Gmail is the most widely used email provider all over the world. As emails are widely used as a means of communication in business and personal levels, security of email accounts become the highest priority.
Google blog has described some security tips for Gmail.
1.Remember to sign out.
2.clear the browser’s cache, cookies and history, especially if you are using a public computer.
3.completely close the browser.
4.If you forgot to sign out, Open up a new Gmail session on another computer and use Gmail’s remote sign out feature to close any sessions that might still be open elsewhere.
5.Don’t send sensitive information via email,like credit card numbers, social security numbers etc.
6. Enable “Always use HTTPS.HTTPS is used to encrypt data as it is transmitted between computers on the Internet, so look for the “https” in the URL bar of your browser to make sure that the connection between your computer and Gmail’s servers is encrypted.HTTPS can make your mail slower,but safety comes first so it is better using HTTPS.Open Settings and choose “Always use HTTPS” on the General tab if you want to turn it on.
7. Be wary of unexpected attachments.
8.Make sure your account recovery information is up-to-date.
Google image swirl-an interactive flash experience

Google Image search is a wonderful utility which allows people to find out the best images suited for our Powerpoint presentations. Google image swirl is a feature which is interactive and fun.Usually in google image search a list of images is shown which can be further expanded to related images search. In Google image swirl the same thing happens but it is wonderful to see how it shows up.12 image thumbnails appear and on clicking on one of the images it becomes the center image surrounded by related images.
I searched for Eiffel tower and got the following images as results
Once you find the group of images you’re interested in, you can click on the thumbnail and a cluster of images will “swirl” into view. For example, here’s what you’ll see if you click the image of the Eiffel Tower:
You can then further explore additional sub-groups within any cluster. The interface may look familiar to those of you who have tried Google’s Wonder Wheel available in the Search Options panel, which enables you to explore related search queries.
Image Swirl expands on technologies developed for Similar Images and Picasa Face Recognition to discern how images should be grouped together and build hierarchies out of these groups. Each thumbnail on the initial results page represents an algorithmically-determined representative group of images with similar appearance and meaning. These aren’t just the most relevant images — they are the most relevant groups of images.
Image Swirl currently works for more than 200,000 queries and Google plans to include more queries in the future. Available queries will auto-complete as you start to type in the search box, similar to Google Suggest.

I came across google wave in twitter. Google wave is one of the most twittered words this season. I was curious to know what google wave is I went to google wave home page, but was disappointed to see that sign u is only through invitations. But I didn’t get any invitation. So I have applied for an invitation next time google sends out invitations.
What is google wave?
Learn from the Google wave team:
Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. A wave can be both a conversation
and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
What is a wave?
A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.
A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.
How to use Google Wave
Google wave can be used for
* Organizing events
* Projects
* Photo sharing
* Interactive Games
* Brainstorming
