The questions we ask reveal who we are

The biggest moments of 2015 inspired trillions of questions. See what the world wanted to know. From the Paris attacks and the Syrian refugee crisis, to the biggest blockbuster science fiction movie we can think of, we all turned to Google at some point this year to find what we were looking for. For the people out there wondering what this is all about. Whether it is about courage or controversy. Well, I'll tell you what it's all about. It's about what happens from here. It's not just about one person. It's about thousands of people, It's about all of us accepting one another. We're all different, that's not a bad thing, that's a good thing. And, while it may not be easy to get past the things you don't always understand, it is absolutely possible, if we only do it together. Take a look back to what mattered to us this year through full Year in Search: http://google.com/2015 In case you missed the previous Google Zeitgeists: › 2014:...

Meet The New Google+: Simpler, Faster, Better

After using it for last week, I find, It's the same but not the same. The New +Google+  is fast, super light and highly responsive and yes as always is all about the stuff you're into and the people who get you. The focus is on the redesign , the bold colors, and the improved access to Collections and Communities(these are the places on Google+ where people around the world are spending their time discovering and sharing things they love), but there's a better story hiding there for everyone. As much as I've loved Google+ , it was stupid slow to load, it used to leave Chrome often in a laggy state. The last thing minimalism lovers like me want is bloat, and I knew Google could change this. So, they did , and it is freaking awesome to see, how much they've done in the background to get to this speed. So, this change is welcome. Developers have even published a case study on the work that went behind this redesign. Why are they changing so much? Reach . Fa...

Partitions divide countries, friendships find a way

A wonderful story from Google showing how human passion and hope can overcome time and borders. In this story, a woman in India reunites her grandfather with his childhood friend (now in Pakistan) following six decades of separation with a little help from Google. Whether you're in Pakistan or India or simply have a soft spot in your heart for stories of reunited friends. Well, then watch this. This is a reflection of the many stories of reunion. If you find it moving, do share it. We are all incredibly fortunate to be living in today's world where technology is helping us become more human.
