Now not only you can check your Google web search rankings in any country, but you can also check your rankings for image search, news search, video search and group search, and what not, on any Google data center. If you want to plug in a query URL at Google.com, here's a new tool at http://oy-oy.eu/google/trydc/dc.aspx, all you have to do click submit once you have specified a Google data center.

There is a discussion on at Cre8asite Forum: “You can specify any C-Class datacenter (or all of them) and run a Google-query of your choice on it. It sends it through my server (so you'll have Swiss geotargeting) directly to that datacenter and returns the results just slightly adjusted (so that the links work and the images are displayed, optionally with the javascript removed). It won't give you any "secret information", but if you stumble upon a query that brings unexpected results, you can work out which data center it is and let other people use that datacenter directly (this is especially the case with image-search, though I have seen differences in video, news, froogle and even groups as well).”
