After the success of it’s browser in the browser market, Google has come up with a new update. Now you can add themes to your Google Chrome browser. If you don’t have Google Chrome, download it here. I am using it since it was launched and I find it very convenient and no nonsense browser though it has a few bugging bugs.

Hey guys! Just found an easter egg or bug on Google, whatever you may call it. I had some work so I just decided to Google up recursion. I was astonished to see Google showed that I had typed a wrong spelling as I had copy-pasted it from somewhere. I double checked it and voila! It was Google’s mistake.

The spelling that I inputed and the correct spelling according to them was same, recursion. Yet they showed me an error!

If you would like to check out this bug, click here or go to Google and type in the word recursion.

If you have other bugs which you would like to share, just e-mail me up and I will post them on my blog.

Google has products in almost every range, from operating systems (for mobiles and PC version is soon to come) to to search engines where the hold the monopoly. But the messenger from the Google’s own stable has not really kept up to Google’s reputation of good products. The desktop version doesn’t support smileys, has a slow speed for sending files and the list continues. But for those who use the Google Talk generally, here is a list of Google’s bots that can boost up the quality of this software.

What are Google Bots? :

Google bots in simple English are like virtual friends who are online continuously and will always reply to your queries with a smile.

Bots :

1. imfeeds@gmail.com : Adding this imfeeds will give you the power to read any blog/website that sends content via RSS Feeds.

2. imified@imified.com : Turning GTalk into a powerhouse was never simpler. Features include posting on Delicious, Twitter, submit blog entries to Wordpress, manage events, run Whois, shorten long URL’s and so on.

3. friendfeed@bot.im : This bot allows you to post to post to FriendFeed directly from GTalk. Text and HTML allowed.

4. inezhabot@gmail.com : Inezha helps you to read feeds inside Google Talk but is a little orthodox. Like, you can type itechyou.com and it will show a list of all feeds of the website.

5. Translation : This is a free translaion service that translates any foreign language (not those rare African tribal ones) into any of your choice. Works the same as it’s online version. Eg. (e.g. hi2en@bot.talk.google.com for Hindi to English or en2hi@bot.talk.google.com for English to Hindi)

6. Twitter : Invite the famous micro-blogger Twitter to your Gtalk by adding it’s bot twitter@twitter.com. Now whenever you IM this friend, he will automatically post it on Twitter.

7. Set Task Reminders : If you need to remember something really important, just add timer to your Twitter’s friend list and then add xpenserbot@gmail.com. Now if you want a reminder after 30 minutes to buy chicken, just enter “d timer 30 buy fresh chicken from mart”

8. Xpenser : With Xpenser, you can record your expenses on the go. Suppose you donated $30 to Techaddicts.in, send a message like Donate $30 to Techaddicts and that will be put on your online spreadsheet which you can access later. Add him at xpenserbot@gmail.com

9. Ping.fm : This is a must download for all those blogging and micro-blogging freaks here. With this, you can communicate with Twitter, Wordpress, facebook, Orkut, myspace, linkedin, delicious and many more. Add this at pingdotfm@gmail.com

10. Meshly : Adding meshly@gmail.com allows you to post anything directly to your Meshly account!

Here, my top 10 list for Google Bots comes to an end. Hope you have subscribed to the blog to recieve updates about the new and amazing yet-to-come topics!

I have seen many people complaining that they worked hard for many hours on making a good site but they don’t seem to get crawled by search engines. Sometimes, the wrong pages that shouldn’t get crawled, get crawled and then you don’t get many referrals via search engines. To let your sincere effort not go waste, I have a great and easy trick with me.

When any search engine crawls your website, the first thing it searches for is robot.txt.

What is robot.txt?

It is a text file that mentions the pages that the search engine should crawl or skip. If you have your website set up on Wordpress (like mine), the search engine has the permission to crawl all your pages, from admin.php to login.php and so on.

How to set-up robots.txt?

In case you are using a website based on wordpress, just download this.

If you aren’t, just download this text file (already ready, just download) from here.

Now, just upload this text file to the main site database using any FTP client or File Manager from the cPanel.

Done, now what do I do?

Almost done, just register your website here to get crawled by Google and here to get crawled by all other seach engines.

Now, wait for a couple of days while the search engines do their jobs. Once you start getting traffic, enjoy it.

Their search engine is on the top on Alexa, their video service is the most famous, have a famous social networking site, their OS for mobiles is the current hottie, their mailing service is good, their maps are used by everyone and they have one of the most convinient web browsers. But it seems like these Google people aren’t yet satisfied.

Today, Google announced that they would be introducing an open-source, light-wight operating system which will be initally targeted to netbooks. The developers have told that they are aiming to release the OS by second half of 2010. For those wondering about Android’s move to the netbook segment, the company has said that Google Chrome OS is a new project, separate from Android.   Google stated in their blog that speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of the Google Chrome OS.

It seems Google wishes to capture every area of computing and technology these days. Beware Microsft guys, Google’s coming.
