Search By Smell With New Google Nose

Google Nose Beta

Google’s new product, Google Nose Beta, allows you to search by smell, “seamlessly connecting scent to search.” Amazingly, it works on most laptops and cell phones already. The Google website notes that the Google Aromabase now has more than fifteen million scentibytes of data. You can even test it out right now on your computer by going to this Google website and pressing “smell.” What will they think of next?

Well they have thought of something else cool already. Check out Google Maps Treasure Mode, where you can use Google to find lost treasure:

And did you know that the YouTube contest is ending and YouTube will be shutting down?

Have a happy April 1!

    New Gmail Tap for Cell Phones

    For anyone like me who is tired of those tiny keyboards on smart phones, Google is introducing Gmail Tap. “Morse code is perfect. It’s just a dot and a dash. What’s simpler than that?”

    Happy April 1. For another holiday video from Google, check out YouTube’s new collection of videos on DVD.

    Chimesfreedom Blog To Be Made Into a Movie!

    Chimesfreedom Marquee

    We have been waiting to share this exciting news until the papers were finally signed. Chimesfreedom is going to be made into a major motion picture to be released in summer 2013. We cannot reveal too much about the story as the screenplay still needs to be developed further, but the movie will incorporate stories relating to several of our posts as well as the real life drama of blogging.

    We are thrilled with the support and encouragement we have received so far, and the studio is currently negotiating with Aaron Sorkin for screenplay development. As you probably know, Sorkin wrote the screenplay for the recent The Social Network. The producers are still signing up the actors and director for the movie, so look for announcements soon with more details.

    In the early days of this blog, we never imagined this day would arrive. To celebrate, give a listen to “April Come She Will” from Simon & Garfunkel’s famous 1981 Central Park Concert. [Update: For anyone reading this post after the day it was posted, the song gives an additional hint, but note the date that this information was posted.]

    Who should be cast in the Chimesfreedom movie? Did you know that today’s holiday supposedly has its origins in confusion that resulted from the introduction of the Gregorian Calendar? Leave a comment.
