You must be wondering what would be better and alternative way of making Google search, when the home page of Google itself has got such a simple and user friendly interface. The service I am talking about is Gog.Is that helps you get Google search results as soon you enter on your address bar http://www.gog.is/you-search-term. For example if I wish to make a Google Search for the entry “DevilsWorkshop” then I can directly enter “http://www.gog.is/devilsworkshop” and I would get the similar page that would have been appeared while searching in Google for the term ‘DevilsWorkshop’.

You must be thinking what exactly is the use of such services? After all you need to type such a long URL on the address bar. If you remember about the post “Let Me Google that for you” which is useful for making Google search for your buddies.. Similarly, Gog.Is is a similar service that would help you to locate a Google entry easily while having chat with your buddies.

The home page of Gog.Is explains better of what exactly it can do:

Ever felt like slapping someone with a Google search, while in an IM conversation, chatrooms, or on Twitter? simply write http://gog.is and put the keywords in the url, like this: http://gog.is/clerks. This will redirect them to the Google search for clerks.

If you are following Google for a year, you must be knowing Google changed its favicon sometime in June last year, and now, again Google has come up with a new good and sleek favicon.

This morning, when I opened Gmail homepage, I was surprised to see a colorful favicon instead and was wondering whether I was being redirected to some fake or phishing site.  But even after refreshing and reopening, the page continued to show up the new favicon as you can see on the image. It was later, that I was confirmed about the change of logo when I read this official post. The blog says they considered changing favicon, because last time when the favicon was changed, many users complained that it was too “ugly”. In their words:

Google changed its favicon last year and many people said that the new one was ugly. Probably this the reason why Google decided to use another favicon starting from today. The new favicon uses all the colors from Google’s logo, while keeping the same lowercase "g".

In this new favicon, all the colors present in Google’s logo are being used up and seems to be better than the previous one. Hope this move by Google be appreciated by all its lovers. 🙂
