Orkut Scrap Notification Emails Just Got Better!

Story 1: Around 3 months back, Orkut improved its email noor activities like someone send you a friend request, post a scrap in your scrapbook, etc.

Story 2: At Orkut Feeds, our service which provide updates for Orkut scrapbooks in RSS feeds format, user demanded we should offer an email alert service where they can get complete scrapbook updates. They wanted emails with actual content of scraps!

Now a new update by Orkut connects these two stories. Orkut has improved email notification for scraps, again!

As you can see, above email notification screenshot contains, actual content of scrap as well as display pic of sender.

The only problem with display pic if you are a Gmail user is: you have to enable display of images in every scarp notification email you will get. It would have better if Orkut has used same common email ID to send all notifications.

Anyway this is real treat for users who don’t use Orkut much.

Google Image Search Just Got Even Better

Few days ago, Google announced the launch of a new feature in their Image search option, using which one can search exclusively for faces and later on they released photo search feature. But now, they realized to do something even better and the output is what I am going to write about.

Now Google have included features to search for Line Drawings and Clip arts as well. So, if you are looking for some specific formats or types of images, then you can now easily locate the images you are looking for using these new options in Google Image Search.

To check out these new options, I personally tried searching images using the different options for the keyword ‘Christmas’ and here are those images.

If you remember, few days ago I mentioned a feature in Live Image Search using which we were able to find images using similar images. This new updates by Google, seems to be a reply to those guys at Microsoft.
