Who is looking for what?

The new service form Google, Google Trend, has opened a new dimension for a smart man. The potential of this service is incredibly high in hunting jobs, regional investment, and also finding the social attitudes.

For example, first I tried to see where the main applications to the my school are coming from. I searched for Georgia Tech, and I wasn't surprised to see India in the second rank. On the other hand, the same search for MIT showed more interested European students, unless we consider that MIT in German means "with"!

When I searched for restaurant, it turned out that Swiss people love dining out, so if you want to make a fortune from Swiss tourists, run a restaurant. Based on the same search but only in the US, New York and San Fransisco are the main cities that people love to dine out.

The result for MEMS in the US region shows where the potential recruiters/investors are located. So if you want to find a job in that field, or want to start a company, try to find your partner from those cities.

To find the mentality of Internet users, I searched for the keyword porn; the result was not very surprising: Brits love Porn! And if you search for gay, South America has the highest turnout. Finally, for the keyword sex, Muslim countries top the rank!

Satellite picture of your house

Keyhole is a new tool that google has recently bought and added to its tool-box. It provides the users with satellite pictures of the earth surface. I tried to find our home in Iran, but unfortunately except the Uranium enrichment sites, the pictures were not clear over Iran. However the quality of pictures over Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq is better. Over the major cities of the world, maps have more details, for example the quality of pictures over Paris is car-size clearance; but the best quality can be found over major American cities, where you can spot people walking on streets and you can count the thick branches of trees, and the ultimate quality is over San Diego down town, objects as big a credit card can be detected! The other interesting thing is that you can easily find the GPS location of the chair that you are currently sitting on, as well as the elevation from the sea level.

The only problem is that some pictures are old. I was virtually flying over Georgia Tech and noticed the construction had been undergoing around March 2002. Hey guys, It's time to renew the pictures!

Also it was very cool to fly over places that I visited on the ground during the fall break!

Google Calculator

Finally I found a place to convert the US fluid measurement system to the metric. For example not only I learned that 1 fluid ounce is 29.6 cc, but also it is 6 teaspoons and one cup is 8 times of it. Now I can understand how much orange juice can give me 100% of the needed daily vitamin C. A big relief! :)
And that's not all: even this calculator can get and give back numbers in the imaginary domain.

Orkut effect

It is incredible that how many people that once you knew, can be found on Orkut - at least currently for Iranians. However during my two-week long experience, I have realized that more than renewing friendships, Orkut makes hostility. It is only required that your friendship request gets rejected, or ignored, and that's it! Also it is a good tool to check who the friend of your ex's is!

Iran Chamber Society is one of the most professional and informative webpages about Iranian (Persian) Art and culture that I have ever visited:

In the absence of a well-documented, comprehensive and permanent source on Iran/Persia that can accommodate many viewers' needs and wishes in providing information on all aspects of Iranian/Persian history and culture, and in compliance with the needs of those who are concerned with Iran/Persia and its issues, "Iran Chamber Society" (Andjoman-e Otagh-e Iran) was founded in 2001. "Iran chamber Society" is nonprofit without any political, religious and otherwise affiliations with any governmental institutions.

"Iran Chamber Society" is the most well organized and comprehensive online source of information on Iranian/Persian history, art and culture without any membership requirement to access the data. We believe "Iran Chamber Society" is a free source of information and must stay away from all commercial concerns. Therefore we will not accept, display, or publish any advertisement in order to enable us to focus on the content and the quality of information provided and to play an educational role. "Iran Chamber Society" mission is not to play a role of "Current Affair Site" as we know plenty of them are available on the net; but our main concern and attention goes to other permanent Iranian issues than more temporary ones. We'll keep updating our site but it can be invisible to who wish to see up-to-date issues. Iran Chamber Society is a "Cultural Center", not a "News and Current Affair" publishing headquarter.

One of its greatest features is its refrainment of being highly involved with the Persian Empire.

As "Iran Chamber Society" cares a great deal about the ease of use, prompt accessibility and quality of information, it will not be accepting entries from companies, institutions, organizations and sites promoting discrimination, racism and hatred. "Iran Chamber Society" will take all steps necessary to disassociate itself from all sites and entries connected to those that violate its professed goals.

از امروز موقعیت اتوبوسهای دانشگاه (ترالی) را می شود بصورت دقیق از روی نقشه پیدا کرد.برای من یکی از هیجان انگیزترین رویدادها در اینجا پیش رفت روزانه ای است که هر روز در محوطه دانشگاه متوجه آن می شوم. به یاد می آورم سال 73 که وارد شریف شدم، طبقه سوم سلف سرویس جدید دانشگاه را بتون ریزی می کردند، در حالیکه 7 سال دیگر لازم بود تا سلف جدید آماده بهره برادری شود! پول عامل بسیار مؤثری است... کن
