 The American Dialect Society (ADS) has chosen "google" - the verb - as its top word of this decade and "tweet" - a short message sent via the Twitter.com service or the act of sending such a message - as its top word of the year 2009. Grant Barrett, chairman of the New Words Committee of ADS stated that both words are, in the end, products of the Information Age, where every person has the ability to satisfy inquisitiveness and to broadcast to a select following, both through the Internet.He also said that he had assumed the word blog would take the position in the word of the decade category, but its also true that more people google than blog. Google only became a verb after users of the search engine began to use it to mean search. "Google" as a verb was coined and included in the Meriam-Webster Dictionary as well as the Oxford English Dictionary in 2006. The American Dialect Society(ADS) is a collection of scholars dedicated to the study of the English language and other languages and dialects in North America. They choose the Word of Year by conducting a voting session. Labels: ADS, google, Top Words, Twitter

Firefox has long been greater to Google Chrome,for most part because of Firefox add-ons. Now since the Google Chrome Extensions are available here at https://chrome.google.com/extensions, many people might prefer to switch over to Google.  Although there are just around 500 Google extensions, in comparison to thousands of add-ons for Firefox, several best and most constructive Firefox add-ons are already available as Google extensions, or their capabilities are duplicated by a Chrome extension. For those interested mainly in speed, the additions of extensions to Chrome are reason enough to make the change from Firefox. For many the ultimate turning point would be extensions available for Chrome, while many are sure to stick to Firefox till they find each and every of their extensions available for Chrome.

 Microsoft may be the only company with the means to challenge Google's Internet search dominance head on, but a number of firms are trying to compete with Google with services that tackle aspects of search that is not covered by Google's index of Web pages. Aardvark - a firm whose cofounders also include two ex-Googlers - is tackling something that it calls "social search." This is how aardvark functions.Instead of looking at Web pages to search answers to obtain queries, Aardvark's service tracks a person's network of social contacts. Ask Aardvark for any kind of question ranging from restaurant recommendations to home enhancement tips, and the service will pass on the question to Facebook and Twitter friends who have recognized themselves as "experts" on a variety of topics. The aardvark service, which has obtained praise from the New York Times' David Pogue and other tech bloggers, was started as a beta version earlier this year but accessing Aardvark required utilizing instant messaging software or an iPhone app. Recently, the company put the search box directly on a website - vark.com - enabling it to become more reachable for a wide range of people. Similar to the so-called real time search engines popularized by Twitter, Collecta and OneRiot, though presently Aardvark depicts a small segment ,it might be quite dangerous for Google in future . Most of the content that transmits through these new types of search services is not essentially reachable by Google's search engine.Google is making its efforts to tackle the situation by licensing the Twitter data feed. As more innovative forms of search evolve,Google will find itself having more such talks. Labels: aardvark, google, msn, search engine, yahoo

Microsoft 's share of the U.S. search market increased slightly in July, at the same time as Google and Yahoo faced slight declines.Among the 13.6 billion U.S. searches which was conducted in July,nearly 64.7% searches were performed through Google which is a.3 percent reduction from June,according to the conclusions drawn from Comscore.Similar to Google,Yahoo too served around 19.3% ,which also reveals a .3 percent decline from June.On the other hand , Microsoft Bing's search share improved by half of a percentage point in July.Its increase is one of the main factors for most of what Google and Yahoo have lost. Microsoft sites accounted for around 8.9% of U.S. searches last month. ComScore's search results however does'nt take account of searches associated to mapping, local directory, and user-generated video sites. Labels: google, microsoft, yahoo

 The Search engine giant Google has released the developer version of its new upgraded version,which is coded as Caffeine-an interesting name,though ! Most people would have the same opinion that a little jerk of caffeine is just what the body requires in order to kick into high gear and begin moving more rapidly in the morning. It appears that, caffeine can have the same consequence on Google Incorporations search engine. Google themselves have stated this improvement as the "next-generation architecture".The internet giant promises that "Caffeine" will definitely improve on categories such as speed, size, accuracy as well as comprehensiveness of Google search. When it comes to the above factors,this is what the net users look for : Speed: How rapidly can the fresh search engine load results? Accuracy: Which set of results matches the search term? Temporal Relevancy: Is the version of search engine good at capturing breaking news? Index Size: Is it really all-inclusive than the previous version of Google? Once Microsoft launched Bing ,the whole world was wondering how good this will be and if it can contend against Googles search technology. Bing proved that it is a very good search engine, and after that everybody was wondering what will Google do in order to overpower Microsoft's new search engine.Probably caffeine is the answer for the doubt raised in people's minds. Tests so far have revealed that the latest version of Google is twice faster than the the previous Google and it also displays higher search results (depending on queries).At the moment it looks like Caffeine is superior than the old Google, but we need to wait for it to be released. The development version is available at www2.sandbox.google.com Labels: google, Google Caffeine, search engine

Google has released its second version of Chrome internet browser.The first version of Google Chrome was released nearly 8 months back.Google has succeeded with bringing forth the second version by collecting immense feedback from the user and making further improvements.It has been claimed that around 300 bugs have been fixed by Google before the release of this latest version. One of the major areas which Google has focused on is speed of the browser. Google claims that a page-loading increase of 30 percent is what Google claims it has included in the latest browser update, version 2.0.172.28.Though Google has improved in the speed factor,it still faces a tough competition from Mozilla which has drawn the support of communities due to its immense add-on capabilities.

Google has launched the new iGoogle gadget known as "What's Popular".This gadget displays the most popular content from the web.This gadget bears a resemblance to Digg, Reddit or Yahoo Buzz,as one is able to vote the web pages. In other words ,it is possible to rate items that you like or dislike by just clicking the ratings buttons displayed close to each item. Later if you change your mind, then the ratings can be changed anytime. The What's Popular gadget ultimately searches what users liked or disliked in order to improve its ranking of interesting items.Also ,it is possible to add content that the users find interesting. What's Popular utilizes algorithms in order to search interesting content from a combination of submissions and trends in aggregated user activity from Google services such as YouTube and Google Reader.Three categories such as stories, images and videos are available and usually all the pages are sorted according to the algorithm.

At times, when we searched for our name in Google, we might have been dissatisfied with the results. We usually see that other people who share a similar name dominating the results.Google's new "Profile results" that was being launched recently provide a solution for this. Google has integrated Google Profiles into their main US name search results.As an example if your searching for a name "Sandra Jose" in Google,at the end of the results ,you will find a picture of Sandra ,brief description as well as links to Google profiles,MySpace,Facebook etc. Upto 4 profiles will be displayed at the end of the page.This kind of Google cross-integration helps to make Google Profiles an extremely competitive product all of a sudden. In this way,we find that Google Profiles are being extended beyond Google's own services.They are being promoted as a method for people to convey to the world who they are and to some degree, being offered as a way for people to claim their identity in Google's main search results.To start off ,create a profile in Google in www.google.com/profiles and follow the guidelines.

Matt Cutts, head of Google's Webspam team has delivered an explanation regarding the Webmaster guidelines provide by Google.This was one of the suggestions provided by the Search Engine Giant.."Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number." Here are some reasons Matt Cutts cited why it is better to maintain the number of links less than 100.He went on to explain that previously Google indexed just around 100 kilobytes of a page.In case the page exceeds 100 links, it usually exceeds 100kb and the remaining links will be completely ignored or truncated by Google.Suppose, there are more than 100 links on any page ,people who reach the page might be completely overwhelmed and may be unable to find what they were looking for and might decide to leave the page.Google classifies this as a "bad user experience". However, in some situations, where a large resource library is provided ,it is absolutely necessary to maintain a page with more than 100 links.In these cases Google won't consider these pages as spam,instead Google will either choose to exclude these links from being indexed or might tag them as nofollow.

The top 3 search engines Google,Yahoo and Microsoft have come together in order to launch a new "canonical" link tag which will handle the problem of duplicate content.This tag assists webmasters in order to determine which URL they require the search engines to concentrate on when the website contains a lot of vastly similar or duplicate contents which is pointed to by many URLs. Joachim Kupke, senior software engineer, and Maile Ohye, developer programs tech lead at Google have mentioned that this tag provides an opportunity to have greater control over the URL's which are returned in search results,if your site has identical contents,corresponding to different URL's Assume the following 2 pages contain similar contents http://www.canonicaldemo.com/product.php?items=allequipments http://www.canonicaldemo.com/product.php?items=equipments Suppose we need the search engine to display this page in the results page http://www.canonicaldemo.com/product.php?items=equipments, then the canonical tag has to be used in the following manner <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.canonicaldemo.com product.php?items=equipments"/> Labels: canonical element, canonical tag, google, link tag, microsoft, seo news, yahoo

Google Inc with its mobile tracker tool aids in keeping track of the location of people.This is an upgrade to the already existing Google's Mobile Maps.This tool assists people with mobile phones and other wireless devices to inform their friends about their present locations.The user has the choice to decide who can keep track of their location. One of the major drawbacks of this feature is the question of privacy concerns.But in order to resolve this issue, Google provides a facility by which the user needs to turn on or off the tracking software manually.In addition,Google assures that all of the information about the users locations would be retained by them.Only the last information regarding the person's location would be stored by Google's tracking service. A user's location is displayed by means of a picture appearing on Google Maps.The information about the location is fetched with the help of cell phone towers,GPS (Global positioning system) as well as Wi-Fi Connections.

Google is always setting out to include new stuff into their already existing huge features.In addition the latest information is that they now provide an opportunity for accessing gmail while offline. In order to make use of this feature,we need to install Google Gears .Google gears is an open source software which enables storing data locally in a database.Also it enables web applications to communicate with desktop.Gears will download emails onto your desktop, and it will accumulate any actions that need web access to perform them next time you are connected to the net. Once Google Gears is installed, we can see an Offline option under the Lab tab in Gmail's settings. Choose Enable next to Offline gmail. Click the option "Save Changes". Once the browser is reloaded, an 'Offline 0.1' link appears in the top-right corner of the main Gmail window where you will be asked to click this link to begin the installation.

Microsoft and Google have lot in common than the dominance of their respective markets. Both have utilized their cash flows to pursue many side projects in order to move into wider segments.And neither of them have had much success.The recession has had a severe impact on their efforts. Google,just cancelled its print advertisement ambitions,and Microsoft have managed to sell its long-held stake in the cable operator Comcast. Microsoft's main expertise still in software - its operating system and other programs. These hold around 82 percent of its revenue and nearly all of its operating income. The company has used a lot of those profits to diversify into products like video games and online search,though they haven't obtained much profit from these areas. Microsoft's Xbox game console just had had its first profit last year after being for nearly 7 years on the market.Microsoft's online search effort has also not been very successful. Its MSN portal has a dismal 8.5 percent share of American search market, and the unit which holds it lost around $480 million last quarter. Google makes virtually all its revenue from advertising related to Internet searches. Still, that has not stopped it from pouring money - and employee time - into online video, cloud computing and lobbying for renewable energy projects. Analysts say the video site Youtube remains barely profitable.The same goes for Google's free online software initiative, in which it has invested a huge amount.

Google still needs to stop the increasing number of spammers from abusing Google Docs, its Web-based collaboration and spreadsheet application,according to junk mail watchdog Spamhaus.Lately, Google changed the position from fourth to third in a list of spammy ISPs (Internet service providers) and other Web services providers updated daily by Spamhaus. Similar to Microsoft and Yahoo,Google's free e-mail accounts are often utilized to send spam.Antispam filtering software is unlikely to block messages coming from the domains of those companies due to their wide use, although spam can be stopped through more sophisticated analysis of an e-mail. But the greatest problem is how spammers are manipulating Google Docs. The application has a feature where users are able to share a document which is assigned a URL (uniform resource locator).If opened, those documents contain a "redirect" command that pushes them to spammer Web sites, which often sell pharmaceuticals.Spamhaus has had problems in obtaining complete attention from Google about the problem.That's in contrast to Microsoft, which took methods recently to stop spammers from putting redirects on free Web pages and sending out the links as spam.

Google and MySpace are combining to combat FaceBook Connect.This is made possible by combining MySpace ID with Google Friend Connect.Though MySpaceId is still in development,Google Friend Connect has been released. With Google and FaceBook releasing their web services and data portability being the trend on the web,this was a much predictable move.Also with Myspace's huge collection of user base and Google's popularity and excellent services,this combination turns out to be interesting. My Space has been facing heavy competition from FaceBook for a long duration.The best option they had was to combine with Google and to compete with FaceBook.We need to wait and see to view the outcome of this deal.

Microsoft Corp is taking up a new management team to take control of Yahoo Inc.'s Internet search business and sign a partnership deal following its failed takeover attempt. Microsoft will put up $5 billion to back Jonathan Miller, the former chief executive officer of AOL, and Ross Levinsohn, a former president of Fox Interactive Media. Microsoft is seeking ways to revive its online advertising business as the global recession stifles spending and Google Inc. wins more search users. For Sunnyvale, California-based Yahoo, which spurned Microsoft's bids of as much as $47.5 billion this year, a deal may help shore up revenue after losing out on a partnership with Google. The terms would give Microsoft a 10-year operating agreement to manage Yahoo's search business, plus a two-year option to buy it for $20 billion. Senior directors of the companies have agreed to the outline of the deal, the newspaper said, without citing anyone. However Levinsohn denied the report, according to a blog post by the Wall Street Journal's All Things Digital. Source:Google News Labels: google, microsoft, seo news, yahoo

Video and Voice Chat has been added to Google,creating a major update for Gmail.In order to make this functionality work, we need to install a small browser plugin,available at the location http://mail.google.com/videochat .This update can function on all browsers and will work on PC's with Windows XP or Vista, including Macs with OS X 10.4 or later. We need to intially enable this new functionality from the 'Options' menu which is at the bottom of a Gmail chat window.Then we need to select the contact you want to speak with and click on 'Video & more' located in the lower-left part of the chat window.From here on,you can then start a voice or video chat. Point to note that Google's Gmail desktop chat program has not yet incorporated any video functionality yet, although voice chat is available for Google Talk long time ago.However Google has become a major competitor for skype for which video chat has been one of the major functionalities.

Microsoft Corporation Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer said that his company has no plans to make another bid to buyout yahoo. "We made an offer, we made another offer, and it was clear that Yahoo didn't want to sell the business to us and we moved on .We are not interested in going back and re-looking at an acquisition. I don't know why they would be either, frankly. They turned us down at 33 dollars a share, said Ballmer as published in a blog. On the contrary,Yahoo Chief Executive, Jerry Yang said that Yahoo would welcome Microsoft if it was ever willing to offer another bid with the former.Yahoo made these remarks after Google stayed out of the ad deal with Yahoo after the Justice Department notified the two companies of an antitrust suit.

After Microsoft opted for a bid for Yahoo in February, Google and Yahoo began several conversations to see if Google could help Yahoo to remain independent. Thus came the advertising agreement which the two companies signed in June. This deal was supposed to deliver Yahoo $250 million to $450 million in additional operating cash flow in the first year. However,Google chose to abandon this controversial deal after the Justice Department notified the companies that it would file an antitrust suit to block it. Google's Chief Executive Eric Shmidt said in an interview which was posted in a blog,"We canceled the deal with about one hour to go before a lawsuit was going to be filed against our deal. We concluded after a lot of soul-searching that it was not in our best interest to go through a lengthy and costly trial which we believe we ultimately would have won." On the contrary,Yahoo said it would have preferred to defend the deal in court. "Yahoo strongly believes we would have prevailed in court if the Department of Justice had filed a lawsuit, but unlike Google, we were prepared to defend our agreement,"said Tracy Schmaler, a Yahoo spokeswoman in a blog.Yahoo's Chief Executive Jerry Yang said that he was upset that Google had chosen to walk away.
