Whenever we use Google, most of the times we search for a specific type of file, example: PDF or PPT or DOC. But when we enter the query in Google's search box it gathers all types of the results, be it of any type. To find a specific type of file we need to modify our search technique. Coming steps will show you how to search for a specific file type (here I am showing it for PPT i.e. power point presentation file). Step 1] Go to Google.

SAN FRANCISCO: Google Inc's new social network has attracted 25 million users, making it the fastest website to reach that audience size, according to data released on Tuesday by comScore. Google+, launched in late June, had 25 million unique visitors as of July 24 and is growing at a rate of roughly one million visitors a day, comScore noted in a presentation. In contrast, it took Facebook about three years to attract 25 million visitors, while Twitter took just over 30 months, according to comScore. While the data show Google's latest attempt at breaking into social networking has started strongly, it may not mean the project is a long-term success. MySpace grew to 25 million unique visitors in less than two years -- faster than Facebook or Twitter. However, it's lost a lot of visitors in the past year, comScore data show. Most Google+ visitors come from outside the United States. More than 3.6 million unique visitors have come from India, ...

Facebook like buttons and social plugins had taken the web by a storm. Nearly every other website added one or more social plugins, be it the “Like” button, Comment box, Friend sharing or the Fan box. Now it looks like the web giant (Google) also wants to join the bandwagon of "Public recommendation" by adding a new button to it's search results. The new button has been named  +1 by Google and it has started to roll this live for several users across the globe. The concept is simple you will see a +1 button in your search results after each link. If you find that link worth you click on the +1 button. Now, whenever your friends , followers or colleagues (all your contacts) will search for the same thing they will see that you have recommended that link at earlier point of time. They trust the link because they trust you so they will first see your recommendations. In this way popularity of the link increases and it gets more chances of getting into search results...

Google Plus was launched last week. It is the third attempt of Google at capturing a piece of the social networking pie (Orkut, Buzz and Wave are all Google products). As Google + is in the limited lanch state, you need to get an invite to become a user of this service. Well, I was lucky enough to be invited. And I must admit that, while the Mountain View-based company has taken a few pages out of Facebook, it has also added a few nifty features to Plus. One of the better features is the option to create 'Circles' that lets you share different content with different sets of people based on the Circle you have added them to. And then there's 'Hangout' that allows you to create a video chat room for up to 10 people.  There is a lot to share about Google + and it's features, that will be discussed in our coming posts.
