Google jobs vs Microsoft jobs vs Yahoo jobs
2008-04-12 19:46:55
Everyone seems to think Google's the best place on Earth to work at, but what do the other leaders (in the search engine industry), Microsoft and Yahoo (soon might be only Microsoft), have to offer? A job is not all about the payment, but this has an important role in deciding the best job to be at. Below is a graph that illustrates what (average) salary a software engineer has at Google,...

Yahoo is searching for help
2008-04-10 19:45:38
Busy day for Yahoo yesterday, after announcing the acquisition of IndexTools they've also issued a press release to say that they're partnering with ... Google. Well, not a partnership in the true meaning of the word actually, as they say it it's a test they're doing by providing Google Adsense ads through their network instead of their own Yahoo Publisher Network ads, under certain terms: The...

Yahoo to battle Google Analytics with IndexTools
2008-04-09 22:30:36
Since Microsoft announced the bid of 40-something billion dollars, Yahoo! had a pale presence in the buying field. However, today they entered the news area by announcing the agreement to purchase the Hungarian company IndexTools, an web analytics business: ...to acquire substantially all of the assets of Tensa Kft., more commonly known as IndexTools, a leading provider of Web analytics software...

Googl, Googel - How search engines handle misspells
2008-04-09 19:30:20
Everybody misspells when searching for information. Either it's because you're in a hurry, or because you really don't remember the exact name, you're contributing to the large number of misspelled word searches that make engineers behind search engines like Google, Yahoo or Live think of better solutions to return the results you intended to find in the first place. I'm starting with the... Read full posts by clicking on the title link or visiting http://goodle.crmreports.com ...

Google Sued over StreetView privacy issue
2008-04-08 22:49:35
An US couple from Pittsburgh (Oakridge Lane) sued Google because of the StreetView service, which made publicly available photos of their house. The Boring family (really, this is their name) want $25,000 for the reduction in the value of their house caused by the publication of the photos (which they specifically acquired in the first place due to the privacy offered), and of course for mental...

Google App Engine aka free web application hosting
2008-04-08 20:04:22
Google is all over the news. Again. This time Google launched Google App Engine (actually a preview release), a solution that offers developers the possibility to run web applications using Google's infrastructure. Right now Google App Engine allows developers to write applications only using Python 2.5 (but this doesn't mean your website templates cannot have HTML with Javascript or use Ajax),...

Google Talk Labs edition launched
2008-04-07 20:58:21
Google Talk Labs edition was released and it seems to offer about the same functionality of the Google Talk gadget, except that it will install and run on your computer, outside the browser. I said almost the same functionality as the Gootle Talk gadget, because the Labs Edition also shows Google Calendar appointments, Orkut scraps, Gmail messages and Google Talk chats. Nice is indeed the fact... Read full posts by clicking on the title link or visiting http://goodle.crmreports.com ...

Google Analytics AIR reporting suite
2008-04-07 19:45:41
Google Analytics Reporting suite is an Adobe AIR application that allows you to access the Google Analytics account from your desktop (and not by visiting the Google Analytics website). Just as there is an Adwords Editor that you can install on your computer and access the Google Adwords account, you can use the Google Analytics Reporting suite to access the Google Analytics account - however,...

Find a hotel using this Google Maps application
2008-04-06 17:55:57
Map Channels Hotels Directory is a clever web application that uses Google Maps to show you the location of specific hotels. Not only this, but it also allows you to do a search for hotels in a specific city (not limited to US), and see if there are any rooms available, see the price per night, see their address as well as detailed information about each hotel, and finally lets you rate or see...

Google mysteries - why the extra space in SERP url?
2008-04-05 20:37:22
When doing a search on Google that returns results with long urls, you'll see an extra space added to the url shown by Google under the description for that listing (the green url). Why that's added there is still a mistery, even since this is been going on since as early as 2003. What's even more of a mistery is that Google doesn't add that space in the SERP url always. I was able to reproduce... Read full posts by clicking on the title link or visiting http://goodle.crmreports.com ...

Google's "Related searches" feature still needs work
2008-04-05 20:19:53
Whenever you do a search for a popular keyword Google will display up to 8 related searches at the end of the search results. For a while now Google is been testing the display of the Related searches at the top of the search results, but only if for the keyword you searched it has more than 8 suggestions (related searches). For instance, searching for the word backup you'll see at the top of the... Read full posts by clicking on the title link or visiting http://goodle.crmreports.com ...

Clinton, Obama or McCain - Let Google decide!
2008-04-04 23:02:04
Google Trends lets you compare up to five terms to see how often they've been searched on Google over a specific period of time. When no special searches are done, Google Trends also shows how frequently the terms appeared in Google News and also splits the popularity of these searches by geographic regions. So what does Google Trends show when it comes to compare the number of searches done for... Read full posts by clicking on the title link or visiting http://goodle.crmreports.com ...

Google Analytics adds new graphs
2008-04-04 19:22:36
By default Google Analytics loads with a daily graph view for the last 30 days, and you can see a day by day evolution of your traffic. Starting today there are two more graph views added, that show the traffic evolution by week and by month. These two new options are useful when reporting data over a longer period of time (say one year), because in the daily view the graph would look very...

Terrain View in Google Maps improved a bit
2008-04-03 19:25:48
While relying solely on Google Maps to plan your next hiking trip is not a good idea, the new feature recently added sure helps a little the adventurers. When using the Terrain view in Google Maps you can now see contour lines, that help better estimating the inclination degree. For instance, where you see two contour lines close together it means that the slope is steep, while two more distant...

Google sells Performics Search Marketing
2008-04-03 17:44:47
Google completed the acquisition of Doubleclick on March 11, 2008, after more than a year since the initial announcement that it acquires DoubleClick for $3.1 billion in cash. Doubleclick is an ad serving company, with solutions for both advertisers (affiliates) and publishers. However, Google announced today that it split Doubleclick Performics into Affiliate Marketing and Search Marketing...

Scrolling Google Ads now show by default
2008-04-02 20:24:54
For a couple of months now Google tested a new feature for the displayed ads, giving the user options to scroll between different sets of text ads (horizontal or vertical), without actually clicking on that ad or being directed to a new page. Now this feature is live and shown for every ad displayed through Google Adsense. They say this will benefit both the publisher and the advertiser, because...

Why does Google Pack contain crippleware?
2008-04-02 19:06:12
Google Pack, a software package launched (guess by who) in January 2006, contains several Google-branded programs (Google Desktop, Picasa, Google Toolbar, Google Photos Screensaver, Google Earth, Google Talk) and third party applications (Mozilla FireFox, Spyware Doctor Starter Edition, Norton Security Scan, Adobe Reader, RealPlayer, Skype, StarOffice with Java). Once installed it allows you to... Read full posts by clicking on the title link or visiting http://goodle.crmreports.com ...

Google HotSpot - find free wifi hotspots
2008-04-02 17:17:05
This was an April Fool's Joke, as Google never released a service as the one mentioned below. Google recently launched Google HotSpot, a new service to search for free wireless access points (wi-fi) from your computer or phone. With an interface similar with Google Maps, not only it lets you find free wi-fi hotspots (and give directions on how to get there), but you can also save their location...

Google's exact phrase search now gives alternatives
2008-04-02 13:01:46
Using quotations when searching for a specific word or phrase in Google will return as results pages that have the exact word/phrase in their content/title. I've seen that recently Google added suggestions when no results are found for exact searches. For instance, searching for "disallow html in blogger contents" will return a No results found error (at least it did before I posted about it),...

Google April Fool's joke in 2008
2008-04-01 22:38:43
[Update] Actually there were multiple Google April Fool's jokes this year: Google AdWords adds FrankRank - Frank the hand turkey will be the official mascot of Google AdWords and also a key part in the new ad ranking technology and algorithm called FrankRank. Google AdSense for conversations - AdSense team is joining Google's list of April fools' jokes by adding a service to let you you display...

Goolag, should I use my powers for good, or evil?
2008-04-01 21:13:45
Goolag Scanner is a tool that lets you audit your website's security through special Google searches. Launched in February 2008 by a group of hackers called Cult of the Dead Cow (cDc - known better for their Back Orifice hacking program), the open source Goolag Scanner uses Google as a vulnerability scanner tool. While the stated purpose of Goolag is to allow webmasters to do an audit for their... Read full posts by clicking on the title link or visiting http://goodle.crmreports.com ...

Virgle, Google's Mars project
2008-04-01 17:37:07
Google just announced project Virgle, a project with the goal of establishing a permanent human settlement on Mars. According to their blog: In the years to come, we'll be sending up a series of spaceships carrying (along with the supplies and tools needed to build the new colony) what eventually will be hundreds of Mars colonists, or Virgle Pioneers -- myself among them Richard Branson is going...

Google Suggest already default in Russia
2008-03-31 21:05:31
It seems that www.google.ru already starts with the Google Suggest feature enabled, so when you start typing suggestions based on popularity are shown. It's a sign that this will become a default feature soon on the main Google.com website. This is already a default feature on Yahoo's search engine, though the system they're using is somehow slower than Google's. Since we're talking about...

Using Google Maps or Google Earth screenshots?
2008-03-31 17:29:57
If you have a blog or website and you included in there a screenshot from Google Maps or Google Earth without asking for permission then you are violating the Google Permissions, that state: You must get written permission from us to reuse any images from these two products [Google Maps and Google Earth], because we do not own the copyright to all of the imagery or information supplied on these...

Gogle is it?
2008-03-31 13:21:13
Seems Google has a small branding error. Whenever you do a search on Google you'll see at the bottom of the page the Goooooooooogle text (A "G" followed by up to 10 "o" and then by "gle"). Each "o" in that text is actually a link to a specific search results page (for instance the second "o" would link to the second page for your particular search) and normally it starts from two "o" (Google)...

From the streets, into the sky with Google
2008-03-31 12:37:10
Google Earth, launched back in 2005 (ages in internet time), went through lots of improvements and exceeded the limits of our world, literally. Using it, not only you can travel virtually to almost any place of this world, but you can also explore the sky. Launched back in 2007, this option allows you to Switch to Sky (from Google Earth's View menu option), and start exploring constellations,...

Why Digg doesn't have a Google section?
2008-03-30 13:42:09
Since forever in the Technology section there's one especially for Microsoft, but none for Google. It would make sense to add one for Google too because stories related to Google products/services are as popular as Microsoft's (even more popular if we would have to consider the number of searches returned by Digg) and they're all Technology related. There are lots of speculations about a... Read full posts by clicking on the title link or visiting http://goodle.crmreports.com ...

Gmail Commercials in Romania and Russia
2008-03-29 21:15:22
Google started promoting the Gmail service in Romania, following the same path they did with the Gmail commercials in Russia about a month ago. While the Gmail ad done for Russia is a bit more professional (in my opinion, maybe because it was created by Saatchi & Saatchi Russia), the one for the Romanian market is a bit childish. Gmail Art (for the Russian market): Gmail Romania: So why does... Read full posts by clicking on the title link or visiting http://goodle.crmreports.com ...

Google Analytics adds custom search
2008-03-28 21:31:37
This gotta' be new since I'm using Analytics daily and haven't noticed it, but on the main Google Analytics page you can now see in the top right corner a Google Custom Search box. It's created using the Custom Search Engine feature, and apparently searches through the google analytics website (help content), through the official Analytics blog and some official Analytics user groups.

Google privacy, ever read it?
2008-03-28 18:02:10
Did you know for instance that if you're under 18 you're not allowed to use any Google services - at least in the US, Google says you're not allowed to use their services if you don't have the legal age to form a binding contract, and in US that legal age is 18. Or that when you use Google Talk they record whom you're talking with, and what files you're exchanging? Well, Google seems to be...
