Google is here with music subscription service (‘Radio without rules’) to give a tough time to Xbox Music, Spotify, Pandora, Rdio and many others.

The US users will be the first to benefit from this service of Google, and listen to millions of musical tracks, through their tech-gadgets.

After a free trial for a month, users will have to pay $9.99 to utilize this service. A discounted service is available for the early adopters.

The explorer edition of Google Glasses

Google glass had been making headlines on media, and finally some have their first pair of project glasses.

The explorer edition models cost some $1500. It was time for them to try, what’s so remarkable about Google’s futuristic glasses. Unlike usual spectacles, Google glasses have a digital lens on the right, attached to the frame.

Google feels everyone is right-eye dominant. One may have to cope with the right-sided lens pair (of Glasses) as Google does not have any plans at present for the left-sided pair.

One can take photos with the 5-megapixel camera attached with the Glasses, through the touch-sensitive right arm or voice commands.

What does the Title say?

A well-written TITLE tag is essential for SEO. A title or headline is the first thing that anyone finds about a page, on search engine page results.

One should include keywords relevant to the company’s products and services at the beginning of the title tag. Character limits for the title differ for different search engines.

Try to keep the title tag short (64 characters or less), which should be EASY TO UNDERSTAND. A title tag helps the search engine to determine the webpage content, and a well-written title will help one’s website position better on search engine page results.

Besides, with zillions of websites around with similar products/services, the Internet users look for information, relevant to their searches. Hence, the title should not confuse readers.
