Google India & ASI Teamed Up to Show 360 Panoramic Imagery of Indian Monuments Online

Archaeological Survey of India & Google Tie Up to Show Indian Heritage Online


For those who are unable to visit Indian Monuments there is a hope from Google and ASI. Soon, anyone in the world will be able to see 360 degree view of Indian Heritage Monuments via the collaboration of Google and Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).


For this Google has signed a memorandum with the Ministry of India. At Qutab Minar, Union Culture Minister Chandresh Kumari Katoch and Google Cultural Institute Director Amit Sood signed the memorandum on behalf of India and Google, respectively.


The Google Cultural Institute Director Amit Sood said to PTI, "We wanted enhanced and an active experience for our (virtual) visitors and not just mere passive viewing of the sites. And, that's why we want to partner with agencies like the ASI, UNESCO, World Monuments Fund to source authoritative content - current and archival to enrich user's experience".

Chandresh Kumari Katoch said, “We have always embraced technology. The new panoramic imagery of monuments will allow the ASI to boldly take forward its mission of embracing partnerships for the future in order to preserve and propagate the rich heritage of India’s past.”

Google is planning to use Google Trekker technology that takes Street View off-road. Via Google's Street View backpack, Google has captured the world's beauty like Eiffel Tower, Grand Canyon, Galapalagos Islands etc. on Google Map's Street View. Now, it's time for the world to see the Indian Heritage monuments like the Taj Mahal, Humayun’s Tomb and the Ajanta and Ellora caves etc, a total of 100 heritage sites of the country.

As soon as Google will finish the Indian Monuments 360-degree panoramic imagery task, it will be uploaded to Google Maps and on Google Cultural Institute’s World Wonders site. With the completion of the project, the gate for "virtual tourism" or "digital tourism" of India will be opened to the world.

Finally Google Enables Request Indexing Feature in Google Search Console After Disabling It for Two Months

By
"Page actions are temporarily disabled" Google Search Console’s URL Inspection Tool Was Down Since From October 2020 and a message "Page actions are temporarily disabled" was displayed on URL Inspection panel of Google Search Console. Now as of today 22 Dec, 2020, the URL Inspection feature is working fine. So, Request Indexing tool is Back in Google Search Console. Is it working fine or Google has just placed a dummy for showing indexing tool is working. I am saying this because I submitted many URLs for indexing but still after 4 - 5 hours none are showing updated content or new URLs in Google results. People will say that Google have the right to index a page or not based upon its liking but earlier it used to index a page withing 5 mins of submitting for index. Have to wait and watch if it is still as effective as it was or not.

By default, auto play for videos is enabled on both the mobile and desktop version of Facebook. Many users never mind to disable this feature. Imagine what will Facebook earns when they will start rolling out video ads for all user generated videos. The ad will run after around 20 seconds of your video watching and deliver 5-15 second mid-roll video ads. Over the period of time I got to see Facebook Pop-Up videos when I scroll the news feed on desktop. This popup video is one step towards making more money through Facebook in videos ads. If you scroll while watching the video, the ad will not be visible to you. So, to make ads visible the video will pop-out from your news feed and will be running and visible throughout your scrolling. Yesterday, while watching a video about edible water orbs shared
