Google Hummingbird : A new way to search

In This post I share some interesting facts about new algorithm of Google & it's new features.

Google Hummingbird is the new Google algorithm by Google. September 27 is Google's official birthday, making Google 15 years old. To celebrate their 15th birthday, Google launched a new "Hummingbird" algorithm, claiming that Google search can be a more 

human way to interact with users and provide a more direct answer.

About "Hummingbird" 

•  Google claims that its Hummingbird algorithm offers a more natural way to use its  search engines.     
•  We all know that Google is most popular search engine & billions of people  everyday      search for something on Google.The previous Google algos are search on basis of    keywords. 
•  For example, if you want to search about BBM for Desktop than you have to search "BBM for PC" or "BBM + PC". It works best according to Google's previous algorithms.
•  But they come to know that most users are writing whole sentences during search. So  they come up with new update which get to a natural conversation between people and  google search. This update can make use of more complex search requests and has a  better understanding of the concept of human language, rather than a few scattered  words.

Features

Knowledge Graph Comparisons

• Google being able to process more complex queries, and part of that is evident in the new comparisons feature that presents Knowledge Graph facts side-by-side.
• Now if you want to compare two things A & B than you have to search "A vs B" and google comes with some basic points of comparision.
• For example, if you want to compare orange and apple than just search "Burj Khalifa vs Empire State Building" & the result is:

• You can also try for  "Cake vs Brownie","Butter vs Olive oil" etc.

Knowledge Graph Filters

• This is another interesting feature of searching. Search "list of actors" and you will find:

• Let's take another example of Scientists:

• By the way, above features are only available for most popular things in the world.
• In addition, there will be much more coming  soon for android & ios smartphone users. Afterall , Google Search Senior Vice President  Amit Singh said "We have only just begun."

EDIT POSTS ON FACEBOOK AFTER SHARING

Typo ruin your social media masterpiece? Facebook is starting to let you edit a post’s text after you publish it. This feature is available on the web and Android in an update today, and will come for iOS soon. Previously you had to delete your post, lose all your Likes and comments, and repost to edit something. Android users also get emotion and activity sharing, events at a glance, and photo album creation today.

Soon you’ll be able to edit all posts and comments from the web, Android, or iOS. To edit posts, you’ll be able to click the down arrow in the top right of one of your posts and select ‘Edit Post’ to change the text, then click “Done Editing” as shown in this screenshot from Spencer Chen. Your revisions and original post will still be viewable if friends check your post’s edit history, though. For comments, hovering over or tapping a post will reveal a pencil icon on the right you can click to start editing.

BLACKBERRY MESSENGER FOR DESKTOP(COMING SOON)

We all know that BlackBerry failed miserably in its attempt to bring BBM to Android and iOS last week, but the Canadian company has given up on making its popular messaging service available to all and guess what,it’s also planning to bring BBM to your desktop, too.

BlackBerry showed off BBM for Windows during BlackBerry Jam Asia this week. It looks exactly how you’d expect a desktop instant messaging client to look, only with BlackBerry 10’s buttons and menu bars. A Mac application wasn’t previewed, but given the company’s new focus on making BBM available to all, we’re assuming there is one in development.

A desktop app could give BBM a much greater chance at competing with already-popular cross-platform messaging clients like WhatsApp, which are somewhat difficult  &
complex to use in PCs or Laptops. Critics have been questioning whether BBM has a unique feature that could lure users away from these services, and a good desktop app could certainly be it.

But BlackBerry needs to bring BBM to Android and iOS first, of course, and it’s having problems trying to do that. It briefly made BBM for iPhone available over the weekend, but it had to halt its rollout and pull the app due to problems with its servers. BBM for Android didn’t even get a chance to grace Google Play.

BlackBerry has promised that it’s working hard to fix the problems and that BBM’s cross-platform rollout will continue later, but it’s unclear at this point when we can expect to see the app.

INSTAGRAM FOR iOS 7 GETS A MILD LOOK

Instagram has been updated for Apple’s iOS 7 today with a new design that puts photos front and center. The app has not been re-written or torn down for the logic of iOS 7 so much as trimmed and tucked to fit with the aesthetic.

• “With the introduction of iOS 7 and its emphasis on clarity, we were excited to rebuild the look    and feel of Instagram in a way that would bring these principles together and let the moments    this community captures and shares shine,” said the Instagram team. “We led our redesign with a focus on clarity to keep the feel of Instagram clean, simple and grounded in the photos and videos you discover and share.”
• Images and videos now fill the screen from edge to edge, which is a nice design change that makes the content feel more immersive. Another plus of edge-to-edge media viewing is that Instagram now supports higher resolution uploads, so the stuff you shoot won’t look as scaled down.
