What is GrandCentral?




Get all the same calls, but in a whole new way.









GrandCentral doesn't replace your phones; we just link them together and help them do more. How do we do that? We give people One Number...for Life^TM - a number that's not tied to a phone or a location - but tied to you.





With GrandCentral, you can be reached with a single number, answer a call at any phone you want, seamlessly switch phones in the middle of a call, and even know whether a call is important before you take it.









What else can I do with GrandCentral?


We're not your typical phone company. And these aren't your typical features.










• Check your messages by phone, email, or online


• Keep all your messages online for eternity


• Record and store your phone calls (just like voicemail)


• Quickly (and secretly) block an annoying caller


• Click-to-dial from your address book


• Surprise your callers with a custom voicemail greeting


• Forward, download, and add notes to your messages











I've been waiting for something like this. Where do I start?

“Created last year by Eliazar Cardenas, Imagery is a slick front-end for Google Images that adds a pile of features. Search results are displayed as thumbnails, not unlike the standard Google Images interface, but when you roll over an image a few of options pop up, including Open Source Page and Open in New Window, and an X button the hide that thumbnail entirely. When you left-click on a thumbnail a full-sized version is added to a sort of collection area below where you have more viewing options. Imagery’s nicest feature, though, is its tabbed interface. If you’ve already got one set of search results open and search for a new set of keywords, the new search will be opened in an embedded tab.”

You can customize to it see as many images as you want on a single page (Select 100 results per page, and 100 more images at Next page and keep on doing it till infinity), and, easily navigate to the images, or their webpage directly with one click. Imagery is definitely the first place I will head to when searching out Google Images…

How does this face recognition search work?

If the normal search url looks like this

http://images.google.com/images?q=paris

Simply add &imgtype=face to the URL, and enter. Your new face search results will be displayed.

http://images.google.com/images?q=paris&imgtype=face

If you append &imgtype=news to the URL, the new results features images related to the news event.

http://images.google.com/images?q=paris&imgtype=news

This reminds me of Riya Visual Search, another cool face recognition photo search tool. Try out the Google Image Labeler and help improve image search results. I highly recommend you try out Imagery, a powerful alternative Google Image Search interface.

Google Co-op, Google's custom search engine builder, has added an option to beef up your custom searches by letting you including linked-to pages in your custom search.

That is, if you've set up a custom search engine to search Lifehacker, for example, your search can also include the contents of every page we link to. If your goal is to be as specific as possible, it's probably not for you, but if you want to search a trusted site along with the pages that site links to, this looks like a powerful feature addition.

Google is expanding its empire into universities - with entire campus e-mail networks switching over to using Google's e-mail service.

This will give the internet company a "relationship for life" with students - who can carry on using these e-mail addresses after graduating.
