SAN FRANCISCO -- The Internet just got a lot faster -- at least after a Google (GOOG) search. And offices across America probably will get just a bit louder.

Leveraging its prowess in computer science, Google announced an array of new mobile and desktop search features Tuesday, including the ability to speak a search query to a desktop computer and run a search query on any personal photo stored on a user's computer. The features also include a new interface for mobile searches that makes it easier to find information about nearby restaurants, coffee shops and other businesses.

But the new service users will probably notice most is Instant Pages, a service in which the search engine predicts the link a user is likely to click. If a user chooses that link -- typically the first link in search results -- the page will essentially load instantaneously. Google says that will save users in those cases three to five seconds on average -- a clearly noticeable difference.

I got the new addons automatically and as I've signed up for their Beta-stuff - and that's what I thought it was. But it ain't! It's here in Alpha and it's super neat.

I was kinda amazed at how it works - it is running on my Google Engine at the mo - and it kinda shook me a little to see it at first - but HEY! I like it!

Bulletin:::

I just this moment heard that you've had more EQs and this time a 5.0+.

Hopefully everyone's nose is counted and all are well.

1209513 2011-06-15 22:01:00 Yeah - Got the news from search engine land. Seems also Big G are quietly building City Pages (searchengineland.com) for USA cities, to maybe compete with Yellow pages, and USA hyper local neighborhood portals such as Outside.in and Everyblock. Plus adding local icons and query builder (searchengineland.com) for Android. kahawai chaser (3545)
