It's no secret that Google has been indexing video content from other video hosting sites for quite a while now, rendering unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, with YouTube playing the part of Caesar for this movie. Most movies came from larger video sites, such as Metacafe or Crackle, and were sometim... |

You'll understand the title in just a moment, when I'll explain the experiment that the Google Custom Search team has conducted, the point they wanted to prove and the means that they chose for the job. First of all, let's get things straight from the beginning: it is about ads, more specifically the a... |

The News from Google are quite interesting to follow. Not because of the information provided, which is top notch and I just had to mention it, but because of the constant updates that are being made by the dev team in order to optimize the algorithm, the search modality, the updating of the sources and so on and so... |

I'm guessing it's egocentrism we must be talking about, because I sincerely doubt that there's somebody googling himself for the latest news about himself. In my view of the world, there shouldn't be an article on that written beforehand in order for the person in question to find stuff out from i... |

Alexandre Dumas' Three Musketeers' catchphrase is, I think, the one that best describes where Google is going to. The Mountain View based company is trying to unite its users under one single profile that will link from there to all the services it graces us with. This is coming in, one step at a time, and... |

Mind you that Google's top "selling" product is still its search engine and that is its main revenue source is its ad selling, so it should be continuously working to improve it, in order to keep its users satisfied and encourage further usage. It sounds like a lot of demagogy, I know, but so do the people over ... |

Papa Google, in its unlimited wisdom, thought that it might push more ads in the same window and if it can't reduce the font with which they are written, it could add a scrolling function to the whole deal and that would mean a "problem solved" stamp on it. To be honest, I'm not big on clicking the ads, per... |
