Yes you can now learn a new Language with Google's new Language immersion Feature.

How Google Language Immersion Feature works:

As the name suggests, the feature immerses or puts the words & phrases from the 'language you are learning or aspire to learn' in the countless English language web pages you see every day. The objective is to keep you in a practice mode, even when you spend your entire day staring at English language web pages. To help you learn, Google immersion replaces certain words and phrases in an English webpage, with the ones from the language chosen by you. Thus the feature allows you to learn those words via their context, that is where and how they appeared.

An example will help you know the feature better...

Suppose a Web page with no Google Language Immersion Feature chrome add-on has line:

Apple's Retina Displays may look great, but are significantly smaller than many of today's leading smartphones,

After installing the chrome add-on, you will see the same line with Spanish words and phrases. Like below:

Apple's Retina Displays puede parecer grande, but are significantly más pequeño que muchos of líderes de la actualidad smartphones,

How To start using Google Language immersion feature:

1) Open Google Chrome browser

2) Reach Chrome Web store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore

3) Search 'Language Immersion Feature for Chrome' and install it

4) On successful installation you will see an icon on the Top Right of your Chrome browser window, besides the search or URL bar. Click on the icon and 'Pick a Language' and your expertise level. You can choose from 64 languages. The add-on is already on.

Happy Language Learning!

A new Google Chrome extension, developed by Zane Claes, named Start G+, lets a user easily import his/her photographs from Facebook to Google+. The extension also allows the user to post to Facebook and Twitter from within Google+.

In short, the Start G+ is designed to make the process of transitioning from Facebook to Google+ as effortless as possible.

How to use Start G+ Google Chrome Extension:

Install the extension. And visit Google+. There you’ll notice a new Gmail notification icon, as well as small Facebook and Twitter buttons in the top right. Just sign in to Facebook and Twitter and you are ready to post status updates & see your feed right with Google+. A drop down menu that includes three options: Completely Disable Facebook Features, Completely Disable Twitter Features, and Turn Off Gmail Notifier, are there to provide you with more control on the environment.

Visit startgoogleplus.com after installing the extension.

Once there, you can choose to:

1) import your photos from Facebook. The photo importer syncs photos from Facebook and displays the photos in a slideshow format as they were imported to allow you to monitor the progress.

To summarize, here are the extension’s current listed features:

• Show your Facebook and Twitter streams inside Google+ stream, complete with Stream links on the side, as well as rich media.

• Post to Facebook and Twitter automatically and simultaneously, whenever you share something on Google+. This option can be turned off from within the share window in Google+.

• Add a Gmail inbox notifier to the top bar. Clicking on the Gmail icon shows a menu with unread messages that lets you access your emails directly inside Google+.

• Visit startgoogleplus.com to transfer or sync your photos from Facebook.

The extension will get some useful features in coming days. They are:

• A user can already get a nickname on the site, but in coming days, a user will be able to use a very short URL. Somewhat like sgplus.me/yourname or sgp.cm/yourname.

• Ability to change one’s nickname right within Google+.

• Tagging is going to be universal and beneficial. That is, a person tag placed in a post in Google+, will show on Facebook and other synced networks, if Start G+ extension is used to share it to other networks. The tag appearing on other networks will use the nicknames to link to the Google Plus profile that was referenced. Hence the person begin tagged will get traffic back to his Google+ profile.

• Soon all the links shared on Twitter or Facebook, will be shortened using sgplus.in url shortening service. In addition, much like those twitter applications, which shorten tweets, that are more than 140 characters long; If the post on Google+ is too long to be properly shared on Twitter, then, a shortened link will be added to the end of the Twitter post to link to the full post on Google+.

• Soon, the much hotchpotch in extensions setting page will be sorted , with a separate settings page.

• A more comprehensive notification system for not just Gmail but Facebook and Twitter too will be added.

• Custom Streams an interesting feature will be added in near future as well. These custom circles will combine multiple circles to form a new stream. This is planned to increase interaction between circles.

That is all about Start G+ extension and how it can help you in your Google+ experience.

Now let’s talk about a few inferences on can derive from the launch of this extension:

1) People are spending time on Google+. That’s’ why extensions like, Start G+ are bringing content from other networks to Google+.

2) Only one social network, of the size of Facebook can exist. People will either stay at Facebook OR Google+.

3) Apart from a single dominant social network, all other social networks will become services, providing just one or two services, like real time search, broadcast, photo-sharing to the dominant social network. ---------

SimilarGroup, the makers of several extensions and add-ons for an array of Internet browsers, have released a really useful add-on, called SocialWeb; exclusively for Google Chrome.

The new add-on for Chrome allows the users to easily find the most interesting content on every website. The primary logic behind SocialWeb, was the realization among the makers that the most valuable content for every website can be found through your Friend’s “Likes” and sharing within Facebook and if your friends like it, there is a greater chance you will too.

Created with the aim of minimizing the time spent on searching for the most interesting content, the new add-on makes use of suggestions and “Likes” on Facebook; such that, a simple click allows users to easily access the most interesting pages on every site and the recent activity of their fiends through the social network of Facebook.

SocialWeb’s Features:

 Recommendations: This tab shows the most recommended pages in a website according to Facebook's “Likes” and links shared.

 Recent Activity: This tab will allows users to see what their Friends have “Liked,” or shared in regards to the current website.

 Comments: Here users are given the opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions about what they liked on the current website for all the other SocialWeb users to see.

You can download and install SocialWeb from it's page in the Google Chrome Extensions Gallery:

About SimilarGroup: Founded in 2009, in Tel Aviv, Israel, SimilarGroup makes tools to help users uncover the web. It began with creating add-on of SimilarWeb, which is one of the most featured add-ons for the Mozilla platform (the makers of Firefox browser) with more than 2.5 million downloads, as well as hundreds of thousands of active daily users. The company, hopes to surpass SimilarWeb with its Chrome add-on SocialWeb. ---------

Call it an Engineer’s passion or an act with some outlier motives, but Google engineer Brian Kennish has created a Chrome browser extension/add-on, called “Facebook Disconnect,” which allows browsers to block Facebook from collecting data from the millions of sites using Facebook Connect. However, the said extension allows users to access Facebook.

The extension works in a similar manner as an ad-blocker; only difference being in place of ads this extension removes Facebook Connect boxes and leaves white spaces in their place. ---------

There’re two types of bloggers: One who create content that can be created staying at one place (Blog editor) and doesn’t need much linking and quoting (referencing some other source); other, creates that content which needs a lot of moving around the web and a lot of linking and quoting.

This extension is especially good or must for a lot of moving, linking and quoting type.

Why?

As Blog This! Extension for Chrome lets you quote, link and post to your Blogger blog from any webpage with just one click.

Once you add/install the BlogThis! a blog this! Button appears in your Chrome toolbar.

Click the button to open Blogger in a new application window. The new post is pre-populated with a link to the web page you're on, as well as any text that you've highlighted (before clicking on the Blog this button) on that page (text that you want in your blog post). Edit the post to your liking and post/publish it instantly to your blog (or save it as a draft for future posting).

To use Blog this chrome extension, you should have Google Chrome BETA (if you are not already on that version).

Last year when I was using Mozilla firefox web browser, I stumbled upon an add-on which used to warn me about risky web sites that can’t be trusted. The name of the add-on was WOT or Web of Trust. WOT is a safe browsing tool, which warns you about risky sites that cheat customers, deliver malware or send spam. In addition it also displays a trust rating, rated by WOT users, for every website.

During that time I even informed my readers about an Indian Newspaper site, which was shown to be infected with some malware (big sites cheat too).

Now I use Google Chrome. So I felt the need to have a similar add-on.

A little search, informed me that WOT is also available for Google Chrome (and Internet Explorer as well).

I have installed it, and it’s working well. You can install it too.

And one more thing—WOT informs you about inappropriate content for kids too. ---------

Many a times we reach a web page, mentioning some link or an email address; which are not clickable.

Some thing like this:

http://www.tech24hours.com/

abisht79@gmail.com

Now, if you have to go to the above web address or write an email to the person (it's me :)); then you will have to copy the link and email address and paste them to the respective locations.

This can be annoying, if you spend a lot of time web surfing.

How if, the unclickable urls & email addresses (written above and anywhere) convert into clickable ones. This will save you from copying and pasting trouble.

The solution is: Google Chrome add-on “Clickable Links”. Install it. Once installed, the unclickable links on this article, will become clickable (just refresh this page post installation, to check). ---------
