Google has announced the latest addition to its Google Labs Project, Google Goggles.

This new Google Goggles feature, which follows from the original function that Google Goggles allows you to photograph and search (click here for blog), now allows you to use your Android phone to translate text that you photograph.

Basically, you:

1) Take a picture of some text (e.g. foreign language menu)
2) Google Goggles translates it into your desired language

Google Goggles mobile translation is another outstanding innovation from the scientists and engineers at Google!

I often tell me entrepreneur clients that a good web idea is a quicker and easier way to wealth than any other source - even winning the lottery. Let's take YouTube as a case in point.

YouTube turned 5 on Valentine's Day 2010. That's right... only 5!

The video upload and sharing website has 1 billion views of its videos EVERY SINGLE DAY, and it is only 5 years old!

Google calls its new Google Buzz "...a new way to share updates, photos, videos, and more right in Gmail".

Google Buzz allows social media users to collaborate social media profiles and social media uses into their email inbox, meaning within that one location, they can communicate in all their favourite ways.

It was only a matter of time people realised that Google's web browser - Google Chrome - is very, very good.

Since its first release, Google Chrome was faster than all its competitors, including open source market sharer Firefox, which is developed by Mozilla and was earlier recognised as the fastest web browser.

Google Chrome was so much faster than Firefox that even amateur users were able to make that distinction. They realised that they could do nothing online faster than ever!

Firefox remains an outstanding browser with more extensions than Chrome, but I believe it is only a matter of time until it is overtaken by Google Chrome as the major competitor to Microsoft's much-maligned Internet Explorer.

For those living in another world, Apple and Steve Jobs launched their new product - the iPad.

The Apple iPad has been described as an oversized version of the iPhone, while Apple feels it brings together the best of a laptop and a smartphone, bridging what it says was a gap between the two prominent products for people on the go.
