8 New Secrets from a Google Ninja

Some of my favorite things Google-related have nothing to do with having a Google account. Some call these the lesser-known tools of Google, but I call them Google’s secrets. These are just the tip of Google’s other projects. Check out Fennovation.org or the Secrets of a Google Ninja for more fun!

Enjoy!

Google’s Secrets

8. Sound Search for Google Play

Sound Search for Google Play - simply click on the app, hold up your phone to music and it will find the song on Google Play. I use this one all the time to find songs on the radio that I like!
