Now Google AdSense introduced Western Union funds transfer as a NEW payment method for Indonesia. It is very easy and quick but few things you have to remember that

a) Western Union payments follow normal Google AdSense payment schedule and will be available for pickup next day.
b) This payment option is available for Individuals not for businesses
c) Should present government ID proof that match the AdSense payee name.
d) Funds must be picked up within 35 days of issue and will be made in US dollars.

Follow the below instructions:

1) Sign in to your account at www.google.com/adsense.
2) Visit the My Account tab.
3) Click the ‘edit’ link adjacent to the ‘Payment Details’ header.
4) Select the Western Union Quick Cash radio button.
5) Click ‘Continue’.
6) Click ‘Save Changes’ to save your payment type.

I hope soon or later we also enjoy using this new payment option in India 😉

Yesterday, Google has released a set of themes for Gmail users.

“Gmail fans have been building unofficial extensions to spice up their inboxes for a while, but up ’til now themes haven’t been an integral part of Gmail,” said Gmail engineer Annie Chen in a blog post. “We wanted to go beyond simple color customization, so out of the 30 odd themes we’re launching today, there’s a shiny theme with chrome styling, another one that turns your in-box into a retro notepad, nature themes that change scenery over time, weather driven themes that can rain on your mailbox, and fun characters to keep you in good company.”

For those of you that are lucky enough to be a part of the initial roll out you can customize your inbox by going to the Themes tab under Settings. Google has said they’ll be rolling out themes to everyone over the next couple of days, so if like me you don’t see them yet, check back soon.

Just last month, Google launched seven features for Gmail: Gmail Gadgets, emoticons for messages, Gmail for mobile version 2.0, Canned Responses, contact manager improvements, advanced IMAP controls, and Mail Goggles.

Last night, Google has live Google Chrome open source browser for public. The download of Google Chrome was very quick and easy. During installation it only offered to import bookmarks.

Frankly, Google Chrome load very quickly as compare to Firefox and Internet Explorer. The interface look is very clean and simplified and no status bar. It automatically generated page with tumbnails of your most frequently visited sites. But I’m also going to miss my Firefox extensions.

In above video Sergey Brin put his views on why Google’s launching a browser.

Tamar informed that Google has confirmed that they are testing to displays different ad placements under the search results.
