Some cool features of google mini, this is what google says about their product,

Google search quality
We’ve taken Google web search and optimized it for use on public websites and intranets to deliver relevant search results at record speed.
Familiarity breeds contentment
By providing the same familiar look and feel as Google.com, the Google Mini offers a search solution that your users will actually use. You can weave Google into your site design either by giving the Google Mini interface a “mini” make-over using a built-in wizard interface, or by doing a full facelift via the Mini’s XML feed. Making users smarter
The Google Mini’s productivity-enhancing extras include a self-learning spell checker, the ability to view documents in HTML (instead of having to download plug-ins) and accessing cached versions of documents — even the ones that are offline.

Google sandboxed sites seem to be released in this datacenter http://66.102.7.99

Everyone must have heard of the dreaded google sandbox algorithm where a new site or a site which gains more backlinks in a short period of time gets into sandbox where it fails to rank for competitive terms,

it seems google has finally clicked the magic switch in these datacenters

Cindy McCaffrey plans to leave google marketing Job,

It seems cindy mccaffery has planned to leave google, She has been a core person in google’s marketing department and it is a big lose for google,

Silicon beat says, www.siliconbeat.com/entries/2004/12/19/mccaffrey_leaving_google.html

Google’s vice president of corporate marketing, is leaving the technology

company, the first top executive to depart after the IPO. McCaffrey has been

chugging away at the P.R. business for 20 years, including gigs at Apple

Computer, E*TRADE and the 3DO Company. And that’s after starting a career as a

journalist. She’s been at Google more than five years, which means that,

post-IPO, she can comfortably go off and do nothing. And that’s apparently what

she intends to do for now

Does google lag / sandbox algorithm really exist or it is just a type of spam filter and the new site penalty is just a myth?/?
