If the new Google interface design (http://www.flickr.com/photos/searchengineland/4117327765/) is any indication, it appears that Google might actually be feeling a little heat, or at least some...

Thanks minigweek. Glad you liked the post and appreciate you taking the time to comment.

quicktpgo: That is odd behavior. I've never heard of that happening with a Gmail account, but I don't doubt that it does. Wonder if there is a way to reset the account or export your Gmail from one...

A week ago today, the unthinkable happened. That's right, Gmail went down...for *two* hours. You would have thought, judging from the amount of chatter on Twitter that we were experiencing an epic...

Yesterday was the major league baseball trade deadline and lots of teams made big deals (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4369463) and took huge gambles for short-term gain, while possibly...

Speaking about consumer search last week (http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2009/06/18/ballmer-we-should-have-built-search-sooner/), Steve Ballmer said he now regrets that Microsoft quote "didn't start...

In a wide ranging interview (http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/12/10/marissa-mayer-at-le-web-the-almost-complete-interview/) with Tech Crunch's Michael Arrington on Wednesday at Le Web...

Oops. That's a bad mistake. Thanks for pointing that out.

I agree that Google understands open web search better than anyone out there.

Hi Tracyanne:

Good point. They have either bought or copied others' ideas. It seems that these days their own lack of innovation has finally caught with them and they are paying the price. And ...

According to a recent TechCrunch article (http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/11/23/microsoft-to-rebrand-search-will-it-be-kumo/), Microsoft is planning to rename its Live Search product, Kumar, which...

There you go. Introduced to a pain reliever on DaniWeb. :-)

It's been about a week now since the now infamous Motrin ad hit the air waves. It caused a social media firestorm the likes of which the internet might never have seen and that's saying something. If...

Google announced on Friday that it was adding on-demand indexing to its hosted Google Site Search product, giving customers the ability to instantly re-index a site after adding new content.

Chris Sherman from SearchWise (http://www.searchwise.net/news.htm) suggests taking a look at EveryZing (http://www.everyzing.com/) for a company doing some very interesting work in the video search...

Absolutely, it's huge and it's been a huge gap on the internet to date. Lots of video, but no efficient *mainstream* way to search inside the video to get to the bits you really need or want to see. ...

Google quietly introduced an audio search tool called GAudi (http://labs.google.com/gaudi) this week in Google Labs (http://labs.google.com/). For now, Google is using to the tool for experimentation...

I’ve been highly critical of many of Microsoft’s moves lately, mostly because they have felt like the awkward ramblings of a company one step behind the curve, but the other day Microsoft made, what...

Thanks for the link. Very interesting.

I actually think that's an entirely plausible scenario, but it's also possible it was rejected and leaked anyway. My feeling is that you can never underestimate the stupidity of a corporation. :)

Quick correction: The December 2007 concert was Led Zeppelin's. Fixing that now.

Yesterday a (slightly) risqué ad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zFiu3aqfmg) for JC Penney made the rounds on the internet. It depicted two teens getting ready for a date by timing how fast they...

Google released a shiny new version of its hosted enterprise search product today that includes new custom indexing and a synonym dictionary. While they were at it, Google changed the name of the...

Jennifer:
You are right of course, and David never suggested the press release was dead. Those words were mine. I was admittedly engaging in a bit of hyperbole as an attention-getting device, but I...

Is the press release dead? Earlier this month, Esther Schindler wrote in her You’re the Boss blog (http://tinyurl.com/6e5rmu)that “PR is broken. Social media might, might glue some of the parts back...
