Google's interactive map spurs users to achieve New Year resolutions
With the New Year come New Year's resolutions. Folks at Google are committed to ensure that you let the world know what those resolutions are. And that is why the search giant is motivating people all over the world to achieve their resolutions with an interactive New Year's resolution map on its 2012 Zeitgeist website.

The world map shows coloured dots representing people's resolutions ranging from Love, Health, Career, Finance,  Family, Education, Do Good and Other. All these categories are listed in a key on the right. Users can also zoom into the map to see better.

Users can access the blue dome at the bottom that guides you to post your resolution in your native language. So far some of the resolutions read as "Learn Mandarin", "Quit Smoking", Shop less, save more" and "Try to cook a recipe from every country in the world".

The 2012 Zeitgeist website also has a 2min 45 sec YouTube video called Zeigeist 2012: Year in Review that looks back at all the important events of past year across various genres like politics, sports, entertainment, science and even remembering those for whom 2012 was the last. Whether it was about firsts, relief campaigns or change, the video has its all.



Liz Wessel, Associate Product Marketing Manager mentions in a blog post, "Research shows that you're more likely to achieve your resolutions if you write them down and have support."

Apart from the interactive map, she also suggests "best tips and tricks across Google" to help users keep their resolutions this 2013. Some of these include Diet Diary, BBC's Good Food, Google Finance, E*Trade and Google Flight Search. The blog also directs users to SELF Magazine's Google+ page with tips from experts, live via Google+ hangouts, for 13 more resolutions starting on January 13.

The post also contains a YouTube video titled Google Play: New Me, highlighting the health aspect of life and also hinting at various apps that might help users achieve their 'health-based' resolutions for the year.

In case you're looking to achieve your New Year's resolutions this year, take a look at some of the apps that we've put together to help you along the way.
