Every day we get millions of search queries about music. You want to know more about your favorite artists, find that new album or iconic song or figure out the name of that tune stuck in your head. In fact, according to Insights for Search, two of the top 10 queries in the U.S. are music-related. But often, if your answer is in a song, it can take a while to get there. We call this “time to result” — and we’re always looking for ways to reduce it.

Today, we’re rolling out a search feature that does just that by enabling you to search and more easily discover millions of songs, all via a simple Google web search. If you’re searching for music, “time to result” is really “time to music.” Now, when you enter a music-related query — like the name of a song, artist or album — your search results will include links to an audio preview of those songs provided by our music search partners MySpace (which just acquired iLike) or Lala. When you click the result you’ll be able to listen to an audio preview of the song directly from one of those partners. For example, if I search for [21st century breakdown], the first results provide links to songs from Green Day’s new album. MySpace and Lala also provide links to purchase the full song.

Lifetime Digital, the ultimate digital source for women’s entertainment, escape and play, announced today the re-launch of MothersClick.com and the debut of LifetimeMoms.com, two major initiatives to strengthen Lifetime Networks’ bond with mothers by creating communities to connect with others like them.

The all-new MothersClick.com, the first digital acquisition by Lifetime Networks, features a dynamic conversation engine that empowers women to easily find discussion topics by keywords and to engage with other moms across thousands of subjects. Unlike traditional community sites geared toward moms, MothersClick.com celebrates the diversity of experiences and interests of each mother by fostering conversations across all verticals and not limiting them to closed groups. Mothers simply type in words or key phrases of interest and are immediately shown all conversations on that topic, filtered into content types including questions, reviews, polls, photos and classifieds.

LifetimeMoms.com unites 13 top mom bloggers under one umbrella to inspire honest, real and thought-provoking dialogue by moms for moms. These Lifetime Moms provide original content across a variety of categories, including Parenting, Beauty & Style, Fit & Healthy, Food, Steals and Deals, forming the foundation of a growing vertical ad network. More than 50 mom blogger sites currently participate, with plans to grow to more than 200 in 2010.

“Lifetime has celebrated, entertained and supported women for years, and we are excited to announce two great new initiatives to deepen our relationship with mothers,” said Andrea Wong, President and CEO of Lifetime Networks. “MothersClick.com and LifetimeMoms.com herald a deep commitment to fostering conversations and building real communities – not marketing slogans – for mothers.”

“We spent a lot of time designing a community that would enable moms to express their diverse personalities and share their wealth of experiences easily,” said Andra Davidson, mother of two and Co-Founder of MothersClick. “This conversation engine truly empowers women to interact with each other across thousands of topics and makes it easy for moms to freely discuss all the things they care about most, and network through similar interests, locally as well as globally.”

At MothersClick.com, members can ask or answer questions and get immediate feedback from other moms, share experiences and feelings, or join one of the many public or private groups around topics such as kids, coupons, celebrity gossip, health, marriage, child care and hundreds more. Moms can also find and connect with local clubs or mothers groups in their own communities.

  The featured Lifetime Moms and their respective categories are as follows:

  Stephanie Elie - Digital (http://www.bizziemommy.com/)
  Lori Falcon - Food (http://mywoodenspoon.com/)

Mothers can also join online moms clubs, creating a message board and forum around a specific concern, topic or interest.

What you did in Vegas last weekend will stay in Vegas, right? Not necessarily. Think no one will ever be able to dig up that yearbook photo from the ’80s? Think again. Facebook gives users the power to share with the people they care about, but that may include the sharing and spreading of embarrassing photos from the past and present. While people can de-tag themselves from photos on Facebook and edit photo privacy settings, some may want to do more to control their Facebook image. The new WISK-IT™ application, created by the makers of WISK® Laundry Detergent, is designed to stop your friends from airing your “dirty laundry” online by helping you request they wash away certain photos.

The WISK-IT application (www.wisk-it.com/pr) allows users to search tagged, untagged and de-tagged photos of themselves in their friends’ Facebook albums and provides a direct and efficient way to request their exclusion from those albums. “As an expert in stain fighting, we have created the WISK-IT application to help people clean up stains on their digital reputations,” said Elisa Gurevich, WISK Brand Manager. “Facebook is a fun and effective way to connect with friends online, however, inappropriate photos can lead to potentially negative attention in your personal or professional life. Whether the ‘wash away’ request is light-hearted or serious, the WISK-IT application is a useful tool for all Facebook users.”

From college kids who want to keep spring break activities away from their moms; to employees who let loose over the weekend and would rather their bosses not see any incriminating photos, multiple audiences can clean up their Facebook photos with WISK-IT.

• Searching For or Trying to Keep a Job? The economic climate has created a difficult and competitive job market and searching Facebook profiles has now become a common vetting practice during the interview process. Don’t let inappropriate photos potentially stand between you getting or keeping that dream job; make sure to use the WISK-IT application before stepping in the door for an interview or client meeting.
• Haunting Photos. Even though your Halloween costume was funny, it might scare you to know your dress-up escapades are available for all your Facebook friends to see…and comment on. By downloading WISK-IT you can ward off visits from the ghosts of Halloween past and present.
• Bigger Bangs Aren’t Better. Remember that ruffled prom dress with matching bangs? So does your friend on Facebook and she’s not afraid to share it with the world. WISK-IT away before your kids ask, “Did you really wear that?” and keep your 70’s image in the 70’s.
• Candidly College. Thinking of applying for an internship? Rushing the Greek system? On the hunt for a new love? Your peers might check your Facebook profile to learn more about you, which means that blowout night last semester could come back to haunt you. Use the WISK-IT to keep it clean on and off campus.

How WISK-IT Works:

• Once installed, the user is offered a removal request to send to the photo’s owner, such as: “Are you serious? Please wash this one away!” “Where did you find that photo???” and “This photo has got to go!”
• Want to get more personal? Users are also provided with the option to personalize the removal request allowing them the forum to plead their case on why this photo should never have seen the light of day.
• Once the owner receives the removal message, he or she is prompted to install the WISK-IT application and “wash away” the compromising photo. Users are also offered the opportunity to search their friends’ photo albums that may include problematic snapshots.
• All Facebook users can invite their friends to “clean up” their own Facebook image with WISK-IT.

Band Hero for Nintendo DS™ Lite Introduces Innovative Drum and Vocal Gameplay Allowing Players to Take their Band’s Performance On the Road.

Hitting store shelves throughout North America today, Activision Publishing, Inc.’s  Band Hero™ for Wii™, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment systems and Nintendo DS™ Lite explodes onto the scene with the most exciting and accessible set lists everyone can enjoy at home or on the road, featuring chart-topping tracks from the most popular bands of yesterday and today. With the console versions, up-and-coming pop superstars can create the band of their dreams with any combination of multiple guitarists, bassists, drummers and vocalists or hit all the high notes together in the new karaoke-style Sing-Along mode. Fans can also step into the spotlight as their favorite popular music stars with Taylor Swift and Maroon 5’s Adam Levine making appearances as playable characters.

“Band Hero takes the critically acclaimed Guitar Hero® 5 game features to new heights and delivers the most popular artists into your living room,” said Dan Rosensweig, president and chief executive officer of Guitar Hero®. “As our first E10+ rated console game, Band Hero will become the new soundtrack to family game night.”

Band Hero for Wii also features multiple exclusive game modes for Nintendo fans that will allow living room rock stars to interact with their music and friends in a new social gameplay experience. While players and their bands are rocking away on the Wii version of Band Hero, family and friends who own Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi can update and change the band’s set list on the fly giving them the ability to experience the performance they want in DS Party Play. Nintendo DS fans can virtually live the life of a band roadie thanks to Roadie Battle mode which allows up to two Nintendo DS players to connect with two Band Hero Wii guitarists for an intense competition of navigating from one side of the stage to the other trying to sabotage opponents’ equipment while repairing any damage to their own. Band Hero also features Mii™ Freestyle Mode made popular in Guitar Hero 5. In addition, an all-new drum kit controller featuring a slimmer, more sturdy design and quiet ‘floating’ drum heads will be available at launch, bundled exclusively with the Wii band kit version of Band Hero.

Verizon Wireless, the company with the nation’s largest wireless 3G broadband network, and Motorola, Inc., a pioneer in the mobile industry, today unveiled DROID by Motorola, the first smartphone powered by Android(TM) 2.0. DROID by Motorola features the brainpower and breakneck speed of a modern smartphone, designed to outperform where other smartphones fall short.

“We’re proud to work with Verizon Wireless and Google(TM) on the first smartphone to feature Android 2.0,” said Sanjay Jha, co-chief executive officer of Motorola and chief executive officer of Motorola Mobile Devices. “DROID by Motorola delivers a rich consumer experience with warp-speed Web browsing, a mammoth screen, and Motorola’s expertise in design and voice quality. Combined with Android’s open, flexible graphical user interface and the power of Verizon Wireless’ 3G network, DROID is a smartphone that simply doesn’t compromise.”

“This is an exciting announcement for Verizon Wireless, as the DROID by Motorola is the first device that we are bringing to market under our ground-breaking strategic partnership with Google,” said John Stratton, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Verizon Wireless. “DROID by Motorola gives customers a lifestyle device with access to more than 12,000 applications that will help them stay in touch, up to date and entertained, using the best 3G network in the country.”

DROID by Motorola has a solid exterior, intelligent interior and is one of the thinnest full-QWERTY slider phones available. It is a no-fuss, high-tech, location-aware, voice-recognizing, over-the-air updating, multi-tasking machine – and it is available just in time for holiday wish lists.

With DROID by Motorola, you can:

Zip through the Web: Access the Internet at 3G speeds via the nation’s largest and most reliable 3G network or from any Wi-Fi hotspot. The multi-window HTML browser with a massive processor delivers the Web the way you expect.

See it all in cinema-style: View the Web, e-mail, Google Maps(TM), videos and more in widescreen on a brilliant 3.7″ high-resolution screen. Boasting a width of 854 pixels to reduce the need for side-to-side panning and more than 400,000 pixels total, DROID has more than twice the resolution of the leading competitor.

Run multiple applications at once: Customize your DROID with thousands of applications and hundreds of widgets available on Android Market(TM). Toggle back and forth between up to six applications at a time to juggle the universe and your apps.

Perform Google Search(TM) at the speed of sound: Simply tell DROID what you’re looking for using voice-activated search, and it will serve up Google search results based on your location. If you want more, simply type what you’re looking for into the search bar on the home screen and DROID will also search content on your phone, such as
apps and contacts, and the Web.

Capture moments: Snap digital camera-quality photos with a 5 megapixel camera loaded with the works, such as a dual-LED flash, AutoFocus and image stabilization, or capture your friend’s antics in 16 million colors with DVD-quality video capture and playback. Store it all on the included 16 GB memory card, so you always have it on hand.

Multi-task like a master: Keep tabs on all your messages with integrated Gmail(TM) and Exchange e-mail pushed directly to you, but don’t let them get in your way. With the handy Android notification panel, go straight to the message or simply ignore it, and get back to the task at hand. And, a smart dictionary learns as you type and
automatically includes your contacts.

Get where you need to go with Google Maps Navigation (Beta): DROID is the first device with Google Maps Navigation, providing turn-by-turn voice guidance as a free feature of Google Maps. It’s powered by Google and connected to the Internet. Use voice shortcuts and simply say “Navigate to [your destination],” and you’ll be on your way. See live traffic, use Street View or satellite imagery to view your route, and get access to the most recent maps and business information from Google Maps without ever needing to update your device.

Pre-loaded Applications and Enhancements to Google Mobile Services:

Google Maps: With layers in Google Maps, view geographic information, such as My Maps, Wikipedia, and transit lines, right on the map.

Gmail:

Multiple accounts support and undo for common operations.

YouTube(TM): One-touch recording and playback from homescreen widget or app, one-touch sharing with friends, and the ability to view your own uploaded videos and high-resolution videos.

Google Talk(TM): Easily switch between chats, search your chat history, and preview pictures and videos sent by links.

Android Market: Browse and download applications created by third-party developers.

Calendar: Ability to see who has R.S.V.P.’d to your meeting invitations.

Facebook: Syncs Faceb ook contacts to your address book, and a live widget gives the ability to update status and view latest updates from friends.

Verizon Wireless Visual Voice Mail: Delete, reply and forward voice mail messages without having to listen to prior messages or voice instructions.
