Precisely seven per cent keyword rich
An otherwise quiet Sunday, then Google slides the blog post equivalent of a B52 laden with armed nuclear warheads out of the hanger.
The post on its official blog, penned by their senior VP of Corporate Development, shows a forthright side to The Big G that we, the average consumers, never get to see. It asks [...]
Just stumbled upon a Firefox extension from the people at Mahalo.
Not Earth-shaking, I know, but quietly cool. Mahalo, in case you’ve been holidaying on Mars for the last six months, in the new search engine from Jason Calacanis, the entrepreneur who brought you such legendary web properties as WeblogsInc (the power behind Engadget and Autoblog).
Just about everyone working on the web uses Google Trends at one time or another, if only to give that quick gauge on which term would prove more popular (Hilary or Barack?).
But now there’s Google Checkout Trends, the search equivalent of every retailer opening their ledgers to the world’s prying eyes. Well, almost.
Wikia Search went live today.
So what? So it’s the brainchild of one Jimmy Whales, the clever chap who brought you Wikipedia. So there’s just a remote chance that it may fly.
The search results are, so far, pretty damn poor, and many of the preferences do not work. But as the world gets stuck in and [...]
Ex-IBM boss Irving Wladawsky-Berger reckons an IT-based knowledge economy will be the most significant trend of 2008, grabbing the cool baton from social networking.
I confess to struggling with the concept at first. IWB points to a recent Business Week piece on ‘cloud computing’ – basically, server networks that can number in the hundreds of thousands [...]
So the search giant is going to unveil its Facebook rival on November 5 (no source here… just a hail of blogosphere noise).I’m wondering what tricks Google has up its sleeve to bring down the social giant. In case they’re still wondering, and happen to be reading this, here are a few ideas:
Bring every social [...]
So today, we have a new Live.com, with Microsoft attempting to steal some Google turf by primarily focusing on relevancy of search returns.
Sensible enough: apparently, many billions of hours of analysis by people with large foreheads revealed that most people want to find things.
Being a person, I thought I’d give it a totally unreasonable [...]
Put a tick in your diary for November 5 – TechCrunch claims to have a leak from a secret squirrel briefing held deep within Google, aimed at addressing the “Facebook issue”.
The meeting was so secret that all attendees had to sign confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements strictly forbidding them from discussing what was shown to them [...]
So here it is: the final link in the Google Office chain. Presently aims at creating fairly slick presentations, and goes live today within Google Docs. I’ve yet to cook a full presentation using the newcomer, but everything seems to be there – including a whole bunch of themes that, while not fit to lick [...]
Silly things please simple minds. I open my browser this evening for my usual trawl through 1001 news stories using Google Reader, and… there’s a search box.
OK, OK, it’s hardly earth-shattering. But I’m a Reader addict, and could never understand why the world’s search giant didn’t have search enabled on its popular newsreader. Daft. Well, [...]
