Google launched a new service today in from its Labs called Google Reader Play. Similar to Google Fast Flip, it is a visual way to browse through the most popular items being saved and shared on Google Reader.

As per Google Reader Blog:

In Google Reader Play, items are presented one at a time, and each item is big and full-screen. After you’ve read an item, just click the next arrow to move to the next one, or click any item on the filmstrip below to fast-forward. Of course, you can click the title or image of any item to go to the original version. And since so much of the good stuff online is visual, we automatically enlarge images and auto-play videos full-screen.

Overall, the main objective of Google Reader Play is to encourage more sharing amongst users. Give Google Reader Play a try.

How to fully turn off Buzz and delete your Google profile

kuanhoong — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 03:10:06 +0000

Google Buzz, the latest feature from Google has definitely generated alot of "buzz" in term of privacy (pun intended).

With so many complaints from users, Google has finally released the latest setting in Gmail which gives user the option to either hide it or shut it off altogether. Once Google Buzz is turned off, it will also disconnect any connected sites and unfollow you from anyone you are following.

Besides that, you can also decide to show Google Buzz in your Gmail or re-enable it, by clicking on "turn Buzz on" in the same location at the bottom of Gmail. When you reactivate Buzz, you’ll have to remake your profile and start following people again, although your followers will remain intact.

Google Buzz : The new built-in social feature for Gmail

kuanhoong — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 00:13:22 +0000

Google launches the latest built-in social networking feature for Gmail called Google Buzz. The main features of Google Buzz are auto-following of all your current Gmail contacts, easy sharing with the rest of web 2.0 applications e.g. Facebook, flickr, twitter and many more, public and private sharing of updates and Gmail inbox integration.

As per Google Official Blog:

Google Buzz is a new way to start conversations about the things you find interesting. It’s built right into Gmail, so you don’t have to peck out an entirely new set of friends from scratch — it just works. If you think about it, there’s always been a big social network underlying Gmail. Buzz brings this network to the surface by automatically setting you up to follow the people you email and chat with the most. We focused on building an easy-to-use sharing experience that richly integrates photos, videos and links, and makes it easy to share publicly or privately (so you don’t have to use different tools to share with different audiences). Plus, Buzz integrates tightly with your existing Gmail inbox, so you’re sure to see the stuff that matters most as it happens in real time.

Besides desktop browser, you can experience Google Buzz via your smart phones too. Nice!
