Hate normal text searching? Search instead by using pictures! Google Goggle

It's so…..finger-intensive, you know?

But if your smart phone is running Android, Google has a nifty option for you instead!

It's called (drumroll please!) Google Goggles

And Google Goggles allow you to use pictures to search the web.

You can see it in action over at

Google Goggles

Here's some more nifty tutorials:

And don't forget:

• Official Google Goggle Blog
  
• A real-world test of Google Goggles visual search (photos)

You can even (get this!) use the above for translations as well!

If that's not coolness defined, I just do not know what is.  So the next time your colleagues bemoan the dippy text searching we all know and adore… set 'em straight.  They'll thank you for it.  🙂

Enjoy,
