Article: "Gmail now translates your (scam) e-mails"

Summary: Translation is becoming easier way into more Google services, having been added to Gmail’s labs. If we receive in a different language, there’s a new link that’ll show up in the top of the message that les you translate it. We can also set it up to do the translation to any language of our choice. Translating is only few seconds and we get both the subject and body while retaining the original. We also can switch back to the original easily by hitting the translate link again.

The service will be great, especially someone who can’t communicate in their language. It helps me to make more connection with friends easily when I meet and want to keep in touch some people who don’t speak English or Japanese in travel.

Summary: Google has two new applications, for Google’s Talk service, which will update your chat status with your location every time your check in with Latitude and for a badge you can stick on your blog or social networking profile that shows precisely where you are. Yahoo has already hit Latitude applications, which called Friends on Fire application for Facebook. It lets users share their location with other Facebook buddies using Yahoo’s competing Fire Eagle service. Google is now promising more Latitude applications.

The system is good for parents, who have young children. I don’t know why the latitude service is used in Facebook to find their friends exactly where they are. It could be helpful if my friends are lost on their way to my house. Or for someone, who cheating girlfriend or boyfriend, it could be a dangerous application. (^_^)
