How to Use Google's New Filter to See Different Perspectives on Any Topic

Are you tired of seeing the same old perspectives on the news? 

Do you want to learn more about different viewpoints on a topic? 

Here's a Cool Tip: Google's new Perspectives filter.

The Perspectives filter is a new feature that allows you to see a variety of perspectives on any topic. 

When you use the filter, Google will show you a mix of long and short-form videos, images, and written posts from a variety of sources, including discussion boards, Q&A sites, and social media.

This means that you can get a more well-rounded view of a topic by seeing what people from different backgrounds and with different experiences have to say.

Here's how to use the new Perspectives filter:

• Go to Google  on the web or use the mobile Google app for iPhone or Android.
• Search for a topic.
• Click on the Perspectives filter.
• For the mobile apple, swipe the filters until you see Perspectives.
• Scroll through the results and see what different people have to say.

Here are some additional tips for using the Perspectives filter:

• This feature is slowly rolling out to users.  Try checking if you can see the Perspectives filter on the web or mobile app version.
• Pay attention to the sources of the content. This will help you to understand the different perspectives that are being represented.
• Don't be afraid to click on the links to the original content. This will give you the opportunity to learn more about the different perspectives.
• Use the filter to find new and interesting topics. You might be surprised at what you find.

An interesting note is that many users would add Reddit to the end of their Google search input in order to filter results to include comments from the popular site.

However, this no longer works well since Reddit's recent policy changes on APIs and moderation has resulted in many popular subreddits going dark or unusable.

So try this new Google feature on your next Google search!

That's it.

Unlock Hidden Secrets and Uncover Forgotten Gems: How to Search in Google for a Specific Time Frame

Can you go back in time?

You can when you search Google and set a specific time frame.

Google is a powerful search engine that can help you find information on almost any topic. 

But sometimes, you may want to narrow down your search results to a specific time frame, such as the past hour, day, week, month, year, or a custom range. 

This can be useful for finding the date-specific news, trends, updates, or events related to your query.

The easiest way to search in Google for a specific time frame is to use the Tools menu that appears below the search box after you enter your query. 

Here are the steps to follow:

• Enter your query in the Google search box and press Enter or click the search icon.
• Below the search box, you will see a menu with options such as All, Images, Videos, News, etc. Click on the option that matches the type of results you want to see.
• Next to the option you selected, you will see another menu "Tools" with options such as Any time, All results.

Tool button for Time Searches

• Click on the Any time option to open a drop-down menu with different time frames.
• Select the time frame that suits your needs, such as Past hour, Past 24 hours, Past week, Past month, Past year, or Custom range. If you choose Custom range, you will be able to enter the start and end dates for your search.

Custom Date Range for Searches

• Google will refresh the results and show you only the ones that match your selected time frame. 
• You can also sort the results by relevance or date by clicking on the Sort by option next to the Any time option.

Searching in Google for a specific time frame can help you find more relevant and timely information for your query. 

Google Time Search News for Apple Watch - April 24 2015

In this example, searching Google News for the Apple Watch on April 24, 2015 returns results for the day the watch was announced.

Try it out and see how it can improve your Google search experience.

Protect Your Online Accounts with Two Factor Authentication

Gaining access to our online accounts with just a few clicks brings both benefits and drawbacks.

Sure, you can log into your Google, Facebook or Yahoo accounts from wherever you are. 

But so can someone else.

That's why always using secure passwords is a must.

But what else can you do to protect your accounts from nefarious hackers and data breaches?

Two Factor Authentication is the answer.

What?

Two Factor authentication provides an additional layer of protection when you log into your online accounts.

When you login with two factor authentication, you'll receive a special code sent by text to your mobile phone that also must be entered to provide access to your account.

That prevents someone who doesn't know both your password AND this special one-time code from gaining access to your account.

Many of your most popular sites such as Google, Facebook, YAHOO, Twitter and LinkedIn all provide this valuable security feature.

Here's how to enable two factor authentication for Google, Facebook and YAHOO:

Google

• Click HERE to start the Google 2-Step Verification set-up process for your Google account.

Facebook

To start the two factor authentication for your Facebook account:

• Go to your Security and Login Settings by clicking  in the top-right corner of Facebook and clicking Settings > Security and Login.
• Scroll down to Use two-factor authentication and click Edit
• Choose the authentication method you want to add and follow the on-screen instructions
• Click Enable once you've selected and turned on an authentication method

YAHOO

To enable two factor authentication for your YAHOO account:

• Sign in to your Yahoo Account info page.
• Click Account Security.
• Next to Two-step verification, click the On/Off icon .
• Enter your mobile number.
• Click Send SMS to receive a text message with a code or Call me to receive a phone call.
• Enter the verification code | click Verify.
• The next window refers to the use of apps like iOS Mail or Outlook. Click Create app password to reconnect your apps. See the section below for more info.
• Want to turn it off? Simply click the On/Off icon  under Two-step verification.
• Using two-step verification with apps
• Some apps (like iOS Mail, Android Mail, Outlook, and Yahoo messenger for PC) require a specific password to connect that app with Yahoo. If you enable two-step verification, you'll need to create a third-party app password to use in apps like these.

And it works like the Android version.

Apple's personal assistant Siri now has serious competition on the iPhone.

Let Google Assistant help you make phone calls, answer your questions and keep you organized in your daily Google life!

Since Apple restricts apps from having access to all iPhone functions, Google Assistant can't always fully interact with the iPhone.  But the ease of use to access your Google services makes up for this.

The new app is available now in the iTunes store.  Download the app   HERE (fixed).
