Search and find magazines on Google Book Search

The word "magazine" is derived from the Arabic word "makhazin," meaning storehouse. Since Daniel Defoe published the world's first English magazine back in 1704, millions of magazines catering to nearly every imaginable taste have been created and consumed, passed from person to person in cafes, barber shops, libraries, and homes around the world. If you're wondering what cars people drove in the eighties or what was in fashion thirty years ago, there's a good chance that you'll find that answer in a magazine. Yet few magazine archives are currently available online.<br /><br />Today, we're announcing an initiative to help bring more magazine archives and current magazines online, partnering with publishers to begin digitizing millions of articles from titles as diverse as <span style="font-style: italic;">New York Magazine</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Popular Mechanics</span>, and <span style="font-style: italic;">Ebony</span>. Are you a baseball history fanatic? Try a search for [<a href="http://books.google.com/books?q=hank+aaron+pursuing+babe+Ruth%27s+record&btnG=Search+Books" id="m-8l" title="Hank Aaron catching Babe Ruth">hank aaron pursuing babe ruth's record</a>] on Google Book Search. You'll find a link to a <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=r9QDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA144&dq=hank+aaron+pursuing+babe+Ruth%27s+record" id="j1vj" title="link to a 1973 Ebony article">1973 <span style="font-style: italic;">Ebony</span> article</a> about Hank Aaron, written as he closed in on Babe Ruth's original record for career home runs. You can read the article in full color and in its original context, just as you would in the printed magazine. Scroll back a few pages, for example, and you'll find a two-page spread on 1973's <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=r9QDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA6&dq=hank+aaron+catching+babe+ruth&ei=HpI8SeShB4fkzATJ-KXEDw#PPA142,M2" id="yta9" title="fall fashions">fall fashions</a>.

Magazine articles are tagged with the keyword "Magazine" on the search snippet.<br /><br />Over time, as we scan more articles, you'll see more and more magazines appear in Google Book Search results. Eventually, we'll also begin blending magazine results into our main Google.com search results, so you may begin finding magazines you didn't even know you were looking for. For now you can restrict your search to magazines we've scanned by trying an advanced search.<br /><br />For years, we've worked to make as much information as possible accessible online, whether that information comes from <a href="http://books.google.com/">books</a>, <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/bringing-history-online-one-newspaper.html">newspapers</a>, or <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/life-photo-archive-available-on-google.html">images</a>. We think that bringing more magazines online is one more important step toward our long-standing goal of providing access to all the world's information.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Dave Foulser, Software Engineer</span>

Pirates vs. Ninjas: Who would win?

The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirates_versus_Ninjas">rivalry</a> has become a social phenomenon, from YouTube videos <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHJdve7GNuE&eurl=http://dayoftheninja.com/index2.html" id="mj05" title="condemning pirates' accents"> condemning pirates' accents</a> to movies predicting the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-7vT4GSodk" id="ofq." title="final outcome">outcome</a> of a final showdown, and <a href="http://pirates-vs-ninja.freeonlinegames.com/" id="t:xz" title="games">games</a> that let you decide who's the mightiest. The clash comes to a head twice a year: <a href="http://www.talklikeapirate.com/" id="vet6" style="color: #551a8b;" title="Talk Like a Pirate Day">Talk Like a Pirate Day</a> on September 19th, and the <a href="http://dayoftheninja.com/index2.html" id="g9-c" title="Day of the Ninja"> Day of the Ninja</a> on December 5th.<br /><br />In September, we announced support for <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/google-in-one-more-language.html" id="p-hh" style="color: #551a8b;" title="searching in pirate">searching in pirate</a> in time for the rum-filled celebrations. But when we sat down to brainstorm how one might search in ninja, we had a challenge. As far as we know, ninjas communicate telepathically -- and sadly, our search algorithm isn't quite there yet.<br /><br />In fact, due to the stealth behavior inherent to ninja life, we didn't even know how to contact one for a consultation. We started looking for evidence of ninja activity on the web, and what we found confirmed our own inability to locate ninjas. Over the last four years, searches for ninjas have steadily increased:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAc6RNNacRucCsLJcIzYl2oNKFVEg_kxcOj18HgZth0Y9gMQVh_8e3NlTnhWMwggh1h9J0ymcVjOxNpK5Ux07SKMUx-w_7-7hl9INZGDWe7BsNeQK8ehzLHtMOpTeK64m7WurxiL6IFpwp/s1600-h/ninja+trendsnew.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAc6RNNacRucCsLJcIzYl2oNKFVEg_kxcOj18HgZth0Y9gMQVh_8e3NlTnhWMwggh1h9J0ymcVjOxNpK5Ux07SKMUx-w_7-7hl9INZGDWe7BsNeQK8ehzLHtMOpTeK64m7WurxiL6IFpwp/s320/ninja+trendsnew.gif" /></a></div><br />But does an increase in curiosity indicate an increase in the ninja population? To answer this, we took a peek into our aggregated search terms over 2008. What we found seems to support the notion of a pervasive ninja community. But even that's open to interpretation:<br /><br />Top Queries of 2008 related to "Ninjas Are..."<br /><ol style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><li style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">ninjas are there</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">ninjas are everywhere</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">ninjas are better</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">ninjas are awesome</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">ninjas are sexy</li></ol><br />Are we witnessing a quiet but steady ninja takeover? Should pirates be taking to the seas? Only time will tell. Or take matters into your own hands by comparing queries and graphs yourself using our <a href="http://www.google.com/insights/search/#">Insights for Search</a> tool.<br /><br />Posted by Kasia Chmielinski, Google Blog Team

Google Friend Connect: now available

We're pleased to share that Google Friend Connect is now available in beta to any webmaster looking to add a "dash of social" to his or her site. This service lets webmasters add social features to their sites by simply copying and pasting a few snippets of code — no advanced coding or technical background required. <br /><br />We know that people want to be social on the web, and Friend Connect makes it easy for anyone to sign in to a website, share a little bit about themselves through a personal profile, discover other people with similar interests, invite their contacts, and interact with friends. Even better, you don't have to deal with the hassle of creating yet another username and password — Friend Connect lets you log in using an existing account from Google, Yahoo, AOL, or OpenID. Similarly, you can choose to either establish a new profile or use profiles and friend sources from other social networks that have opened up their services, like Plaxo and orkut. To learn more, watch the video tour below:<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/N94s7ix0JPo&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/N94s7ix0JPo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />We launched Friend Connect as a <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/05/friend-connected-web.html">preview release in May</a>, and since then we have been working closely with a handful of website owners, social networks, and application developers to improve its speed and scalability, ease of use, and customization capabilities. We've also expanded the features available to users with richer, more integrated profiles and new ways to discuss and share content, like including YouTube videos in your comments.<br /><br />Friend Connect's goal is to facilitate an open social web. Using open standards like OpenID and OAuth, Friend Connect makes it simple for people to instantly interact with one another on the sites that they already love to visit. Additionally, websites that use Friend Connect become OpenSocial containers, capable of running applications created by the OpenSocial developer community.<br /><br />In the coming months, we're excited to see more webmasters add Friend Connect to their sites, helping their visitors engage with each other across the web.<br /><br />To learn more, please visit <a href="http://www.google.com/friendconnect">www.google.com/friendconnect</a>.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Mussie Shore, Product Manager</span>

Holiday templates to keep you organized

The holidays are upon us, and there's much to do: Gifts to be wrapped, lights to be strung, candles to be lit, and a long list of tasks at the home and the office. A little creativity can come in handy at this time of year. You can save time and money with the Google Docs template gallery for documents, spreadsheets and presentations.
