Google Testing Previews in Search

Image
I recently noticed a magnifying glass next to google's search results, clicking on which showed a page preview of the page. We have already seen page preview plugins for Wordpress blogs(see snapshot ). Google has also revamped it's image search result display page and we all have experienced Google Instant by now. So while google might have changed a lot behind the scenes and added a lot of functionality, the general look of the website has remained consistent.(see archive.com : Google in the year 2000 ) Searchengineland has an article dating back to 2009 which talks about Google apge preview with a different look. And as you can see in the images along side, techland and the register among others have covered the topic as early as 6th of this month. The page preview highlights the lines which have the search terms, so you can decide if the page contains content you wish to view.

Google New Look: Google Looks Like Bing!

Image
Sometime back Google gave it's homepage a minimalistic look with a fade-in effect. That was OK. Google also added a Search Options tab in the search results page. That was useful. Now Google has added a More tab to the left with Images, Blogs, Shopping and what not as options. Most of these search options have always appeared at the top of the page. Google has also brightened up the page and everything looks so 'brightly' blue. All of that would have been ok too, but somehow these changes make Google look more like Bing! More points for Bing or should Google do a rethink? PS: The change has not spread everywhere. Most search pages return the default look

Verified by Visa (VbV) & Mastercard Securecode become mandatory for Indian debit cards

Debit cards issued by Indian Banks can no longer be used on websites that do not support 3-D Secure. Registrations for 3D Secure(Verified by Visa, Mastercard Securecode) began on August 1st 2009, but cards were being processed properly by sites not supporting VbV/Securecode nonetheless. Starting December 2009 however, cards can only be used on sites supporting VbV/Securecode. This doesn't bode well with users of websites like PayPal and Godaddy among others. Credit Cards on the other hand continue to work as before.
