5 Excellent 2017 Google updates this Spring
A lot has been happening with the world’s largest search engine, so I thought I would post some important Google updates this Spring.
Google for jobs
For those who are unemployed or looking for a new role, Google has announced their plan to launch a new job search but only in the US to start with.
The Search engine giants plan to call this “Google for jobs” that will feature both entry-level and service to high-end jobs.
This aims to help job hunters find opportunities that are best suited to their skills and knowledge.
How will “Google for Jobs” work?
The search engine will feature tools that allow the job hunter to filter out results by location, title, category, type, or date posted. It will also show users information about how far their commute will be from their homes daily.
The job search engine shall roll out in the US in a few weeks, and more countries will experience this in the future.
Google assistant available to iPhone users
There’s excellent news for iPhone users because Google Assistant is now available for download, which could spell the end for Apple’s Siri.
Apple’s virtual personal assistant software started a revolution, and with Apple’s rivals now offering a voice-controlled AI product, it looks like Siri is no longer required.
The innovation works just like Siri. All you have to do is press on the mic and start typing in your questions. This can include asking to find your holiday photos or to call your Mum.
If you are fed up with the inaccuracy of Siri, there’s good news as you can now download Google Assistant for free.
Project Owl makes its debut.
Google’s Project Owl was launched to get rid of fake news and offensive content.
The most significant update was Google’s auto-complete function, where the search engine suggests options complete your query.
Google can now tell if someone types in the wrong information with a tool that will say to the person or company, “report inappropriate predictions”.
Google rolls out new event search feature on app and mobile web
Earlier this month, Google announced that they are rolling out a new feature on apps and mobiles to make searching for events more accessible.
How is Google making it easier to search for events?
The search engine users will now list activities pulled from Eventbrite Meetup and other sites across the web.
How does this work?
If you want to check this out, type in rock concerts in your areas on your mobile phone, and you will see lots of options such as the event date, time and location come up.
All that remains is to pick an event that takes your fancy and look up more details or purchase your tickets from your phone.
