Google Shopping arrives in Australia

It’s fair to say a growing number of Australians are turning to the web to shop. That’s why we’re delighted to announce that Google Shopping is now available in Australia.



Google Shopping is a product search engine that helps people discover product information online, compare prices and find a retailer from whom they can make a purchase.



Let’s say I was looking to buy a digital camera for my upcoming trip to Tasmania. I enter my search into google.com.au, as usual, and click the ‘Shopping’ tab on the left hand side, so I get a full page of product results relevant to my query.

I’d like to find a camera for under $250, so I select the price range from the filters on the left hand side so that I only see results that meet these criteria. Results are ranked according to relevance.

To help me make a decision, Google also shows product reviews so I can see what other people thought of each camera before clicking through to a store to buy my chosen model.

To try out Google Shopping for yourself, visit google.com.au/shopping



If you’re a retailer, large or small, wishing to reach more customers in Australia, Google Shopping can make it easy for Web users to discover your products and bring traffic and sales to your site. Retailers can sign up to Google Shopping for free by submitting a catalogue of their products to the new Google Merchant Center, also launching today. To learn more, check out the this ‘Getting Started’ guide.



In conjunction with Google Shopping, retailers that choose to advertise their products can now do so through AdWords Product Extensions.

Docs and Android come together in Sydney

For the past couple of years, a team of engineers in Sydney has been improving and adding new features to Google Docs. Recently, our team started working to enhance the mobile Docs experience, starting with today’s launch of Google Docs for Android. Together with the design team in Tokyo, we crafted a simple user experience to deliver the best of Google Docs to your phone.



This new app will give you another way to collaborate on documents with your friends or colleagues while you're on the go. You can quickly find, create, edit and share documents, and you can open Docs from Gmail without having to enter your login credentials each time.

We were able to work with other members of the local Google Docs team in Sydney to pack extra features into the Android application too. The engineers here were instrumental in creating Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in Google Docs, which converts uploaded images to text. They helped us integrate that functionality into the Android app so that you can take a photo with your phone's camera, then extract the text from that into a new document. This is useful for things like collecting info from a poster or flyer, or making your own changes to a recipe your friend gave you.







The app is currently available in English and works on Android 2.1+ phones. The Sydney team is also working on more features for Google Docs that we can’t wait to share with you.



Cheers!
