The “I’m Feeling Lucky” button is one of the very few things that stand out on Google’s minimalistic homepage.

Clicking the “I’m
feeling lucky” Button automatically takes you to the first search result and it’s helpful for navigational queries, when there’s a single good result (e.g.: [Yahoo Mail], [download Opera]) etc.

What’s the “I’m feeling lucky” Button at Google ?

“The reason it’s called ‘I’m
Feeling Lucky,’ is of course that’s a pretty damn ambitious goal. I mean to get the exact right one thing without even giving you a list of choices, and so you have to feel a little bit lucky if you’re going to try that with one go,” tried to explain Sergey Brin.

Even if only 1% from Google’s searches bypass the search results page and go straight to the top result, Google will keep the strange button on the homepage as it has become a part of its brand.

How Much Google Loses for “I’m feeling lucky” Button

Google cofounder Sergey Brin confirmed that around one percent of all Google searches go through the “I’m
Feeling Lucky” button. Because the button takes users directly to the top search result, Google doesn’t get to show search ads on one percent of all its searches. That costs the company around $110 million in annual revenue, according to Rapt’s Tom Chavez.

So why does Google keep such a costly button around ?  “It’s possible to become too dry, too corporate, too much about making money. I think what’s delightful about ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ is that it reminds you there are real people here,” Google exec Marissa Mayer explained.

When your website first reaches a million visitors, it’s a great milestone. However, one billion views per day can only be attained by the selected few, and YouTube is now one of them.

According to the official blog, YouTube is serving “well over a billion views a day”. That’s at least 11,574 views per second, 694,444 views per minute, and 41,666,667 views per hour. Imagine the web server farm that can withstand that much traffic, and then remember that YouTube is just one of Google’s many properties.

YouTube still may not be making enough money to justify the 1.65 billion dollars Google has paid for it, but it definitely makes it up when it comes to visitors.

To celebrate the occasion, YouTube has a special logo today, accompanied with the text “1 billion views per day”. Yes, they’re bragging, but one has to admit they have a lot to brag about.

Bing has just launched a new feature called Visual Search where you can search stuff with the mouse without having to any text queries.

Yoga Poses are another interesting feature of Bing. Basically you can narrow down search results to yoga poses that help in the ailment of particular diseases or poses that are beneficial for different body parts (arms, heart, etc.).

Then you have travel destinations to help you plan your next family vacation.

You can not only filter places visually based on countries and on months when you are planning to take a break. And if things look a bit confusing, just choose the “Most popular on Bing” option to just see places that are most popular on the web.

If you don’t have the Silverlight plugin on your computer yet, it’s time to get one else you’ll miss using something that not only beautiful but very useful as well.

Jonathan Ive, the man behind the design of Apple iPhone and iPod, recently created a giant iPod model that he sent as a gift to British fashion designer Sir Paul Smith on his birthday.

While a device of that size may not be very practical, ft.com has revealed that Apple is actually working to release a large-screen iPod sometime during Christmas.

Apple is racing to offer a full-featured, tablet-sized computer in time for the Christmas shopping season. The touch-sensitive device will have a screen that may be up to 10 inches diagonally.

It will connect to the internet like the iPod Touch – probably without phone capability but with access to the web, and to Apple’s online stores for software and entertainment.

The price of the new 10″ Apple iPod Tablet could be anywhere between $600 and $1,000 according to the same report.
