Google+ getting better day by day!
Google plus announces it face detection feature. Google plus is the fastest growing social network in present era and is considered the future of social networking my many experts. Google plus is improving its store in the fight with competitors like Facebook and Twitter. Google’s newest addition in its depot is: ‘Face Detection’. This technology allows users to tag the photos quicker and easier than before, without manually entering the identity for every individual and individual pictures.
When any user upload and chooses to publish their entire photo album, the new face detection feature will display all the faces found in that album in one place. Then grouping all photos according to the persons that appear in them will be much easier and then tag them with their respective name and the email will be ready within few keystrokes. Users can access this new feature from three different ways.
1st - Create an album from the sharebox or add photos to an existing album. Once the upload is successfully complete, Google will recognize the faces and the tagging feature will appear.
2nd - Add photos from sharebox. Follow the same steps and tag people when the option appears.
3rd - Tag an entire album using button just above the photo previews.
Don’t worry Google respect the people’s right to privacy. If any user or your friend don’t want to get themselves tag in photos Google will inform every tagged person in the album after the tagging is complete so that users can decide if they approve the tagging or not.
Initially, Google provided face detection features with Picasa, but later on, this feature was renamed to Google Photos. To gear up for more enhancements, Google acquired PittPatt, and its copyrights for the technology used in face detection and live tracking. So, now whatever Google have in its inventory is fully accessible for Google + users to relish.

'As we announced in July, Bing Webmaster Tools are supporting the Yahoo! Site Explorer community. Webmasters should now be using the Bing Webmaster Tools to ensure that their websites continue to get high quality organic search traffic from Bing and Yahoo!.
Since the middle of August 2011, the Bing Webmaster Tools have also been integrating traffic data from Yahoo! into its reports. Please check out the Bing Webmaster blog post for more information.
We have been making great progress in transitioning organic search results to the Microsoft search platform in various markets, as part of the Yahoo! and Microsoft Search Alliance. The Site Explorer website will continue to be available until organic results are completely transitioned to the Microsoft Search platform in all markets (expected to be completed by the end of the year).

Don't be surprise with the Yahoo's decision on closing down it's site explorer. Yahoo announced publicly that it would happen sooner or later this year but since November 21st was the last day for site explorer but it is some what of a kinda shocker that it has finally happened for all webmasters. Some webmasters said: "It is basically the last nail in the coffin for Yahoo Search."
Site Explorer was launched in 2005 as one of Tim Mayer's babys at Yahoo and was adored by all webmasters. I personally used it frequently for business and personal reasons and I'm very sad to see it saying goodbye to us, and I am sure it upsets Tim and team a bit more. But you can still experience it features in Bing webmaster tool as Yahoo site explorer merged with Bing webmaster tool to give much better results and I and other webmaster hope that It will bring out new opportunities in Search Industries and Challenge BigG.
