There was a day when computer was attached only to English. But toady we can type in many different languages as we want. Even though this was possible on stand alone computers with corresponding fonts, web was an untouched world…!
Today there are many Ajax based websites which allow us to type in our own language. For example go to Google Kannada which provides a simple way to type in Kannada. The best part is you can type whatever you want in your language and copy paste it throughout the web. Even I copy paste it in gtalk to wonder my friends…!
Now Google Kannada supports fe more indidan languages such as Hindi, Tamil, Telgu and Malayalam.
You can also try QUILLPAD which is another good website. Quillpad supports more indian languages compared to google kannada.
Best part about Quillpad is you can type a message in your language and email it directly. You can also toggle between English and your language… so that your message can contain both the languages.
People ever dreamt of a search engine which will aggregate information from many different sources and different categories instead of just boring links..? Then Yahoo! Glue is for you. It a fresh effort from Yahoo! to make our lives easier…!
I just searched for “Mac Air” and was provided with links from Yahoo! Answers, Images, Google blog Search, News, How Stuff Works etc.. it also dispalys RSS feeds related to the search string.
Yahoo! says it is the search engine that helps you find exactly what you’re looking for. Find the most relevant information, video, images, and answers from all across the web… go search whatever you want….!
