Enjoy some cool google tricks :
Fuzzy Search : Fuzzy search is type of search made by fuzzy matching. Google returns the results for even the relevent keywords for your query. For example when you search for ~music player, the google search also look for keywords like mp3 music, radio etc. etc. Isn’t is a cool google trick.
Number range : If the thing you are searching for has something to do with numbers or number range, theen this google trick is just right for you. If you want to search for a music player having memory between 10 to 30 gb then search for this query “mp3 player 10..30 GB” The results will show you the information about mp3 players having memory betwen 10 to 30 GB.
Wild card search : When you place a wildcard character * in your query, google will try to replace that * with the keywords that are relevent to the query. For example try searching for “google * tricks”.
Page title search : The page title is the single most part of the page. The title depicts the content. You can search only in page titles using allintitle: before the query. Try searching for “allintitle:tricks”. This query will return all the pages having the tricks keyword n their title.
Google Calculator : Just enter the expression in the google search box and press enter, the next page will show the result of that expression. Try searching for 5+2*2 and see the result.
I will update the list as more google tricks comes my way.

Share Youtube and Google videos on Orkut
Google has just added a new feature inside Orkut which allows users to share their favourite Youtube and Google videos with their orkut friends.
To simply add a video to your playlist, simply click on “videos” link on the left hand side in your profile and then find the video you want to insert and paste it into the open field.
Unfortunately you can not add any other video provider outside of Google Video or YouTube as you get a “Please enter a valid Google Video or YouTube url” error

Some orkut misconceptions
1: ORKUT IS DELETING PROFILES
- Orkut is NOT deleting profiles- Orkut is run by google which is having a 300% growth in terms of revenue for thisfiscal year- They can handle any abysmal requirement of processing power or space- They are NOT experiencing any information processing or storage problems as yet.
2: YOU CAN GET PAID BY FORWARDING AN E-MAIL
- There is no way to keep track of where a mailgets forwarded.- Microsoft will not know if I send a mail from google server to my friend (EVEN IFIT IS A FORWARDED MAIL) unless you explicitly execute some code or click some link.3. Crush List
- the only way of knowing your crush is if both the people add each other to their own crush list.- there is no way of knowing anyone else’s crush’s or your own.

Cool new orkut tricks
1. Writing a star in your orkut scrap -
Write & # 9 7 3 3 before your scrap without spaces in between these characters. And see a cool star icon that comes up in the scrap on submitting.

Add & # 8 2 3 8 before your scrap without spaces in between these characters. The whole text will get reversed on submitting it. Isn’t It Cool.
