So, now you can become a celebrity? Not actually, but you can appear on a Google search result within 5 minutes and here’s how! Google has launched ‘People Cards’ which allows others to find you on Google if they search for. This was first launched in India to fulfil the unique information needs.

Note: The ‘People card’ feature
only works on Mobiles!
