Shop Online Fast with Amazon.com's PayPhrase

2009-11-10T10:25:00.004-05:00

Amazon.com is introducing "PayPhrase" by which we can easily checkout from online stores with just a phrase instead of entering the credit card numbers and address details.

Amazon.com said the following about their new online payment method:

With PayPhrase, you no longer have to register or share credit card information with multiple web sites. Use your Amazon PayPhrase to quickly checkout wherever you see the PayPhrase button – on Amazon.com and other sites across the web including DKNY, Jockey, Patagonia, Buy.com, J&R Electronics, and Car Toys to name a few.

The PayPhrase work similiar like Amazon Express Checkout and makes the checkout method very fast in any store that installs this method.

This PayPhrase will make it easier for mobile shopping, no need to remember passwords, usernames, credit card and address details. Amazon's PayPhrase will be pose a tough competition for PayPal and Google Checkout.

The only problem I see that it doesn't allow us to create a unique PayPhrase it only allows from a list of phrases provided by Amazon and some common phrases.

There were lots of new features added to Google this week, most interesting thing was the voice search option in Nokia, which is also available in iPhone, Blackberry and Android phones.

"This week we brought out some new search tools for the phone and for the web. We also enhanced our universal search with a better interface for product results." - Official Google Blog.

Other important features were the Universal search option which shows multiple products when you search for say digital cameras or outdoor dining set in Google.

Another feature is page preview in Google search results, to do this search for any item in Google and click options and choose "page preview" in the left side bar. When you do this you will see results as well as page preview of the site next to it.

And last but not the least, there were nice Sesame Street logos from Google to celebrate the famous TV show's 40th anniversary.

Google adds a logo for Sesame Street

2009-11-04T09:46:00.001-05:00

I seldom see any new Google logos because I use Google Toolbar to search but the downside I miss the various clever logo designs. This is another one I would have missed.

Today, you likely noticed a pair of familiar feet on the Google homepage. Leading up to Sesame Street's 40th anniversary on November 10th, we're excited to be featuring some of our favorite characters over the next seven days. Today: Big Bird!"Official Google Blog.

If you are a Sesame Street fan you would love this logo and expect more Sesame Street logos until November 10th.

Here is a funny video from Sesame Street and talks about Google even before it was launched in 1982.
