Google News soon in Serbian, Bulgarian, Romanian and Slovakian

By Milan Dinić on 4 October 2009

In March, I discovered (via Google Translate) that Google is testing localized version for Serbia. Half a year later, localized version is fully translated and snippets are showing on Google’s main search results page, but is not officially released.

By changing country and language codes, I discovered that localized Google News are also ready for Bulgarian, Romanian and Slovakian markets. You can see if there is a testing for your country and language by changing country and language codes in URL. For example, in http://news.google.com/news/search?um=1&ned=sr_rs&hl=sr&q=obama sr is code for language while rs is code for country.

I hope that Google will soon officially release these products, since now they lack some features like homepage, backlinks in top navbar from other Google’s products, ability to add new sources etc.

New AdSense Unit?

By Milan Dinić on 15 February 2009

Fourteen months ago, last post here was about new AdSense units that started that day. Later they became usual, but in that time they were new and interesting.

Now I again spotted some unit that I didn’t see earlier. It is something like slideshow of products of particular advertiser. It is not flash but normal JavaScript and it was on 250×250 unit, and it seems that it is on image ad, since after refreshing I always see images (there is that google_ad_slot not google_ad_type). Page where I saw it is here.

Full quality download.

Is this really new unit or it is new only for me? I searched on web and didn’t find anything about it.

BTW, I do plan to write something here, I already have some drafts, and also want to publish some WordPress plugins I made so I’ll use this website for it.

Video with scrolling AdSense Ads!

By Milan Dinić on 12 December 2007

While surfing on Net, on one page I saw AdSense feature which was new to me. I checked code and saw that is correct, so I immediately recorded video.

Later I found that others noticed this too, but nobody recorded video :) Google has added arrows and clicking on them scroll to different ads.

Update: Since clip on YouTube is low quality, I uploaded original file with full resolution on DivShare.

I-See-You.Com

By Milan Dinić on 26 October 2007

I saw this movie last on TV and I want to recommend it to everyone. Even there are standard Holywood’s clishes and even movie didn’t get in US cinemas, I think it’s worth of watching (especially if you are one of Internet-addicted).

Kimi Raikkonen Wins 2007 F1 Championship!

By Milan Dinić on 21 October 2007

Men, I told you that this will be one of the best F1 races ever! At last, Kimi won championship (completely deserved), so I need to change my favorite driver. I hope that it will be Miloš Pavlović, who won today’s race in Portugal (started as second), and is now third in driver’s ranking, two races before end. There are still theoretical chances that he can win championship. Commentator on F1 race said that there are unofficial news that Miloš will test for some Formula One team in coming months!
