New search result notifications display compromised websites
With Google’s endless effort on improving the user experience, Google now offers a visual notice below a search result which helps people know when a site may have been hacked.
Improvements to Google Translate
Google has added 3 new improvements to their ‘Translate’ feature. The first improvement is alternative translations which can help you understand the true intended meaning of the phrase. Secondly, they have added a virtual keyboard. Lastly, they have added speech synthesis so you can not only see text translations, but actually hear them spoken aloud!

We all are in the Christmas celebration Mood!! Now most are copying the Idea of other website to their website. The facebook face tagging feature is pretty old implemented in Orkut and some other social networks.. However its good that the best features are being implemented in theirs too..
Lets hope for more innovation and user oriented helpful features from Mr. Social Network soon..

Wishing all the Rise To the Top readers a very warm Christmas and happy holidays ahead 🙂
