Livestream of the Hajj from Mecca, Live-cooking Hangouts with celebrity
chefs and trending searches among services offered to users across the globe
Google announced today it is launching a dedicated
hub for the Holy month of Ramadan. The hub, www.google.com/ramadan will feature a
wide variety of services to Muslims all around the globe to celebrate the Holy
month of Ramadan.
The new page for Ramadan 2013 will feature
suggestions on how to catch up with friends and family no matter where you are,
the ability to watch select videos off of YouTube, and the chance to drop in to
live cook-along Hangouts with celebrity chefs from around the world, and even
to find the best commute routes home at the end of the day on your way back
from work.
In addition to Hangouts, the hub will also enable users to
experience the world’s largest pilgrimage to perform the ritual of Umrah by tuning in to the live stream from Mecca, Saudi
Arabia on the Saudi Ministry of Culture and Information's YouTube
channel, available directly on the hub.
Another feature provided by the dedicated Ramadan hub is the
“Trending searches” which will offer insights as to the search habits of users
in countries across MENA and South East Asia. These trending searches will
showcase the topics of interest across various categories.
Users will also be able to see how people around the world are
celebrating Ramadan. Users can search for the hashtag #breakingfast / إفطار#
on Google+ to see the latest stream of posts and photos. Users can also send
through your own special moments by simply sharing their favorite photo or post
on Google+ and tagging their post with #breakingfast / إفطار#.
