues in the website related to title, meta tags and non-indexable content. The tool helps to do a proper on-page optimization for the websites. It analyses title and meta tags and generate a report for all repeated, short and missing tags. Also, it analysis the website content and display the reason for non-indexable content. Using these reports we can fix the SEO tags and content for the website. <a title="Google Webmaster Tool" href="www.google.com/webmasters/tools/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sing-in </a> to get the benefits from Google Webmaster Tool. Still the developers were working on this tool and they will add more cool stuff in the coming year, 2008. Check the webmaster tool frequently to get the update. Also there is an update in Google Analytics (this is again a free tool from Google where you can measure your website’s traffic for free). Now, we can compare results which will be displayed as a graph. For example, you can compare "Page Views" with "Traffic (Visits)" and generate a graph to analysis it. <a title="Google Analytics" href="http://analytics.google.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Login </a> to get the updates!

Among that software I like “Windows Live Mail” and “Windows Live Writer”. You can get the LIVE software package from Microsoft at <a href="http://get.live.com/wl/desktop" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> http://get.live.com/wl/desktop </a> This particular posting is for those who is trying to use the “Live Writer” to edit the “ <a href="http://www.blogger.com/" target="_blank"> Google Blogger </a> ”. Some of them have tried and started commenting that Live Writer is NOT working for Blogger. Yes this is true, but this particular post will help you to setup “Windows Live Writer” for “Google’s Blogger”. Please follow the steps carefully and you can get your Blogger running in Live Writer :) Step1: Download and install “Windows Live Writer” at <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://get.live.com/writer/overview"> http://get.live.com/writer/overview </a> Step2: After installing, open it from the installed programs list and you will get the following screen, <img height="211" alt="Windows Live Writer" src="http://lh6.google.com/pratheepnet/Rz4A6CSrUBI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/44byR3xHFww/live-writer-startup%5B6%5D" width="340" border="0" /> And then the following screen, <img height="344" alt="live-blog-account-create" src="http://lh4.google.com/pratheepnet/Rz4A7iSrUCI/AAAAAAAAAEY/VcWCEkhtkyE/live-blog-account-create%5B6%5D" width="394" border="0" /> After you get this, select the third option i.e. “Another weblog service”, and click next. Step3: <img height="344" alt="blogger-account-input" src="http://lh5.google.com/pratheepnet/Rz4A8ySrUDI/AAAAAAAAAEg/Tf8orvdZAVE/blogger-account-input%5B16%5D" width="394" border="0" /> In the above screen, fill the details as shown above. But you should enter your user name and password for Blogger, just kidding ;) Click next, Step4: <img height="344" alt="detecting-weblog-settings" src="http://lh3.google.com/pratheepnet/Rz4A-SSrUEI/AAAAAAAAAEo/bvfSCT-ZSWs/detecting-weblog-settings%5B4%5D" width="394" border="0" /> Live Writer will try to configure your Blogger account, but unfortunately it can’t... You will get the following screen, <img height="343" alt="select-provider-blogger" src="http://lh3.google.com/pratheepnet/Rz4A_SSrUFI/AAAAAAAAAEw/D9ifg2IzWJg/select-provider-blogger%5B6%5D" width="394" border="0" /> Now select the “Weblog Service Provider” as “Blogger” As soon as you select the server provider you will get the following URL in the remote posting URL field, http://www.blogger.com/feeds/ <feed-id> /posts/full Note: please take a look at the steps very carefully. Now, open your Blogger's profile in a browser, the URL will be something like this, http://www.blogger.com/profile/19941753007615453754 Copy only the numbers from the URL (i.e. in the above URL I will copy “19941753007615453754”) and replace <feed-id> in the remote posting URL field and click next. Note: Please make sure that you have not edited the entire URL except replacing <feed-id>. You will get the following screen; this screen will take some time, because it will download your complete Blogger setting to your local computer. <img height="344" alt="detecting-again-weblog-settings" src="http://lh6.google.com/pratheepnet/Rz4BBCSrUGI/AAAAAAAAAE4/LNPEnn4SRqs/detecting-again-weblog-settings%5B5%5D" width="394" border="0" /> Click next, Step5: (Final) Click "Finish" Hurray! You have configured your Blogger to “Windows Live Writer”. Note: this particular posting was published through the “Live Writer” I can recommend this software, as this is very easy to use. Some of its positive points are, 1. You will actually type in Blogger interface and not in a regular Blogger editor 2. Instant preview, even you don’t need Internet to preview it 3. Formatting is as simple as you do in MS Word 4. Spell Check before publishing 5. Save and publish when you are connected to Internet 6. Synchronize with online Blogger whenever required 7. Add nofollow tag and target window for links very easily So, what else you are looking for, just start posting into Blogger through Live Writer. Thanks to Microsoft for this tool! </content> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/2007/11/windows-live-writer-help-for-google.html" title="Windows Live Writer Help for Google Blogger" /> <link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21853522&postID=4175940962761955934" title="2 Comments" /> <link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/feeds/4175940962761955934/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /> <link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/4175940962761955934" /> <link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21853522/posts/default/4175940962761955934" /> <author> <name>Matt </name> </author> </entry> <entry> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21853522.post-778432859692264720 </id> <published>2007-11-13T12:13:00.000-08:00 </published> <updated>2007-11-13T12:23:53.653-08:00 </updated> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google Mobile" /> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Android" /> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="GMobile" /> <title type="text">Google Mobile - Android Update </h3> <content type="html">The hottest topic in internet world is about the Google Mobile "Android".

These facilities are available from the day they launched this tool, but what is actually new in this? Before I explain, take a look at below screenshot of my Google’s Webmaster Tool admin page. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_4xcNKPXfmGM/RxoksF-YxSI/AAAAAAAAAC0/entiXBXAry4/s1600-h/google_webmaster_tool_crawling_speed_faster.jpg"> <img src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_4xcNKPXfmGM/RxoksF-YxSI/AAAAAAAAAC0/entiXBXAry4/s400/google_webmaster_tool_crawling_speed_faster.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123447866024052002" /> </a> Under "Tools" menu we have an option "Set Crawl Rate", here you can actually see the Google bots activity. It will show you two main things, 1. Googlebot activity in the last 90 days 2. Your current speed 1. The activity report they will show the details of, number of pages crawled, number of kilobytes downloaded and time spent downloading a page. The Update Is: 2. In the speed section, you will actually have three options to select your website's crawl rate by Googlebot. Usually, the "Faster" option will be in disabled mode and no one can activate it, unless if Google feels that the crawl rate is very low for your website, they will automatically enable it as shown above. The faster crawl rate will automatically expire after 90 days from the day it was activated. In the screenshot you can actually see the note from Google, stated just below " Faster ". Does anyone experience the same situation? Please comment. </content> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/2007/10/google-webmaster-tool-crawl-rate-update.html" title="Google Webmaster Tool - Crawl Rate Update" /> <link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21853522&postID=4654160461089805247" title="2 Comments" /> <link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/feeds/4654160461089805247/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /> <link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/4654160461089805247" /> <link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21853522/posts/default/4654160461089805247" /> <author> <name>Matt </name> </author> </entry> <entry> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21853522.post-1520593864444102897 </id> <published>2007-10-10T12:35:00.000-07:00 </published> <updated>2007-10-10T12:39:47.349-07:00 </updated> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Jaiku" /> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google Update" /> <title type="text">Google Acquires Jaiku - Activity and Presence Sharing Website </h3> <content type="html"> One more acquisition from Google, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.jaiku.com/">Jaiku </a>, it is an activity and presence sharing website which works on both mobile and web.

Google Trends Update 2. Google Bookmarks Sharing 3. Google to buy Double Click Let me start, 1. Google Trends Update: As per the previous update from Google Trends, it was updated only once in a month and now they wanted to give more comfortable and relevant details to the public, so they have started to update the Google Trends DAILY. Yes, this is one of the best update from Google this month. This will definitely help most of the webmasters to know about the keywords activity. <a href="http://www.google.com/trends" target="_blank">Check yourself here about the update happening in Google Trends </a>. 2. Google Bookmarks Sharing: Google started to enter the Social Media Network, as a result, they have introduced a new concept like Digg and Delicious, where we can post and share our bookmarks live and share with others without login. <a href="http://www.google.com/s2/sharing/stuff?user=117599253307363788214&aoff=false" target="_blank">Checkout my sharing page </a>, but for now I haven't added any stuff to it :) 3. Google to Buy Double Click: <a href="http://www.doubleclick.com/" target="_blank">Double Click </a> is a website which is similar to Google AdWords. Google is in the process of buying this company and they are waiting for a legal approval from European Union Commission. Hope they will get a positive response from them and acquire this as soon as possible. Hope there will be a huge update on GMail, wait for the update to be published on my blog. </content> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/2007/09/three-recent-update-from-google.html" title="Three Recent Update from Google" /> <link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21853522&postID=6977034421050811517" title="0 Comments" /> <link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/feeds/6977034421050811517/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /> <link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/6977034421050811517" /> <link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21853522/posts/default/6977034421050811517" /> <author> <name>Matt </name> </author> </entry> <entry> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21853522.post-1031602528700014528 </id> <published>2007-09-20T11:44:00.000-07:00 </published> <updated>2007-09-20T12:24:53.377-07:00 </updated> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google Coop" /> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Opera Browser" /> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Live Update" /> <title type="text">Live Search Engine New Design, Not Compatible in all Browsers </h3> <content type="html"> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.live.com/">Live Search Engine - New Design </a>, Not Compatible in all Browsers Take a look at the below screen-shot, taken from Opera Browser.

It was said sometime before that Google will get all the office products online and it is true, it is happening now. Those who use <a target="_blank" href="http://docs.google.com/">Google Docs and Spread Sheet </a> please login to your account and check for this wonderful update now. Don’t worry even if you don’t have a login, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount?service=writely&hl=en&continue=http://docs.google.com/&followup=http://docs.google.com/">just sign-up here </a>. Now you have all of your big office application online, no need to carry any CD or other material with you when you go for a presentation, also it is not required that you need to arrange for a meeting to show your presentation. Do you think how? Very simple, just create a presentation in Google docs and add members to that presentation and just show them slide-by-slide and explain what you are trying to say. So what are the other benefits...? Instead of my answer for this question, just take a look at the below video from Google, <object height="350" width="425"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eRqUE6IHTEA"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eRqUE6IHTEA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"> </embed> </object> All the 3 major office products are online, I can’t guess what would be Google next product?

But most of them complaint about one many drawback in its online interface, yes, we can’t create folders in GMail. But after a small research with GMail, I managed to find a solution of this problem. I don’t know whether you know about this, but I just wanted to share this information with everyone. Here is the actual solution: First create labels as per your requirement Next, select the email(s) that you want to transfer to a folder After selecting it, apply the label that you want After that “archive” it That’s all! Your emails will be now segregated into folders :) navigate to each end every label, as if you are using folders. Hope this small piece of information will help, but the easiest way it to configure it to outlook or outlook express or any email client and segregate it to folders… ;) </content> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-to-create-folders-in-gmail-web.html" title="How to Create Folders in GMail Web Interface" /> <link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21853522&postID=3578986636217602491" title="2 Comments" /> <link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/feeds/3578986636217602491/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /> <link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/3578986636217602491" /> <link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21853522/posts/default/3578986636217602491" /> <author> <name>Matt </name> </author> </entry> <entry> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21853522.post-8667169321226269099 </id> <published>2007-09-04T13:01:00.000-07:00 </published> <updated>2007-09-04T13:10:21.673-07:00 </updated> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Web 3.0" /> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google Update" /> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Web 2.0" /> <title type="text">Web 3.0 Definitions from Google Eric </h3> <content type="html"> I was doing a little research on the new topic that was discussed widely in many forums and blogs. Yes it is Web 3.0. What is Web 3.0, is that an extension of Web 2.0? Or is that something new… this new topic confused everybody and no one is having a clear idea about it. But Google’s Eric is able to give a definition for this new term. Take a look at the video of Eric from Google; he is explaining what Web 3.0 is, and how it may work in the future also how it will spread. Look it is quite interesting and may cause a new evolution in the internet world. Let us always hope for the best. Watch the video and get some good information. <object height="350" width="425"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T0QJmmdw3b0"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T0QJmmdw3b0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object> </content> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/2007/09/web-30-definitions-from-google-eric.html" title="Web 3.0 Definitions from Google Eric" /> <link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21853522&postID=8667169321226269099" title="0 Comments" /> <link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/feeds/8667169321226269099/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /> <link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://matt-cutts.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/8667169321226269099" /> <link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21853522/posts/default/8667169321226269099" /> <author> <name>Matt </name> </author> </entry> <entry> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21853522.post-2358452426376824932 </id> <published>2007-08-25T10:50:00.000-07:00 </published> <updated>2007-08-25T11:05:10.225-07:00 </updated> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google Toolbar Update" /> <category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google Update" /> <title type="text">Google Toolbar for Opera </h3> <content type="html"> I heard news that <a href="http://www.google.com/">Google </a> is creating a toolbar for <a href="http://www.opera.com/">Opera Internet Browser </a>.

As a beginning, they did changes in look of the report displayed and now they have started to tweak all the inner report modules. They have stared with the "Map Overlay". Previously in the first step, they show only the main continents and after when you zoom into the places, you can get the exact count from each place. Now in the very first step of "Map Overlay", they have added most of the big cities and countries. Just mouse-over it and you can get the exact traffic details from that place (state/country/continent).

These are the tags that will be available in the head section of the website. This mainly helps the search engines to find what kind of website is this and much other useful information is inserted into it. New Meta From Google: Now you can inform Google about a expiry data of a page. The new meta tag is “unavailable_after”. This information is not released officially and we are waiting for it. Using this meta tag, you can tell the search engines from which date they should stop crawling the page. Hope this is a useful meta tag. Hurray!!!
