Google currency conversion

If it’s something that you can query through a text box, Google seems to be there. Now it’s a currency converter. I’ve always used the excellent xe.com for conversions, but Google has made it easier. It works like the basic calculator, and its biggest strength is the ability to understand natural language queries. One need not even know the currency of the country before trying to get a conversion. For example the query “uae money in indian money” works just fine.

  • This works. Maybe it's still learning...

    I've set it so that an e-mail id is required to prevent/reduce comment spam. I'm not sure if it's cookie based, but once you enter it, you should never be asked again, unless you keep deleting your cookies.

    P.S the most frickin irritating thing abt Wordpress is you are required to specify email address...kinda shitty, don't you think?
