We were excited to share a virtual reflection of the real world to enable armchair exploration. Since then, we’ve expanded our 360-degree panoramic views to many more places, allowing you to check out a restaurant before dining there, to explore a neighborhood before moving there and to find landmarks along the route of your driving directions.<br /> <br /> Three years later, we’re happy to announce that you can now explore Street View imagery on all seven continents, with the addition today of Brazil, Ireland and Antarctica. You can now see images from around the world spanning from the beaches of Brazil, to the moors of Ireland, to the icy terrain in Antarctica.<br /> <br /> We often consider Street View to be the last zoom layer on the map, and a way to show you what a place looks like as if you were there in person—whether you’re checking out a coffee shop across town or planning a vacation across the globe. We hope this new imagery will help people in Ireland, Brazil, and even the penguins of Antarctica to navigate nearby, as well as enable people around the world to learn more about these areas.<br /> <br /> For example, as summer winds down here in Mountain View, Calif., the famous beaches of Copacabana, Brazil are an enticing virtual travel destination.<br /> <div> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPciAE1z52AOAXhk6c2IbiqiFRLX3WqON4MpA5Ai3oVvbn6rN_MD2E62CSR1jcFSri02OlQnwBuhFOtBKq9Z6Ze_-Uo8jNJi0dyhlkV9xdkQSUN-7tP0ctAOPDduHKc4nb4Ovf/s1600/brazil.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522516889145437874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPciAE1z52AOAXhk6c2IbiqiFRLX3WqON4MpA5Ai3oVvbn6rN_MD2E62CSR1jcFSri02OlQnwBuhFOtBKq9Z6Ze_-Uo8jNJi0dyhlkV9xdkQSUN-7tP0ctAOPDduHKc4nb4Ovf/s400/brazil.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 250px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /> The Ring of Kerry in Ireland, with its picturesque rolling landscape, is another favorite new place in Street View.</div> <div> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiunqAM6mrT71wd9XLZSqDFn1dsLuMHWc4504gDGKZ0cRIyN3_Uh__a3p0zhZQXNz_lQ8371DwNJ5bbcJWt8QIwEWG4IVr_egLjpwt244yncls9ik1EWcL_ybbv81QPFDjJWIJS/s1600/ring+of+kerry.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522516895695686994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiunqAM6mrT71wd9XLZSqDFn1dsLuMHWc4504gDGKZ0cRIyN3_Uh__a3p0zhZQXNz_lQ8371DwNJ5bbcJWt8QIwEWG4IVr_egLjpwt244yncls9ik1EWcL_ybbv81QPFDjJWIJS/s400/ring+of+kerry.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 250px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /> Speaking of travel, my wife BethEllyn and I embarked on the Minerva for an <a href="//maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=104246426956801084815.00047cf949ea62f91bc6a&z=6">expedition to Antarctica</a> in late January.

We were excited to share a virtual reflection of the real world to enable armchair exploration. Since then, we’ve expanded our 360-degree panoramic views to many more places, allowing you to check out a restaurant before dining there, to explore a neighborhood before moving there and to find landmarks along the route of your driving directions.<br /> <br /> Three years later, we’re happy to announce that you can now explore Street View imagery on all seven continents, with the addition today of Brazil, Ireland and Antarctica. You can now see images from around the world spanning from the beaches of Brazil, to the moors of Ireland, to the icy terrain in Antarctica.<br /> <br /> We often consider Street View to be the last zoom layer on the map, and a way to show you what a place looks like as if you were there in person—whether you’re checking out a coffee shop across town or planning a vacation across the globe. We hope this new imagery will help people in Ireland, Brazil, and even the penguins of Antarctica to navigate nearby, as well as enable people around the world to learn more about these areas.<br /> <br /> For example, as summer winds down here in Mountain View, Calif., the famous beaches of Copacabana, Brazil are an enticing virtual travel destination.<br /> <div> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPciAE1z52AOAXhk6c2IbiqiFRLX3WqON4MpA5Ai3oVvbn6rN_MD2E62CSR1jcFSri02OlQnwBuhFOtBKq9Z6Ze_-Uo8jNJi0dyhlkV9xdkQSUN-7tP0ctAOPDduHKc4nb4Ovf/s1600/brazil.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522516889145437874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPciAE1z52AOAXhk6c2IbiqiFRLX3WqON4MpA5Ai3oVvbn6rN_MD2E62CSR1jcFSri02OlQnwBuhFOtBKq9Z6Ze_-Uo8jNJi0dyhlkV9xdkQSUN-7tP0ctAOPDduHKc4nb4Ovf/s400/brazil.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 250px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /> The Ring of Kerry in Ireland, with its picturesque rolling landscape, is another favorite new place in Street View.</div> <div> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiunqAM6mrT71wd9XLZSqDFn1dsLuMHWc4504gDGKZ0cRIyN3_Uh__a3p0zhZQXNz_lQ8371DwNJ5bbcJWt8QIwEWG4IVr_egLjpwt244yncls9ik1EWcL_ybbv81QPFDjJWIJS/s1600/ring+of+kerry.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522516895695686994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiunqAM6mrT71wd9XLZSqDFn1dsLuMHWc4504gDGKZ0cRIyN3_Uh__a3p0zhZQXNz_lQ8371DwNJ5bbcJWt8QIwEWG4IVr_egLjpwt244yncls9ik1EWcL_ybbv81QPFDjJWIJS/s400/ring+of+kerry.png" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 250px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /> Speaking of travel, my wife BethEllyn and I embarked on the Minerva for an <a href="//maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=104246426956801084815.00047cf949ea62f91bc6a&z=6">expedition to Antarctica</a> in late January.

Unfortunately, that didn’t quite pan out, but to be able to pay tribute to one of my favorite childhood TV shows in the form of a Google doodle is easily the next best thing.<br /><br /><a href="//www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=the+flintstones"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522509247168892322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixHI_tgq7hXgQwe8y6KM3h9x1sJX3nkCdzOPhC8WVB-oQeE5X7QQCHX5GVrHJ2S91HzQt4RgzSbN4FBw0WqBiEC68MUnG28ix664hd3v_73mI7Lk6k7FsA_s0G44ON69-g0qZJ/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px;" /></a><br />On the 50th anniversary of its first airing, we gladly salute “The Flintstones” for inspiring our imaginations and encouraging us to think outside of the box, even if it means taking a look back now and then.

He was just 20 years old and he made time to develop the business in between computer science classes at his university. He needed a way to advertise his website from the comfort of his own dorm room, so he decided to test out Google AdWords.<br /><br />His friends didn’t believe him when Antoine said he was going to sell and advertise traditional Middle Eastern foods and goods online. However, by 2004, his business had grown so rapidly that he decided to take leave from school to run it full-time. He then started his second company, <a href="http://www.mosaicmarble.com/">www.mosaicmarble.com</a>, which sells handcut decorative tiles online internationally.<br /><br />Antoine believed there was a gap in the mosaic market and he wanted to share these artistic and historic decorations abroad. He knew there was a market for these tiles internationally—he just didn’t quite know where the opportunity existed. To identify these international growth opportunities, Antoine built on his knowledge of AdWords: He ran several AdWords campaigns, each targeted at the location and language of the test country.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyhUsiJ-F9f5XlvULk3AUnA2P8Y2aExMkdvOmepsT3tj3ZA5scoMr3mqXj0ze570Qd54UnpU6JOkk5lksu2pz0zXKxzwSbXTrJkjupcMrugmkC9B-ejuRTtAk96mpZW86h3eZB/s1600/1o87CAf0kMHka3b4mQRnvG_7kcVPdBg.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520580651908762802" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyhUsiJ-F9f5XlvULk3AUnA2P8Y2aExMkdvOmepsT3tj3ZA5scoMr3mqXj0ze570Qd54UnpU6JOkk5lksu2pz0zXKxzwSbXTrJkjupcMrugmkC9B-ejuRTtAk96mpZW86h3eZB/" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px;" /></a><br />From there, Antoine measured sales and percentage of website traffic from each country and campaign. He ended campaigns for countries with low sales volume and invested in campaigns for countries with higher sales volume and greater return on investment. Where he saw steady product sales, Antoine even had the company website translated into the language of the successful host country. As you can imagine, translating the site to the language of a country in which he’d already seen success only further promoted sales in that location.<br /><br />Antoine refers to his AdWords campaigns as his hidden treasure, telling us that “the second month we started advertising on Google, we started feeling overwhelmed by the orders and the inquiries... We had to hire new employees on a weekly basis.”<br /><br />Mosaic Marble quickly grew from two employees and eight artists to more than 40 employees and 120 artists. And the company’s website is now available in seven languages: Arabic, English, Finnish, German, Italian, Portuguese and French.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhjgS2lApSiq1lZVzENlcEwe6qKAN-qEpXZ9A3mIss8066rxA4JoO2mIFIFDbMP46JWuEcp42LEYSv0pnibnjTiCELvub5vh674Pzs6WQJJ5PVP-GfgYu80Nfk-nOc7473zE2G/s1600/1Wj9Sa9KYO-UPDlObUQTmd76CLqDYVw.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520580658460827170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhjgS2lApSiq1lZVzENlcEwe6qKAN-qEpXZ9A3mIss8066rxA4JoO2mIFIFDbMP46JWuEcp42LEYSv0pnibnjTiCELvub5vh674Pzs6WQJJ5PVP-GfgYu80Nfk-nOc7473zE2G/" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 350px;" /></a><br />In addition to helping him expand his business, these international campaigns helped Antoine and his colleagues share these cultural icons with a larger part of the world. There are now homes and public spaces adorned with these ancient Greek creations in more than 50 countries worldwide. “Due to Google,” says Antoine, “we have customers such as the President of Congo, the Dubai Minister of Internal Affairs, the Princess of Jordan, and the Royal Music Academy of London.”<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Elias Darwish, Account Manager, Dublin</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> <div><i>(Cross-posted on the <a href="http://googlesmb.blogspot.com/2010/09/finding-your-hidden-treasure.html">Google Small Business Blog</a>)</i></div><div><br /></div>In 2000, Antoine Assi founded Middle Eastern export website <a href="http://www.aldoukan.com/">www.aldoukan.com</a>—it was one of the first e-commerce businesses in the Middle East.

To identify these international growth opportunities, Antoine built on his knowledge of AdWords: He ran several AdWords campaigns, each targeted at the location and language of the test country.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyhUsiJ-F9f5XlvULk3AUnA2P8Y2aExMkdvOmepsT3tj3ZA5scoMr3mqXj0ze570Qd54UnpU6JOkk5lksu2pz0zXKxzwSbXTrJkjupcMrugmkC9B-ejuRTtAk96mpZW86h3eZB/s1600/1o87CAf0kMHka3b4mQRnvG_7kcVPdBg.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520580651908762802" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyhUsiJ-F9f5XlvULk3AUnA2P8Y2aExMkdvOmepsT3tj3ZA5scoMr3mqXj0ze570Qd54UnpU6JOkk5lksu2pz0zXKxzwSbXTrJkjupcMrugmkC9B-ejuRTtAk96mpZW86h3eZB/" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px;" /></a><br />From there, Antoine measured sales and percentage of website traffic from each country and campaign. He ended campaigns for countries with low sales volume and invested in campaigns for countries with higher sales volume and greater return on investment. Where he saw steady product sales, Antoine even had the company website translated into the language of the successful host country. As you can imagine, translating the site to the language of a country in which he’d already seen success only further promoted sales in that location.<br /><br />Antoine refers to his AdWords campaigns as his hidden treasure, telling us that “the second month we started advertising on Google, we started feeling overwhelmed by the orders and the inquiries... We had to hire new employees on a weekly basis.”<br /><br />Mosaic Marble quickly grew from two employees and eight artists to more than 40 employees and 120 artists. And the company’s website is now available in seven languages: Arabic, English, Finnish, German, Italian, Portuguese and French.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhjgS2lApSiq1lZVzENlcEwe6qKAN-qEpXZ9A3mIss8066rxA4JoO2mIFIFDbMP46JWuEcp42LEYSv0pnibnjTiCELvub5vh674Pzs6WQJJ5PVP-GfgYu80Nfk-nOc7473zE2G/s1600/1Wj9Sa9KYO-UPDlObUQTmd76CLqDYVw.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520580658460827170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhjgS2lApSiq1lZVzENlcEwe6qKAN-qEpXZ9A3mIss8066rxA4JoO2mIFIFDbMP46JWuEcp42LEYSv0pnibnjTiCELvub5vh674Pzs6WQJJ5PVP-GfgYu80Nfk-nOc7473zE2G/" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 350px;" /></a><br />In addition to helping him expand his business, these international campaigns helped Antoine and his colleagues share these cultural icons with a larger part of the world. There are now homes and public spaces adorned with these ancient Greek creations in more than 50 countries worldwide. “Due to Google,” says Antoine, “we have customers such as the President of Congo, the Dubai Minister of Internal Affairs, the Princess of Jordan, and the Royal Music Academy of London.”<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Elias Darwish, Account Manager, Dublin</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/finding-your-hidden-treasure.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Blog:Finding your hidden treasure: international campaigns with AdWords&url=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/finding-your-hidden-treasure.html&via=google'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/finding-your-hidden-treasure.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/finding-your-hidden-treasure.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/ads' rel='tag'> ads </a> , <a class='label' href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/small%20business' rel='tag'> small business </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='1011787775744556732' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/google-apps-highlights-9242010.html' itemprop='url' title='Google Apps highlights – 9/24/2010'> Google Apps highlights – 9/24/2010 </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> September 24, 2010 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span style="font-style:italic;">This is part of a regular series of Google Apps updates that we post every couple of weeks.

Your spirit and participation surpassed even our most optimistic expectations. People from more than 170 countries submitted more than 150,000 ideas. We selected <a href="http://www.project10tothe100.com/ideas.html">16 big ideas</a> and asked the public to vote for their favorites. The five ideas that received the most votes are the winners of Project 10^100. Over the past 12 months, we’ve reviewed concrete proposals to tackle these ideas, and today we’re pleased to give a total of $10 million to five inspiring organizations working on solutions to each of these global challenges:<br /><br /><b>Idea</b>: Make educational content available online for free<br /><b>Project funded</b>: The <a href="http://khanacademy.org/">Khan Academy</a> is a non-profit educational organization that provides high-quality, free education to anyone, anywhere via an online library of more than 1,600 teaching videos. We are providing $2 million to support the creation of more courses and to enable the Khan Academy to translate their core library into the world’s most widely spoken languages.<br /><br /><b>Idea</b>: Enhance science and engineering education<br /><b>Project funded</b>: <a href="http://www.usfirst.org/">FIRST</a> is a non-profit organization that promotes science and math education around the world through team competition. Its mission is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders by giving them real world experience working with professional engineers and scientists. We are providing $3 million to develop and jump start new student-driven robotics team fundraising programs that will empower more student teams to participate in FIRST.<br /><br /><b>Idea</b>: Make government more transparent<br /><b>Project funded</b>: <a href="http://public.resource.org/">Public.Resource.Org</a> is a non-profit organization focused on enabling online access to public government documents in the United States. We are providing $2 million to Public.Resource.Org to support the Law.Gov initiative, which aims to make all primary legal materials in the United States available to all.<br /><br /><b>Idea</b>: Drive innovation in public transport<br /><b>Project funded</b>: <a href="http://shweeb.com/">Shweeb</a> is a concept for short to medium distance, urban personal transport, using human-powered vehicles on a monorail. We are providing $1 million to fund research and development to test Shweeb’s technology for an urban setting.<br /><br /><b>Idea</b>: Provide quality education to African students<br /><b>Project funded</b>: The <a href="http://www.aims.ac.za/">African Institute for Mathematical Sciences</a> (AIMS) is a center for math and science education and research in Cape Town, South Africa. AIMS’ primary focus is a one-year bridge program for recent university graduates that helps build skills and knowledge prior to master's and Ph.D. study.

Rogue pharmacies are bad for our users, for legitimate online pharmacies and for the entire e-commerce industry—so we are going to keep investing time and money to stop these kinds of harmful practices.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Michael Zwibelman, Litigation Counsel</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/taking-rogue-pharmacies-to-court.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Blog:Taking rogue pharmacies to court&url=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/taking-rogue-pharmacies-to-court.html&via=google'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/taking-rogue-pharmacies-to-court.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/taking-rogue-pharmacies-to-court.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/ads' rel='tag'> ads </a> , <a class='label' href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/policy%20and%20issues' rel='tag'> policy and issues </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='718467274384494826' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/your-questions-on-future-of-iraq.html' itemprop='url' title='Your questions on the future of Iraq'> Your questions on the future of Iraq </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> September 21, 2010 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span style="font-style: italic;">(Cross-posted from <a href="http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2010/09/your-questions-on-future-of-iraq.html">the YouTube Blog</a>)</span><br /><br />There is perhaps no other country in the world that has undergone more change or been under more scrutiny in the past decade than Iraq.

Just as shades of color can add depth to a picture, smart font choices give your text another dimension.<br /><br />For a long time, the set of fonts that you’ve seen when you browsed the web has been quite limited. That’s because you could only use a font that’s already been installed on your computer. So if a website designer wanted all her visitors to see the same thing, she could only use fonts that are so ubiquitous that the chances are very high that every computer will have them. And there are only a handful of fonts that fit that bill.<br /><br />Thankfully, that situation is changing. All modern browsers now support the ability to download web fonts. A web font doesn’t need to be installed on your local computer—it can be read directly from a web server and used immediately on the webpage that you’re loading. In May, we launched the <a href="http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2010/05/introducing-google-font-api-google-font.html">Google Font API</a>, which makes it easy for website developers to include any one of an <a href="http://code.google.com/webfonts">ever-growing list of web fonts</a> on their pages. We’re already using the new API for the <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-themes-in-google-forms.html">latest themes in Google forms</a>.<br /><br />As of today, Google documents supports web fonts (using the Google Font API) and we’re excited to announce six new fonts.<br /><br /><b>Droid Serif and Droid Sans</b><br />Android fans will already be familiar with the Droid family of fonts. Droid Serif and Droid Sans both feature strong vertical lines and a neutral, yet friendly appearance. They’re designed specifically for reading on small screens.<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbspgW8nczwZ9qhuxvWIq-4pKSGb6-4bZsrvomXeEXJhw2RfyKULWLcW4xQ0bpssx_5F8sCHhaYV3ENXrlN7EaXRft00SN8aftV56LMmBf7dEm78KCvMfRNb6IXxewwl5lNR6K/s1600/droid.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519383157318723442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbspgW8nczwZ9qhuxvWIq-4pKSGb6-4bZsrvomXeEXJhw2RfyKULWLcW4xQ0bpssx_5F8sCHhaYV3ENXrlN7EaXRft00SN8aftV56LMmBf7dEm78KCvMfRNb6IXxewwl5lNR6K/s400/droid.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 243px;" /></a><br /><b>Calibri and Cambria</b><br />Every day we have many people import documents from Microsoft Word into Google Docs. Today we’re making import fidelity better by adding two of the most popular Microsoft Word fonts. Calibri is a beautiful sans serif font characterized by curves and soft edges. It’s designed to be high impact. Cambria is built with strong vertical <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serif">serifs</a> and subtle horizontal ones. It’s very legible when printed at small sizes.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikGzp6QaQspj6nIRJvwAPhlQN2Rdi749B8xlNsbjgN3x4rESV-9YerED4alnCn-67pnEjobR0LkfyW_q2x3AjIHvvO1BMzGhchr4OpAW8cg_Crh4U_cuLr5ADiyui4xcgcqcGl/s1600/calibri.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519383164512294066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikGzp6QaQspj6nIRJvwAPhlQN2Rdi749B8xlNsbjgN3x4rESV-9YerED4alnCn-67pnEjobR0LkfyW_q2x3AjIHvvO1BMzGhchr4OpAW8cg_Crh4U_cuLr5ADiyui4xcgcqcGl/s400/calibri.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 257px;" /></a><br /><b>Consolas and Corsiva</b><br />Consolas joins Courier New as the second <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monospaced_font">monospaced</a> font in Google Docs.

Just as shades of color can add depth to a picture, smart font choices give your text another dimension.<br /><br />For a long time, the set of fonts that you’ve seen when you browsed the web has been quite limited. That’s because you could only use a font that’s already been installed on your computer. So if a website designer wanted all her visitors to see the same thing, she could only use fonts that are so ubiquitous that the chances are very high that every computer will have them. And there are only a handful of fonts that fit that bill.<br /><br />Thankfully, that situation is changing. All modern browsers now support the ability to download web fonts. A web font doesn’t need to be installed on your local computer—it can be read directly from a web server and used immediately on the webpage that you’re loading. In May, we launched the <a href="http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2010/05/introducing-google-font-api-google-font.html">Google Font API</a>, which makes it easy for website developers to include any one of an <a href="http://code.google.com/webfonts">ever-growing list of web fonts</a> on their pages. We’re already using the new API for the <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-themes-in-google-forms.html">latest themes in Google forms</a>.<br /><br />As of today, Google documents supports web fonts (using the Google Font API) and we’re excited to announce six new fonts.<br /><br /><b>Droid Serif and Droid Sans</b><br />Android fans will already be familiar with the Droid family of fonts. Droid Serif and Droid Sans both feature strong vertical lines and a neutral, yet friendly appearance. They’re designed specifically for reading on small screens.<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbspgW8nczwZ9qhuxvWIq-4pKSGb6-4bZsrvomXeEXJhw2RfyKULWLcW4xQ0bpssx_5F8sCHhaYV3ENXrlN7EaXRft00SN8aftV56LMmBf7dEm78KCvMfRNb6IXxewwl5lNR6K/s1600/droid.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519383157318723442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbspgW8nczwZ9qhuxvWIq-4pKSGb6-4bZsrvomXeEXJhw2RfyKULWLcW4xQ0bpssx_5F8sCHhaYV3ENXrlN7EaXRft00SN8aftV56LMmBf7dEm78KCvMfRNb6IXxewwl5lNR6K/s400/droid.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 243px;" /></a><br /><b>Calibri and Cambria</b><br />Every day we have many people import documents from Microsoft Word into Google Docs. Today we’re making import fidelity better by adding two of the most popular Microsoft Word fonts. Calibri is a beautiful sans serif font characterized by curves and soft edges. It’s designed to be high impact. Cambria is built with strong vertical <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serif">serifs</a> and subtle horizontal ones. It’s very legible when printed at small sizes.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikGzp6QaQspj6nIRJvwAPhlQN2Rdi749B8xlNsbjgN3x4rESV-9YerED4alnCn-67pnEjobR0LkfyW_q2x3AjIHvvO1BMzGhchr4OpAW8cg_Crh4U_cuLr5ADiyui4xcgcqcGl/s1600/calibri.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519383164512294066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikGzp6QaQspj6nIRJvwAPhlQN2Rdi749B8xlNsbjgN3x4rESV-9YerED4alnCn-67pnEjobR0LkfyW_q2x3AjIHvvO1BMzGhchr4OpAW8cg_Crh4U_cuLr5ADiyui4xcgcqcGl/s400/calibri.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 257px;" /></a><br /><b>Consolas and Corsiva</b><br />Consolas joins Courier New as the second <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monospaced_font">monospaced</a> font in Google Docs.

That’s why we act every day to maximize free expression and access to information. To promote transparency around this flow of information, we’ve built an interactive online <a href="//www.google.com/transparencyreport/">Transparency Report</a> with tools that allow people to see where governments are demanding that we remove content and where Google services are being blocked. We believe that this kind of transparency can be a deterrent to censorship.<br /><br />Like all companies, Google’s services occasionally experience traffic disruptions. Our new traffic tracking tool helps us and others track whether these interruptions are related to mechanical outages or are government-induced. Each traffic graph shows historic traffic patterns for a given country and service. Graphs are updated as data is collected, then normalized and scaled in units of 0 to 100.

That’s why we act every day to maximize free expression and access to information. To promote transparency around this flow of information, we’ve built an interactive online <a href="//www.google.com/transparencyreport/">Transparency Report</a> with tools that allow people to see where governments are demanding that we remove content and where Google services are being blocked. We believe that this kind of transparency can be a deterrent to censorship.<br /><br />Like all companies, Google’s services occasionally experience traffic disruptions. Our new traffic tracking tool helps us and others track whether these interruptions are related to mechanical outages or are government-induced. Each traffic graph shows historic traffic patterns for a given country and service. Graphs are updated as data is collected, then normalized and scaled in units of 0 to 100. This new tool—which is global and includes China—will replace the <a href="//www.google.com/transparencyreport/traffic/?r=CN">Mainland China service availability chart</a>, which showed product access for China alone.

(We were so eager to taste the harvest that we neglected to use the scales that had been set up!) We also determined it was more or less a dead heat for which hive was the most productive. Even with such a harvest, we made sure we left enough honey behind to allow the bees to get comfortably through the winter months.<br /><br />The honey is being put to good use—everyone who participated in the extraction got a jar to take home, while the rest of the honey will be used in the cafes and for cooking classes organized by Marc Rasic, an executive chef at Google and one of the people behind the beekeeping initiative.<br /><br />We’re also relieved that none of the hives have succumbed to Colony Collapse Disorder, but we’ll be keeping a close eye on them over the winter months to ensure that they stay happy, healthy and ready to start work again in the spring.

We’ve learned a lot from you! You’ve confirmed that having a central place online to store and share medical data with whomever you want is important and a step in the right direction. And we’ve added a number of features based on what you’ve asked for so far. But you’ve also told us that it’s not enough; that you’re also looking for tools that will help you act on all your health and wellness concerns. We’ve heard you ask for easier data tracking, more personalization and the ability to set and track progress toward your health goals. We’ve listened, and today we’re announcing a new design and new features for Google Health.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-QMEb4ysetVYnKQa5cDdCfoRTf12l2FppMDRFRCmjH04QwIZ-a6N3pdc2t0vPlysYHVw0TFXzwdOa3pbCyRe34ZKXGSa-NGTp1zsDZB__xQv4FAZE0hmDtZN4jLuyl5K8WcSN/s1600/Dashboard_Cutout_Final.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516873053811512066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-QMEb4ysetVYnKQa5cDdCfoRTf12l2FppMDRFRCmjH04QwIZ-a6N3pdc2t0vPlysYHVw0TFXzwdOa3pbCyRe34ZKXGSa-NGTp1zsDZB__xQv4FAZE0hmDtZN4jLuyl5K8WcSN/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px;" /></a><br />So what’s new? Well, we’ve developed an easier-to-use dashboard that brings together even more of your health and wellness information in one place and makes it easier for you to organize and act on that information. We’ve also heard from you that focusing on wellness, and wellness goals, is a big part of the solution, and that it’s important to record your daily experience and set goals.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAqbeRRNpnkhsrCs92N7U-zS8sjOZ9jGHfrpmlZt6pvOob8JADEUdXkFki1P4_U_2_g0ZFm7p4gcZ8ELAyuuqsxJyGtR7cbPMT6-Ro1brvXKntulOKu5KcYPAVo6u3cClpvx99/s1600/WeightTrackerChart_Final.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516873062705243762" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAqbeRRNpnkhsrCs92N7U-zS8sjOZ9jGHfrpmlZt6pvOob8JADEUdXkFki1P4_U_2_g0ZFm7p4gcZ8ELAyuuqsxJyGtR7cbPMT6-Ro1brvXKntulOKu5KcYPAVo6u3cClpvx99/" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px;" /></a><br />So our new re-design better organizes your medical information, while creating a more welcoming place to set goals for yourself and check in daily on your progress. For example, you might want to set a goal around walking more each day or to lower your cholesterol over time. With our new design, you can easily monitor your path to success with a visual graph that shows your progress towards your personalized goal. You can even create custom trackers for other things that you want to monitor like daily sleep, exercise, pregnancy or even how many cups of coffee you drink a day.<br /><br />We’ve also integrated with several new partners to make it easier for you to collect the data you need to track your progress, including <a href="http://www.fitbit.com/">Fitbit</a>, maker of a wearable device that captures health and wellness data such as steps taken, calories burned and sleep quality; and <a href="http://www.worksmartlabs.com/cardiotrainer/about.php">CardioTrainer</a>, one of the top mobile apps for tracking fitness activity and weight loss. In the two weeks since CardioTrainer’s integration went live, CardioTrainer developer <a href="http://www.worksmartlabs.com/company.php">WorkSmart Labs</a> reports that users have already uploaded more than 150,000 workouts to Google Health, where they can more easily view, track and set goals around their workouts and monitor them along with other health and wellness information.<br /><br />Besides tracking progress toward your health goals, our new design also gives you the ability to take notes or keep a journal on your progress for each health condition or medication you’re taking. The new design also delivers information that is more personalized to your particular set of medical conditions or specific medications. You can access improved content links for each medical condition, medication or lab result you have in your Google Health profile. And we’ve made the Google Health profile easier to read and customize, with the ability to hide past items or sections that are outdated or no longer relevant. All of this helps you keep your dashboard up-to-date with current, relevant information, while still letting you maintain a complete health history.<br /><br />In addition to redesigning the product and forming new partnerships with device and mobile apps developers, we’ve continued to expand our more traditional integrations with hospitals and other healthcare data providers. Three recent highlights include <a href="http://www.lpch.org/">Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford</a>, <a href="http://www.upmc.com/Pages/default.aspx">University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC)</a> and <a href="http://www.sharp.com/index.cfm">Sharp HealthCare</a>.<br /><br />With this update, we’ve made Google Health an even more powerful tool for organizing all your health information online, and also for achieving your health and wellness goals. We think you’ll find that organized, measurable and engaging information helps make it easier to achieve better health and wellness.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Aaron Brown, Senior Product Manager</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> <a href="//www.google.com/intl/en-US/health/about/">Google Health</a> launched a bit over two years ago, and since then we’ve been listening to our users, analyzing feedback and <a href="http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2010/09/focusing-on-our-users-google-health.html">conducting research</a>.
