Happy first day of summer and of Google Voice Search

Google Voice Search 1
Google Voice Search 2

It's the first day of summer, and it's time to celebrate some small wins in hour life. Wake up this morning, my stackoverflow points went up by 4 over night, YEAH!!! No sure why but freebie are always good.

Google's logo has been customized more than often this year. Today's feature is a very cheerful illustration to celebrate of the first day of summer by Takashi Murakami. Come to think of it, everything could be a celebration in life, and that's great.

I also notice that there is a microphone added to the right side Google's search box. That's right, voice search is here, so embrace it with your arm wide open. The microphone icon takes up the space of a few characters but who cares, nobody has to type any more. Wait a second. Does it even work? So I try it out with full tank of excitement.

me: Facebook
GVS: Facebook (Bingo)
me: repeat after me
GVS: repeats up (??)
me: Good work Desmond
GVS: what's a good work desmond (are you asking me back? umm, need improvement)

The key to prefect the voice input is by speaking slower. In this case, slower is faster.

So try it out, you know where to find it. For more info about GVS visit: http://www.google.com/insidesearch/voicesearch-chrome.html#utm_source=en...
