Please note that this post is copied word-to-word from Blogger Buzz . Earlier this year we simplified the process for monetizing your blog by   adding a “Monetize” tab   in the Blogger app. We started with AdSense, which allows you to add contextual advertising to your pages; more recently we   added AdSense for Feeds   to help you generate revenue from the distribution of your blog via RSS and Atom.

Internet major Google has said it has received four content censorship requests this month from the Indian Premier League , the administrative body of the Twenty20 cricket tournament. A total of five complaints were received in 2010 about certain websites carrying "illegal retransmission of the authorised feed, copyrighted content for which IPL is the owner", according to Google. Out of the five, four complaints were made this month while one was made in March. Interestingly, Google recently signed an agreement with IPL, wherein rights for live web coverage of matches have been given to YouTube, part of the internet major. Google on Tuesday had named India at the third place among a list of nations from which it received maximum requests for censoring information. The list, which was based on requests for removal of information made to Google between July 1 and December 31, 2009. The complaints from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which owns IPL, have been l...

After being present in the mobile phone industry as just a software manufacturer, Google has finally decided to take the plunge and make its first very own mobile phone to compete with the likes of Nokia, Samsung, Apple and BlackBerry. Its weapon of choice? The Nexus One. Manufactured by HTC for Google, the Nexus One has, by far, one of the most impressive specifications list you can find in a smartphone. Or should I call it Superphone, as Google does. The Nexus One comes armed with Qualcomm's finest 1GHz Snapdragon processor, a 3.7-inch, 800 x 480 pixel AMOLED display, a 5 megapixel camera, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS and runs on the latest and greatest Android 2.1 operating system.

The bundle of Nexus One includes : Nexus One Battery Charger Headset USB Cable Carry Case 4GB microSD...

Orkut is still one of the biggest social networking sites in India and Brazil, and obviously will get more focus from Google, lest they lose out to Facebook , which they will in near future.

One of the key core competencies of a publication is the process of selecting “all the news thats fit to print”. No one can read every news story. Instead of even trying to consume everything, we all have a process we go through for discovery of news, information and topics of interest to us. We have sources we trust for our news and information. It may be a printed paper or magazine, a website, tv news, facebook or twitter updates, or some combination of everything we have access to. No matter how we get information there is one certainty, there is a finite number of sources we will use. When someone selects google news as their destination for news discovery it is probably at the expense of another destination or product who aspires to be a “discovery destination”. But lets pretend it is just an incremental source. That for a while at least a consumer will both go to Google News and to the website of their local paper.

Fresh off the unveiling of Apple’s iPad , we have a whole new batch of tablet rumors—this time regarding a Google Chrome-based tablet device. The Chromium Project, the core behind the development of the Chrome operating system, has released a number of mockups and early concepts regarding what a Chrome-based tablet PC might be. Next to Apple, Google is arguably the most-qualified to launch a tablet device capable of being a game changer. One thing that Apple and Google have in common is that they tend to think outside of the mainstream and are capable of creating paradigm-shifting innovation. After all of the hype, rumors, and speculation, the Apple iPad is really more of a giant iPod touch than a full computer. While some tablets, like the HP Slate unveiled by Steve Ballmer at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), operate on Windows 7 or some other desktop operating system, the iPad runs the iPhone mobile operating system rather than Apple’s Mac OS X. An “iPhone on ...
