Text Search in Video Speeches: Another feather in the cap for Google

This is another awesome innovation... Google constantly puts people in "shock and awe" situation... don't even imagined they could do this.

This is simply unbelievable.. i tried searching for at least two dozen works and everything worked perfectly.

If you want a gadget for it, its also available

Currently the search in restricted to few political speeches but i am sure it will spread to all sorts of things like movies and video songs once they can take music out of the songs and recognize the words (easy said than done, but its google who needs to be blamed for spoiling people with great innovations).

LinkBunch.. cool concept: club multiple URLs into single one.

This is another interesting find...you can put multiple URLs and it gives back single URL which you can use in blog, twitter, ims etc.. nice concept.

Would love to see a few tools developed on this to allow people to do this without coming to LinkBunch.com at all.

Oracle Business Indicators for iPhone 3G

This is pretty unexpected and great news (atleast for me).
Never thought that Oracle will release free software on Apple mobile that too just when the iphone 3g comes out in Shops today.

Great timing.
