The fact is that Google programmers leave various cool chips and secrets, Easter eggs, so to speak. But few people know about them. For example, the right query in the search bar can launch a card game, Tetris, or cause the search results to crumble.

Google does not stop its development for a minute. Updates are constantly appearing, and innovative products are released with enviable regularity. 2016 brought us a lot of new things: changes affected mail, maps, image search, cloud storage and other services of the search giant, but it seems that Google is not enough - it continues to please its users with functional updates and releases useful applications that make work on the Internet. much easier and more enjoyable.

Yes, Google knows a lot about its users, and some are a little scared, because the company's services and tools are so convenient that sometimes it seems that there is no worthy alternative to them. Why is it scary? All Google products are interconnected, it is a single ecosystem, a kind of Internet state with its own laws and rules, and everything the company does affects every Google user. It scares overly suspicious users, although everyone knows that Google is good. But in general, it was about new products, corrected.

FreelanceToday brings to your attention interesting updates and tools from Google, which appeared in 2016

Last year, the addition of a reminder feature to Google Calendar enabled many users to be more efficient with their To-Do lists. Google is well aware of how much people need a really smart calendar, so the developers have added a goal setting function to it. For example, Goals can ask you what habit you want to form, and once answered, it will automatically find the right time in your busy schedule.

You can add any goals to the calendar, for example, physical education or learning a foreign language - Google will immediately adjust your schedule. But what if the system made a mistake and set the task when you are already busy? Just note that everything is done. Did not work out? Click "Snooze" and the calendar will find a new time slot and put it on your to-do list. The Calendar Goals feature has everything you need to help you reach your goals or form new habits effortlessly.

If we talk about bookmarking services, then hardly any of them can compare with Pocked in terms of features and ease of use. Google developers decided to keep up and introduced the Save to Google extension, which is almost in no way inferior to Pocked. The new feature is an extension for the Chrome browser. So far, its capabilities are somewhat limited, but it has everything you need to save interesting links from the Internet. You can save images and entire web pages, add tags, take notes, marking the most important bookmarks. One of the nice bonuses is the ability to save images from Google Image Search. There is no app for smartphones yet, but there will definitely be one soon.

Nik, a collection of photo-editing plugins for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, was bought by Google a few years ago. But something went wrong and the company stopped working on the service, just like it happened with Picasa. The news is both bad and good, because in connection with the termination of support for Nik, the Internet giant has made all plugins available for free. Now users don't have to shell out $150 to use plugins from this amazing collection!

Seven plugins are available to users: Analog Efex Pro (old photo effect), Color Efex Pro (color correction filters), Silver Efex Pro (black and white images), Viveza (color masks and tone), HDR Efex Pro (HDR effects) , Sharpener Pro (to improve details), and Dfine (to reduce photo noise). If you need more information on working with the plugins, you can check out Nik's YouTube channel for some tutorials.

If you need to choose a place to store photos, then Google Photos is the best choice. Users get not only access to cloud storage with unlimited volume - they have at their disposal all the necessary tools for editing images. The service conveniently organizes automatic backup of photos taken with a smartphone camera. You should also take a closer look at smart albums, with which you can quickly sort images into thematic folders.

It would seem, what else can you think of? It turns out you can: Google has added another "chip" that can be very helpful when working with photos. Now the service saves all changes made when editing images. This means that the user can edit any photo and immediately undo their actions if they don’t like something. But most importantly, the history of actions is preserved. It doesn't matter when the changes were made - they can be undone at any time! Now you can not be afraid that a small mistake will ruin an interesting photo. Even if you took a picture a year ago, you can always find it in your collection and, if you wish, continue editing, undoing all previous actions.

The new functionality works on desktops and Android smartphones, the iOS version will appear in the very near future. It's completely free.

METRONOME

Experienced users know that opens access to very interesting tools and services. There is nothing there - timers, games, a calculator and much more. But there was no metronome. Now it is. Musicians will be very pleased - an adjustable metronome has become available to them right in the browser. To access this tool, you need to enter the word "metronome" in the search box and press enter.

Using the online metronome is very easy - you need to select the beats per minute and press Play. Nothing complicated, everything is intuitive. But most importantly, you can carry the metronome with you - the instrument works both on desktops and on smartphones.

Very few people on our planet do not know what google is - the most popular and well-known search engine in the world. This search engine is not only loved by users of the entire Internet network, it also loves its users and periodically entertains them with interesting features. For example, last year, before the New Year, an interesting feature could be noticed on the site - if the user typed the phrase "let it snow" into the search engine, it was snowing on the site. But falling snow isn't the only interesting feature of google. About others, no less fascinating, we will tell you today.

1. Orders for Google

To see how efficient and obedient Google is, enter the following phrases into the search box:

do a barrel roll(make a barrel)
zergrush(the moral of the trick is that if there are many of you, you will cope with the biggest and most powerful opponent)
tilt(tilt page)

2. Playing with the homepage and logo

You can laugh with Google only if the search engine itself does not mind. For example, try to catch at least one ball from the logo.

Chinese developers from Google also do not suffer from a lack of a sense of humor - on the input page there is not only a standard field for entering queries, but also a real sea that can be stirred with the mouse.

If the famous search engine didn't please you and you feel annoyed with it, then you have a chance to destroy its main page and scatter parts from Google around it.

3. Google-YouTube symbiosis

Surely you have already heard the information that YouTube now belongs to Google, since the search engine bought it from the creators and owners, and not a small amount - 1.65 billion dollars. Therefore, there you can find very interesting chips.

While watching any video, press first to the right, and then up. As a result, according to the same video, you will be able to drive a familiar and familiar snake.

And here you can find the so-called interactive piano. Let the video file fully load and play with the number keys. But only this piano is not interactive - sounds are recorded in the file, and when you press the keys, you rewind the video to the right place.

With the help of doodles, Google shows its creativity in its approach to the holidays. On any interesting holiday, the search engine places doodles on the main page. Very often users can interact with them. Here we provide the most interesting examples.

On the day Les Paul was born, the doodle was made in the form guitars on which you can play and even record your own music.

When the well-known game PAC-MAN celebrated its thirtieth anniversary, Google created a themed doodle that you can even play.

If you use it, then go to the Google reader and press the keys in this order: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A. But be careful - a ninja will appear.

Millions of people use Goolge cloud services: free documents instead of MS Office, storing files NOT on computer hard drives, but on Google Drive, and much more.

Oleg Karpov, a representative of Brown Boot Works, talks about useful (and free!) features of Google services and add-ons that dramatically expand Google's functionality.

So let's go!

Built-in "chips"

1. Working with documents offline

Some users have a fear that if there is no Internet connection, then work with documents will stop. This is not true. It is enough to enable offline access in the Drive settings and you can create files and make changes to them quite easily even without connecting to the network. All data will be synchronized as soon as the Internet appears.

The Google Drive settings are under the gear icon in the top right corner. Then check the box for offline access.

2. Search the Internet directly from the document

Often, when working with a document, you need to find some information in external sources. With the help of advanced search, which is called either by right-clicking on the selected text (“Search by text ...”), or by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shift + I, this selected phrase is immediately googled on the Internet, search results are displayed in the window on the right.

3. Web Clipboard

We all use the clipboard to transfer parts of text and pictures between applications on a desktop computer. Google Docs has the ability to use a similar tool, but to transfer data between devices!

Such a web buffer is located in the Edit-Web buffer menu. You can put several pieces of data in it and paste them into other documents, even on a different computer.

Additional "chips"

By default, there is no Russian language, but auto-detect understands it and translates it into English.

6. Automatically Send Reminders to a List of Email Addresses

The add-on allows you to send free text notifications at a specified time to a list of email addresses you specify. This can be useful for sending customer newsletters or discount notifications.
