<description><![CDATA[Microsoft says the feature that highlights Facebook activity around some of Bing's search results has been &quot;extended&quot; to include any and all URLs.The company announced the expansion in a blog post earlier today, saying that this integration was just &quot;part of a longer journey,&quot; and that it played a complimentary role to the company's efforts in adding a social layer to is results, as it did with Twitter.&quot;This is the first time in human history that people are leaving social traces that machines can read and learn from, and present enhanced online experiences based on those traces,&quot; Lawrence Kim, the principal program manager for social search, said in a post on the Bing Team blog. &quot;As people spend more time online and integrate their offline and online worlds, they will want their friends' social activity and their social data to help them in making better decisions.&quot;The Bing feature analyzes links that show up in its search results to see if Facebook friends have &amp;34'liked&amp;34' that particular URL.(Credit:Microsoft)Microsoft had originally unveiled the social features back in October of last year at a press conference with Bing execs and Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The company rolled them out to U.S. users three weeks later. Last week, Google unveiled a similarly social feature it's applying to search results which takes advantage of data from Facebook, Twitter and other social networks to display links that have been shared by other users. The feature remains exclusive to U.S. users of Bing, the company said.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Samsung's announcement today of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 shows that, like Motorola, it is throwing in its lot with Nvidia, presenting an impressive challenge to Apple's upcomingiPad 2. Samsung and Nvidia announced in Barcelona today at the Mobile World Congress that the Galaxy Tab 10.1tablet will run Google's Android 3.0 (&quot;Honeycomb&quot;) software on top of the dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, the same software and chip being used by Motorola in its Xoom tablet. &quot;We've worked closely with Nvidia to raise the stakes again. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, with Honeycomb and Tegra 2, provides the optimal entertainment and multimedia experience without compromising the mobility Samsung is known for,&quot; Hyungmoon Noh, VP of Samsung's R&amp;D Strategy Group, said in a statement. Samsung&amp;39's Galaxy Tab 10.1 will run Google&amp;39's Android 3.0 (&amp;39'Honeycomb&amp;39') software on top of the dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, the same software and chip being used by Motorola in its Xoom tablet.(Credit:Bonnie Cha/CNET)Samsung's 10-inch tablet taps the Tegra 2 chip to drive &quot;the first GPU-accelerated user interface designed for tablets and other larger-screen devices,&quot; Nvidia said in a statement. Nvidia's forte is designing GPUs, or Graphics Processing Units. With the Tegra 2, it couples an Nvidia GeForce GPU with dual-core processor design from ARM, more or less replicating what Motorola is doing internally with the Xoom. Nvidia continued: &quot;Tegra 2 enables consumers to engage in multitasking, [to] surf the Web quickly with fast-loading Web pages and Flash-based content, [and] enjoy console-quality gaming.&quot; Both the Xoom and the Galaxy Tab should draw some attention away from Apple's iPad 2, which is also slated to have a dual-core processor, better graphics silicon, and a couple of cameras, as well as other features like more memory. To date, with the small exception of first-generation products like Samsung's 7-inch Galaxy Tab, Apple has had the tablet market pretty much to itself. Those days are likely over as heavyweights Google, Motorola, and Samsung bring their technological and marketing prowess to bear on the market. And another interesting twist is that Samsung Semiconductor makes the A4 processor used in the iPad. The fact that Samsung has opted for Nvidia in its own 10-inch class tablet means there's some unusual chip-sourcing dynamics taking place between Apple and Samsung. (The 7-inch Galaxy Tab uses a Samsung chip.) Other features of the 0.43-inch thick Galaxy Tab 10.1 include: a weight of 1.32 pounds, a 1,280x800-pixel resolution touch screen, standard Android user interface, support for 1080p HD video recording (at 24 frames per second) and playback (30fps), a back-facing 8-megapixel camera, front-facing 2-megapixel camera for video calls, and quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) which supports HSPA+. It also sports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 capability. Samsung, however, did not indicate U.S. pricing and availability, or plans for a CDMA model. The companies are also planning to bring out a new Android-based smartphone with a dual-core Nvidia chip. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Google may have just made its big move in the location-based services space. According to the company&amp;'s mobile blog, it has launched Google Maps 5.1 for Android and included the ability to check in to specific locations with Latitude, its feature for sharing your location with friends.While in the past users where able to share their location, it wasn&amp;'t based on a specific physical location, like a restaurant or bar, but just longitude and latitude coordinates &amp;8212' a dot on a map. Now, you can actually check into a place, which adds context, like a caption to a photo.The check-in feature is just one update' Google has also added the ability to receive notifications as a reminder to check in when you arrive at location. For those who may not be hardcore users, this is a good way of building &amp;''active&amp;'' users and creating a routine.Additional features include the ability to create automatic check ins to places of your choice. Interestingly, you can also be automatically checked out &amp;8212' you wouldn&amp;'t want your friends arriving after you&amp;'ve already left.If you&amp;'re wondering if there&amp;'s any kind of incentive, Google has made is so that users who check into places often can secure statuses, including &amp;''Regular,&amp;'' &amp;''VIP&amp;'' or &amp;''Guru,&amp;'' which would show up on the location&amp;'s Place page, a sort of mini website with an address, number, directions and other important information.Competition in the check-in space is abundant. Services like Facebook Places, Foursquare, Scvngr and Whrrl all give users check in capabilities . However, Google appears to be the only one with the combination of features that let you not only check in, but have notifications and the ability to check out, which could help the service attract new users &amp;8212' perhaps even from competing services.Next Story: The new a4AAOL Waya4: Ita4a4s all about the numbers Previous Story: Salesforce makes 3rd acquisition in 2 months &amp;8212' productivity app developer ManymoonPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: check-in, LBS, location, location based services, location-basedCompanies: Facebook Places, Foursquare, Google, Scvngr, Whrrl          Tags: check-in, LBS, location, location based services, location-basedCompanies: Facebook Places, Foursquare, Google, Scvngr, WhrrlCody Barbierri is a social and digital media consultant.
