Live Search gains in simplicity over Google Search
2008-05-07 21:39:16
The Live Search design team has been playing around with a new interface for both the main Live Search page and the Live Search results page, and I must say that they're not doing a bad job. While Google always primed over MSN (now Live) and Yahoo in terms of a simple interface, I must say that Live Search is better - at least from this point of view. See below a comparison between the main... Read full posts by clicking on the title link or visiting http://goodle.crmreports.com ...

2008-05-02 23:38:56
Google announced several updates these days for iPhone users (oh, and iPod Touch), and if you're thinking why the answer is simple: next search engine battle field.

How to report a Google Adsense violation
2008-04-19 22:01:18
I've seen on a website a Google Adsense ad that was masked by a tricky image letting you think you were going to play a video - I could tell it was an Adsense ad because when I hovered over it I could see the URL it was going to open (starting with pagead2.googlesyndication.com).

Live Search News gets updated
2008-04-18 22:37:16
See, Microsoft's Live Search team is (somehow) productive too. They recently announced several improvements for the Live News Search service (or Live Search News?).

Is YouTube planning photo sharing?
2008-04-16 20:38:51
Maybe the title is a little speculative, but browsing around YouTube I've ended on what I think it is a database error that returned the following image: The above one is a screenshot in case they take it down, the original image right now is here: http://www.youtube.com/img/cache_error.jpg It seems to be a scheme of how their different services interact with each other and the way the...

Search YouTube, as fast as you can type
2008-04-16 18:41:21
YouTube has its own search system but it takes a while for it to display the results given that it has to load all those additional images and display the results in a specific view. It's not abnormal to take a little longer to show the video search results, if you take into account that for each video loads ratings, views, duration, when it was loaded and so on. However, someone used the YouTube... Read full posts by clicking on the title link or visiting http://goodle.crmreports.com ...

As the post on the Google Webmaster blog says, the Googlebot knows now how to crawl links that are inside HTML forms too.

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.
