Google Cast For Audio Revealed At CES 2015- Video & Details Inside

by Aaryamann Singh • January 6, 2015

After the booming success of Google’s Chromecast, the internet giant have started working on Cast For Audio, an audio-only version of system that streams audio to certified speakers. The first speakers supporting this technology should reach the market in Spring 2015.

Cast for Audio uses the same simple interface as Chromecast. Press the ‘Cast’ button and the device sends over the audio to the speaker. From there, the speaker pulls that music directly from the internet, thus giving the user the ability to do anything else on the device too. Cast for Audio will be competition for AirPlay and Bluetooth speakers, but the fact that Google’s technology pulls the music from the cloud gives it an edge over the others. Audio selection and volume is still controlled by the device over WiFi, just like ChromeCast.

Hindi Advertising Service Launched On Google Display Network

by Deepali Sharma • December 16, 2014

Language becomes one of the most important factors while communicating with others. Be it our home or office or time spent with friends, language helps us to interact with others effectively. Speaking about language, Hindi is known to be one of the most commonly spoken language in India as well as some other countries. Hindi makes a rich audience of around 500 million speakers across the world. Yet there are few fronts where Hindi language speakers lag behind due to lack of their knowledge of English language, one of them being Internet. Internet usage has been looked upon as a privilege for English speaking people and Hindi audience is devoid of the Internet use. Ad makers are often not able to post their ads in Hindi and some people do not understand ads posted in English. Keeping this in mind, Web search engine Google has introduced Hindi ads on its Display network. This Hindi Advertising Service launched on Google display network is expected to reach 500 million Hindi language speakers across the world. This move from Google is to promote the languages across the world.
