Google Will Change Web Marketing, (in 2012). Reports Brian Whalley a search marketer at HubSpot. Google is poised to completely alter how websites market themselves over the next year. While easing users into changing search results pages, Google has also designed a new method for websites to structure data so that its crawler can better pull information. This is a tremendous strategy. Google doesn't need to own all of the information in the world, but does own the methods of accessing that information — as well as the ability to advertise to people who use that access.

Notice of change 1 March 2012 is when the new Privacy Policy and Google Terms of Service will come into effect.

Schema. A site that provides a collection of schemas, i.e., html tags, that webmasters can use to markup their pages in ways recognized by major search providers. Search engines including Bing, Google, Yahoo! and Yandex rely on this markup to improve the display of search results, making it easier for people to find the right web pages. Many sites are generated from structured data, which is often stored in databases. When this data is formatted into HTML, it becomes very difficult to recover the original structured data. Many applications, especially search engines, can benefit greatly from direct access to this structured data. On-page markup enables search engines to understand the information on web pages and provide richer search results in order to make it easier for users to find relevant information on the web. Markup can also enable new tools and applications that make use of the structure. A shared markup vocabulary makes easier for webmasters to decide on a markup schema and get the maximum benefit for their efforts. So, in the spirit of sitemaps.org, search engines have come together to provide a shared collection of schemas that webmasters can use.

Google Apps will only support modern browsers. Beginning August 1st, we’ll support the current and prior major release of Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari on a rolling basis. Each time a new version is released, we’ll begin supporting the update and stop supporting the third-oldest version. That is web sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other web sites or sites that are just not very useful. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on. Google depends on the high-quality content created by wonderful web sites around the world, and we do have a responsibility to encourage a healthy web ecosystem. Therefore, it is important for high-quality sites to be rewarded, and that’s exactly what the change does. For web applications to spring even farther ahead of traditional software, our teams need to make use of new capabilities available in modern browsers. For example, desktop notifications for Gmail and drag-and-drop file upload in Google Docs require advanced browsers that support HTML5. Older browsers just don’t have the chops to provide you with the same high-quality experience. See Browsers and HTML, HTML 5.

Google wanted to let people know what’s going on. An update was designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites.

Much attention has been paid to the recent Google algorithm change that Danny Sullivan called the Farmer Update and that Google in a Wired article referred to as Panda.

There are plenty of articles on both of these topics (one of the best ones is this one by Vanessa Fox, ( about Vanessa_Fox ). In fact, in the months leading up to this I predicted the downfall of Content Farms (which is still a work in progress), and much about this change.

Caffenine. Caffeine provides 50 percent fresher results for web searches than our last index, and it's the largest collection of web content we've offered. Whether it's a news story, a blog or a forum post, you can now find links to relevant content much sooner after it is published than was possible ever before.

New Google Link method. Google was granted a patent that states that the different links on a linking page have a different effect on the linked pages. How does this affect your website and what do you have to do to secure your rankings?

What is the patent about?

The patent describes that the value of a link seems to be based on the probability that a web surfer would click on the link. Here's the summary from the patent application:
"Systems and methods consistent with the principles of the invention may provide a reasonable surfer model that indicates that when a surfer accesses a document with a set of links, the surfer will follow some of the links with higher probability than others. This reasonable surfer model reflects the fact that not all of the links associated with a document are equally likely to be followed. [...]
Examples of unlikely followed links may include 'Terms of Service' links, banner advertisements, and links unrelated to the document."
When Google finds links on a web page, it classifies the links. Some links on the indexed page have more value than others.

How Caffeine Is Already Changing the Search Landscape

When people talk about the future of search, they often include factors such as mobile, social, real-time, and other buzz-type words. But it is not very often that they offer an explanation as to how these elements will impact search moving forward.

However, in this interview with WebProNews, search veteran Bruce Clay tells that side of the story. In the early days, Clay says SEO was easy. He goes on to say that it was somewhat defined even 5 years ago, but social, mobile, and local are not defined at all.

Now, SEO is more difficult and targeted and will get even harder over time. He calls the top 3 search results the new first page. "You can't be good at SEO, you have to be great, " says Clay.

Every day, there are more than a billion searches for information on Google. Have you ever wondered what those searches are aboutor whether what you're searching for also happens to be on the minds of millions of others across the country? We're introducing a new way to find outa regular video series called the Google Beat that highlights some of the hottest searches on Google in the U.S.

Using data from Google Trends, Google Insights for Search and some additional tools, the Google Beat will give you a snapshot of some of the topics that prompted people to turn to the web over the past week.

You've probably seen our previous deep dives into Google search trends, like our annual year-end Zeitgeist and posts here about search trends related to events like the World Cup, the Oscars ® and beyond.

Searches can be unexpected, and sometimes what's popular one week could never have been predicted the week before (think of Falcon Heene, last October's "balloon boy " or Steven Slater). We're looking forward to seeing what our data will reveal.

  Google Launching SearchWiki You Control Your Listings.

Google is planning on giving searchers unprecedented control over search results with what appears to be the launch SearchWiki . Searchwiki looks to be the final version of a customizable search results trial from earlier this year. The aim is to give users the ability to control how listings appear for certain searches.

The eminent launch comes hot on the heals of Microsoft's release of URank which we blogged about last week. U Rank is a search engine that allows people to organize, edit and annotate search results, as well as share information with others.

Google's SearchWiki runs on exactly the same principle, the only difference being is that it's incorporated directly into Google's core results page - not a totally independent search engine. 

Within SearchWiki, users are able to move listings up and down the rankings, delete listings they deem irrelevant, add listings they believe should be included and even add comments to listings (which will be visible to other users).  Read more at Justin Hileman.

Page Load Speed time may become less significant as Internet Broadband and other technology speeds increase. But, and this could be an important but :-

it's Official: Google Now Counts Site Speed As A Ranking Factor Google has stated about page speed loading times. year: Site speed is now a ranking factor in Google's algorithm, and is already in place for U.S. searchers. But Google also cautions web site owners not to sacrifice relevance in the name of faster web pages, and even says this new ranking factor will impact very few queries. More on that below, but first the background on today's announcement from Google Fellow Amit Singhal and Matt Cutts, head of Google's web spam team. Why Page Speed Matters The first warning that site speed was on Google's radar came last November, when Matt Cutts said there was "strong lobbying " inside Google to account for site speed as a new ranking factor. Speaking at SMX West last month, Google's Maile Ohye showed a slide indicating that delays of under a half-second impact business metrics.   Google added a page speed report to Webmasters Tools in the "Labs " section. see Google Releases Page Speed Report In Webmaster ToolsThe report shows how fast your site loads, specifically calls out several pages on your site, and offers suggestions to improve page speed.

Using site speed in web search ranking

You may have heard that here at Google we're obsessed with speed, in Google products and on the web. As part of that effort, today we're including a new signal in our search ranking algorithms: site speed. Site speed reflects how quickly a website responds to web requests.

Speeding up websites is important not just to site owners, but to all Internet users. Faster sites create happy users and we've seen in our internal studies that when a site responds slowly, visitors spend less time there. But faster sites don't just improve user experience; recent data shows that improving site speed also reduces operating costs. Like us, our users place a lot of value in speed that's why we've decided to take site speed into account in our search rankings. We use a variety of sources to determine the speed of a site relative to other sites.

If you are a site owner, webmaster or a web author, here are some free tools that you can use to evaluate the speed of your site:

Pay-per-action advertising. Google's Out to Remake the Ad World Again. The search giant is rolling out a broad trial for advertisers, where they pay only if they get what they want. Google (GOOG) is trying to change the advertising game yet again. On Mar. 20, the king of pay-per-click search advertising said it would begin a broad new advertising trial in which marketers will pay only when customers take a specified action, such as completing an online purchase. For marketers focused on turning ads directly into sales, as opposed to creating a brand image, the new service may be something of an answered prayer. For all its measurability, traditional pay-per-click advertising creates waste for some marketers because it forces them to shell out each time someone stumbles upon their ad and hits the mouse button, whether they are truly interested in making a purchase or merely curious.

Google Radio advertising just got easier. AdWords now provides an online interface that allows you to create a high-quality radio ad and launch a radio advertising campaign, in just a few easy steps.

After your ads actually run, get online reports that tell you exactly when your ad played. You can even hear real-time recordings of how your ads actually sounded on the radio.

Google Responsible Disclosure: Focus on protecting end users. Vulnerability disclosure policies have become a hot topic in recent years. Security researchers generally practice "responsible disclosure ", which involves privately notifying affected software vendors of vulnerabilities. The vendors then typically address the vulnerability at some later date, and the researcher reveals full details publicly at or after this time. A competing philosophy, "full disclosure", involves the researcher making full details of a vulnerability available to everybody simultaneously, giving no preferential treatment to any single party. The argument for responsible disclosure goes briefly thus: by giving the vendor the chance to patch the vulnerability before details are public, end users of the affected software are not put at undue risk, and are safer. Conversely, the argument for full disclosure proceeds: because a given bug may be under active exploitation, full disclosure enables immediate preventative action, and pressures vendors for fast fixes. Speedy fixes, in turn, make users safer by reducing the number of vulnerabilities available to attackers at any given time. More Internet Security Issues    Google New Privacy Policy

Many projects at Google store data in Bigtable, including web indexing, Google Earth, and Google Finance.

Google Launches Encrypted Search Option. Are your Web searches safe from snoops?

Yahoo and Bing, (called BingHoo by some).

To be successful in paid search, marketers need to, obviously, have a presence on Google. As Christine Churchill of KeyRelevance points out, Google controls anywhere from 60-80 percent of the paid search engine market share, based on various reports

She goes on to say that marketers also need to utilize the recently combined Yahoo and Microsoft adCenter. Operating as one, “Binghoo,” as Churchill calls it, has approximately 30 percent of the paid search market share. Although Google AdWords is established and has great tools, there is still value in “Binghoo.”

Google Web Toolkit - Build AJAX apps in the Java language.  Download Google Web Toolkit (GWT) this  is a Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps and Gmail easy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language. Writing dynamic web applications today is a tedious and error-prone process; you spend 90% of your time working around subtle incompatibilities' between web browsers and platforms, and JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult and fragile. GWT lets you avoid many of these headaches while offering your users the same dynamic, standards-compliant experience. You write your front end in the Java programming language, and the GWT compiler converts your Java classes to browser-compliant JavaScript' and HTML.

The Googlecomm Fable from Search Engine Honesty

Alternate URL If your website has Google Ads and  it is displaying unpaid public service announcements, (these are used when Google has no paying text ads to show), you could be losing money. You could be making more money by adding an Alternate URL. Add an Alternate URL and earn money instead of showing unpaid public service announcements. Take advantage of an Alternate URL. Earn revenue from your default ads. If you use Google AdSense or any another ad program to earn money from your website, now you can increase the amount of revenue you make automatically. Most online ad programs, including Google, will sometimes show default ads, or public service announcements (PSAs) when they have no paying ads to show. This can happen for many reasons, especially when their ad code crawls your pages. Alternate URL lets you replace those ads with paying ads. Just use the code we provide to replace your ad program's default ads. Or use with Google, FastClick and many other ad programs. Or you can use Alternate URL as your primary ad program.

A look inside Google AdSense. Ad Rank explained! Ever wonder what determines the order in which ads appear on your site? Then you've wondered about the Google AdWords ad ranking system. AdWords is the advertising platform thousands of advertisers use to place their ads on the Google network. Once an ad is in the AdWords system, it competes against other ads to appear on relevant pages in the AdSense® network. It's through this real-time dynamic auction system that ads are ranked. Those ads with the highest Ad Rank at any given moment are displayed on your site.

Meet Android Market's Malware Bouncer
Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:08:34 -0500 -

One of the leading knocks on Google's freewheeling, open approach to the Android Market is that it's leaves the application store more susceptible to malware and lots of spammy apps.

Indeed, Symantec, Lookout Mobile and other security firms have reported a significant rise in Android Market malware in the last 12 months.

And with over 200 million Android devices in the market, with 700,000 being activated daily, and over 300,000 Android apps in the Market, there are a lot of mobile targets for perpetrators to exploit.

Google's automated app approval process is a popular vector for attack. To help combat the malware rise, Google created Bouncer, an anti-malware service that automatically scans the Android Market for potentially malicious software.

Bouncer, which Google has been using in its Market for all of 2011, scans new and old applications and developer accounts. Hiroshi Lockheimer, vice president of engineering for Android, explained how it works:

Once an application is uploaded, the service immediately starts analyzing it for known malware, spyware and trojans. It also looks for behaviors that indicate an application might be misbehaving, and compares it against previously analyzed apps to detect possible red flags. We actually run every application on Google's cloud infrastructure and simulate how it will run on an Android device to look for hidden, malicious behavior. We also analyze new developer accounts to help prevent malicious and repeat-offending developers from coming back.

The result? Android malware downloads decreased 40 percent through 2011, which is when Symantec, Lookout and others reported malicious apps were on the rise.

I wonder if Symantec, Lookout and others knew about this feature? It's unclear, but Lockheimer did tell AllThingsDigital that Google has no plans to embrace the manual app approval process Apple and Microsoft employ to vet apps in their stores.

This makes sense. Manual approvals bog down the works, which is anathema to Google, whose culture is built on speedy development and expedient delivery to market.

I can't imagine Android head Andy Rubin or CEO Larry Page would ditch the automated, machine-based practices, even for malware. Which is why it needed the Bouncer. We'll see if it helps combat the spate of Netflix malware and other issues.


Google Docs for Android Gets Offline File Access
Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:01:00 -0500 -

Google continues to leverage its good work in HTML5 to enable its productivity and collaboration applications to work offline.

The company is now letting users make any Google Docs available offline from their Android smartphone or tablet computer.

This covers documents, Google presentations, Google spreadsheets, uploaded images, and files in formats such as .pdf, .doc, .xls and .ppt. Users may do this with or without a Web connection.

This feature is important for users who don't have access to an Web connection and need to access a file they've saved. Google does not enable Doc editing at this time.

This is obviously not a big concern for users with 3G- and 4G-radio powered smartphones, but Google still has the use case:

Docs Offline 1.png

I wager the feature is super useful for users of the WiFi-only Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and others of its ilk who need to grab their Docs.

Moreover, Docs will automatically update offline files when users do get on WiFi. Of course, users with Web connections may manually update files by opening the file or tapping Update from the Offline section of the app.

See the manual update screenshot from an Android tablet here:

Google Docs Offline 2.png

Users should also follow these instructions for how to enable offline access from their Android gadgets here.

How is Google doing this? Again, it's HTML5, the same technology Google used for offline Gmail, Docs and Calendar through Google Chrome on desktops such as Chromebooks.


Much Ado About Google's Privacy Policy Changes
Wed, 01 Feb 2012 08:53:23 -0500 -

Google is getting a lot of flak about its new privacy policies, some of it warranted and some of it not.

The fact is that Google has been heading along this path for years. One could argue the first indication was the Dashboard Google set up in 2009 to provide users more information about how they are creating data in Google's applications. More direct proof came in 2010 with a much more minor, subtle announcement that Google was streamlining its privacy policies.

Then came the big streamlining of 2012. Google decided to roll up 60 existing services under one broad banner policy.

While regulators are likely to rejoice over such simplicity--and Microsoft is leveraging the move to slam Google--much more controversial is that it would treat all of the Google accounts within those services as the same, and enable data-sharing between services.

This wasn't a choice, and many of the media, including myself, noted that users could not opt out. This is true, but opting out isn't an issue or the issue. If you don't want to fall under the new privacy policy, log out of Google. You can still use Search, Maps and YouTube.

You have to sign into Gmail because, well, your email address is your Web identity as far as Google accounts are concerned. But no one is stopping you from creating anonymous Google accounts, or even multiple user accounts.

Publicly, Google argues these changes promote simplicity and improve the Web services themselves. Privately, Google is aghast. Why? Because Microsoft, Yahoo and other Internet giants also have streamlined policies, yet no one freaked out over those. People also have full-blown freak-outs about Facebook's privacy and Timeline changes. It's natural paranoia.

Why is this a big deal now? Google couldn't have announced this sweeping change at a worse time. Google has only just recovered from two major privacy scandals--the Google Buzz Gaffe of 2010 and the Google WiSpy Washout of 2011.

Congress was quite annoyed about both incidents, and the FTC actually put Google on audit watch for two decades.

Google is also being savaged by smaller rivals in the press, who have bent the ears of antitrust regulators in Europe and the United States with their collective tales of woe.

Congressmen in September vilified Google for "cooking" its search algorithms, only to watch Google leverage Google+ to prop up its own search results with its Search, plus your world service several months later.

Thanks to the latter initiative, which flies in the face of claims by the Yelps and Expedias of this world that Google seems bent on propping up its own Web services, I can only guess the FTC will surely open a major investigation and call Google to the carpet.

There will be blood, green blood made of cash, and Google will expel a lot of it. But, like Microsoft before it, Google will not expire. It will pay to play, and hopefully, unlike Microsoft before it, won't fail to innovate online and struggle to restore its relevancy on the Web.

Google is evolving, partly to make its loosely amalgamated Web services more cohesive, partly to compete with Facebook, and mostly to improve its advertising-targeting capabilities, which will lead to great revenue growth.

I'm enjoying the evolution, and would love to see if Google can pull it off, and make sense of some super-connected Internet where we can control TV with our phones and have our Web services update based on our location, all communicating in harmony.

I'd like to believe Google will be as good as it claims it will. I don't need it to be "beautiful" as top Googlers like to preach, but I do need it to work well.

I'm OK with this. Google hasn't flouted my data to date (insofar as I know). I'm not saying you should be, too. I'm just saying that the company would be stupid to sacrifice my good will for money.

Because I have the ultimate Bully Pulpit--this blog--and I believe there is a mutual respect. If not, hell hath no fury like a journalist scorn.

I choose not to live in fear or walk on eggshells where my data is concerned. If I don't like it, I can leave Google and export it.

In the meantime, the blogosphere needs to take a chill pill grande.


Lots of Google Apps Seats Live in Large Businesses
Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:24:53 -0500 -

There is a long-held belief that the majority of Google App customers are small mom-and-pop shops, ranging between two and 10 employees.

Technically, that is true of the 4 million-plus businesses using Google Apps. However, there are more companies of scale using Apps than you might think, according to a new analysis by Backupify.

While 53 percent of Apps domains are comprised of 10 seats or fewer, the software as a service (SaaS) storage company said nearly 40 percent of all of Apps seats are used by businesses with more than 10,000 employees (once you remove educational institution seats).

In fact, this chart notes that 94 percent of Apps seats are used by 15 percent of Google's Apps customers:

How did Backupify come by its data? The company explained:

Over 8,000 businesses have signed up for a trial of our Google Apps backup product, or Snapshot--our Google Apps account download tool. When someone signs up for a trial, one of the pieces of information Google sends us over the API is the total number of seats on the domain (which we use for capacity planning).

Of course, large business is a relative term. Most people don't consider a business with 10,000 seats to be large, but medium.

Certainly, a bank such as Spain's BBVA, wouldn't look at 10,000 users as a big business. BBVA, which Google landed as its largest Apps contract to date, boasts 110,000 employees, most of whom will be move to Apps this year.

Now that's a big business!


Google Search Head Preaches Patience for Personal Search
Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:01:00 -0500 -

Danny Sullivan, the Search Engine Land head who has been dogged in his criticism of Google's Search plus your world feature, scored a nice interview with the company's search head, Amit Singhal.

If you've been following the SPYW coverage, you should read it because it reveals much about the company's mindset concerning the way it took the service to market.

SPYW is the personal search feature that incorporates users' Google+ posts and photos in users' search results. The service came under fire by Twitter and then Facebook for failing to include those sources in search results.

Media wed to the notion of the independent Web criticized SPYW for this reason and noted that this makes results less relevant and geared more toward Google. Of course, because Google is seen to be favoring its own content over that of rivals, the antitrust klaxon has been sounded.

I've been using the service for two weeks and there's no question my results are more Googley -- Googley in the sense that on any given day if I search for "movies" or "music," 70 percent of the links will be Google-related -- Google+, Google Music, etc, with the remainder being from Yahoo, Bing or some other service.

A Google spokesperson told me that SPYW is still, like all Google search, based on relevancy, albeit personalized to each user. Somehow though I don't think Yahoo Music or Movies are very relevant to Google searchers.

I think Google designed that as a defense against claims that it is excluding rivals. Instead, Google excludes Facebook and Twitter. Why?

A person familiar with Google's plans told me last week that Google was stung by the lapsed real-time search deal with Twitter and the fact that Facebook hid most of its data from Google.

The Twitter issue was especially embarrassing because that service drove the lion's share of real-time search results for Google. Singhal confirmed as much for Sullivan:

Fundamentally, what we learned with our great Realtime Search product is that once you build a great product that users love, then someone else can decide the fate of that product [because when the Twitter deal wasn't renewed, the Google's Realtime Search service depended so much on Twitter that it had to be closed]. That was a very bad experience for Google's users, and it was a bad experience for our teams. They put their heart and souls into building a great product, just to see that go to waste. We're very open to incorporating information from other services, but that needs to be done on terms that wouldn't change in a short period of time and make our products vanish.

I bolded the last part, which is key because it indicates just how gun shy Google is about working with Twitter and Facebook. Singhal admitted that even if Google had Twitter's firehose feed again, Google might not use it.

Also key to the interview is that the average Google user, which makes up the majority of Google's 1 billion searchers, isn't overwhelmingly irked by Google's changes. Or, if they are, they aren't expressing their discontent in the Google Web search forums, as Sullivan noted.

For now, the complaining seems limited to the tech-savvy independent Web torch carriers who are familiar with the politics of these Web and social goings-on.

In other words, Singhal's suggestion that the complaining is much ado about nothing may have meat. Then again, as he himself noted, it's early days. The product isn't done, and users haven't completed their evaluations.

There is still plenty of time to judge SPYW as a ploy to favor Google results above others, or an improvement over Google's universal search approach, which roiled search waters when it was initially rolled out five years ago.

As I write this, I think it's both. Personal results are, of course, subjective. Some people will find them super relevant; others will long for Google's independent-leaning legacy. Where do you stand?


Google Music Allows Downloads, YouTube Videos
Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:01:00 -0500 -

Google is providing two new perks for Google Music users, including the ability to shuttle their tracks from the music locker and share YouTube videos.

Users have been able to upload up to 20,000 songs to the Google Music locker and play them on their Android smartphone or tablet since the full, non-beta service launched last November.

However, once the music was there, that's it. Users could simply stream tracks. Until today--now users have another way to back up their music.

Going forward, users can download all songs from Google Music, including songs they uploaded themselves to those purchased in the Music store (up to two downloads per song for Music store tunes). Downloads will be formatted as MP3 files at 320k bps.

Google provided instructions for downloading Music store cuts and their uploaded tracks from its cloud.

The other cool feature is the ability to share YouTube videos along with songs users uploaded and chose to share with their Circles on Google+.

Just click the dropdown menu next to the song title to share the video, which will look like this:

Google Music YT.png

It's not clear how many Google users are using Google Music, but I've uploaded a few free albums and shared some tracks from them via Google+.

The problem is that anything I wish to listen to I can stream right from YouTube. I often do so right from Google+ as a matter of fact. So it seems like a waste of money for me to buy versions of songs I can listen to whenever I want.

Of course, anti-piracy advocates are appalled, but most of the rightholders are simply combating copyrighted videos on YouTube, not studio cuts of songs. Like Billy Joel says, Don't ask me why:




How Many Android Gadgets Do We Wish?
Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:01:00 -0500 -

The Verge founder Josh Topolsky both marveled at and lamented the sheer volume of smartphones, tablets and other consumer devices trotted out at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show.

Topolsky hosted a panel where he pressed Samsung and HTC marketing executives on "whether or not technology manufacturers were simply producing too many gadgets, outpacing real consumer demand with iterative, insubstantial changes."

Complaining that there are too many mobile devices at CES is like complaining there there is a choir singing in a Christian church, but he's entitled to his opinion. More to the point, he's right.

I've made this complaint before vis-a-vis Android gadgets.

As someone who has tested literally dozens of Android smartphones and tablets since November 2009 (along with some Windows Phones, iPads and Research In Motion's Blackberry PlayBook, I can vouch for the oversaturation of gadgets based on that OS.

The problem I've come up against occurs on a personal level. My Motorola Droid X is under contract with Verizon Wireless until November 2012, though I can upgrade my hardware this August.

Every few months, I test a new Android handset and think 'This will be my next phone." The first time this happened with Samsung's Droid Charge, which blew me away by dint of its muscular feel and 4G LTE power:

Droid Charge.png

I was hung up on that phone for months until the Motorola Droid Razr hit my hand last November. What a sweet freakin phone! Thin, strong, with Kevlar and 4G LTE speedy.

Droid Razr.png

Who needs a Motorola Droid Bionic, essentially a faster Droid X, when you can get a Razr?

Alas, later today I will receive from Motorola its Droid Razr Maxx, the Razr with double the battery life, capable of lasting 21 hours. That's right up my alley.

Droid Maxx.png

And yet I fear something better will come along between now and August, when it's hardware-upgrade time.

This has happened in tablets, too. I've loved my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 ever so much until the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus stole my heart by being speedy and portable.

You see my dilemma? Maybe you think it's a nice one to have.

Google, Android OEMs and carriers like to tout the choice before consumers in the market,

Personally, I think 30 different phones are enough to choose from, but there are more than 300 Android handsets available today. That's insane to me, and many of them aren't getting bought.

Maybe 100 is more reasonable. OEMs have to make money somehow and tens of millions of people are buying smartphones each year. Is variety the spice of demand in consumer electronics? Perhaps.

I used to scoff at Apple's boring, one-phone-a-year release rate. Now it's not looking so silly, especially after the company just sold 37 million iPhones in the last quarter alone.

You'd have to tap Samsung's whole Galaxy S and S II lines, which span a dozen phones, plus throw in some others, to equal that.

On the other hand, more Android phone means more devices to review for readers to get a handle on, which is good for me and eWEEK. So I won't complain, even if consumers do.


Google Keeps Mum on Don't Be Evil Bookmarklet
Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:56:36 -0500 -

Ever since Facebook Product Director Blake Ross unveiled his Don't Be Evil bookmarklet, which uses Google's search indexes to show what Google Search, plus your world would look like if it included results from Facebook, Twitter and other sources, the tech world has been waiting for Google to respond.

There will be no response, at least not publicly, not now.

As I understand it from speaking with sources familiar with Google's thinking, Google isn't convinced the bookmarkelt, which works in Chrome, Firefox and Safari, is the smoking gun Ross and others make it out to be.

Ross positioned the tool as a way to show how Google can include data from rival sources despite the fact that Google claimed it couldn't do so because Facebook and Twitter wall off their meaningful data. See his demo video here:

For Twitter, that's the firehose API, granting Google access to the company's real-time datastream and tweets. Twitter shut off this hose last July, forcing Google to close its real-time search service.

Google can crawl Facebook profile pictures and other limited profile data, but not posts and photos and Likes, the way Microsoft's Bing currently can. So for Search, plus your world, Google claimed it was hamstrung.

The bookmarklet shows a different side -- namely Google+ results and Facebook and Twitter links. However, while it does show disparate data sources, you can make the case they're not necessarily as relevant as Google intended the SPYW personal results to be.

For example, search WWE in Google search, with SPYW activated:

SPYW WWE.png

Now Click the Don't Be Evil bookmarklet on the same WWE results page:

DBE WWE.png

Note the arrows I used to highlight the first obvious differences in the results. SPYW points to a recent post from 5 hours ago. Don't Be Evil takes you to the Twitter homepage.

What is more relevant? Who decides that? Google would argue its result is fresher, though you can't escape the fact that in the screenshot, Google+ content reigns supreme.

Facebook's Ross would argue that Don't Be Evil offers more disparate choices, which is better for users.

In other words, subjectivity reigns here. If you're an avid Google user, you may love the new, personal Googley experience. If you're a Google user who loves to have other Web services aggregated in results, you'll appreciate what Don't Be Evil does.

Make no mistake, Google is creating something of its own, mini Internet experience here, without the walled garden approach Facebook has. Google+ results are positively dominating the search experience when SPYW is on.

Of course, users can click the button in the upper right-hand corner of SPYW to hide personal results. With Facebook, what you see is what you and others put there, and it stays like that.

Google felt pushed to do this by Facebook and Twitter, who declined to give it the data it asked for to create a meaningful social search experience. Some people will like or love it. Others will hate it. Google is getting raked over the coals and scrutinized.

What Google won't do is engage Facebook and Twitter in a he said, she said of what is better for the user, mostly because it's moot. And here's why: Google is all in on Google+ and SPYW.

Sarah Lacy over at her new PandoDaily blog (hate the name, love the content), noted that Google CEO Larry Page essentially told employees:

"This is the path we're headed down - a single unified, 'beautiful' product across everything. If you don't get that, then you should probably work somewhere else."

Now I can totally believe that -- it's a very Page-like thing to say. But I also believe several Googlers who do believe Page and his team dashed apart Google's unbiased search principles on the rocks of competition at all cost will leave the company over this.


Google Hotel Finder Now Refines Results by Travel Time
Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:01:00 -0500 -

Google has upgraded the Hotel Finder travel search feature, adding an option to help users filter hotels by how close they want to be to a place when looking for a place to stay.

Launched last July to help travelers narrow their options for hotel stays, Hotel Finder surfaces hotels in densely populated cities by selecting an initial shape for users based on what's most popular.

At launch, users could refine their hotel search by cost per night, hotel class and user rating.

The latest filter, Hotels by Travel Time, lets users enter a city landmark in the search box to see hotels within 30 minutes of that landmark's location by public transit. Users may also refine hotel search by those places listed in popular areas or those selected.

Google used the example of the Empire State Building, and I played along to see:

Google HF.png

I circled the maximum travel time option, which is cool because you can dial it down in 5 minute increments, to 25, 20, 10 and 5 minutes travel time by public transit or on foot if you prefer to walk.

As you dial the travel time up or down, the map will update automatically to show a new spotlighted area and the nearby hotels. Users may also just drag the red pin they see on the map to find hotels near other landmarks.

Or refine search by popular locations or the area:

Google HF 2.png

And here is what happens when you click on the location to expand your search area:

Google HF 3.png

Search Engine Land has some additional practical use cases for the hotels by travel time feature.

We'll throw out one more: Hotels within 15 minutes of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France:

Google HF 4.png

Google warns that both the Hotel Finder and the new travel time tool are experimental. Moreover, filtering by transit time is only available in cities where Google partnered with local transit agencies to integrate their data into Google Maps.

This is clearly a useful tool for travelers within dense, urban areas. Just as with Street View, Google is starting narrow and perfecting the tool before it branches out to rural and additional international regions.

Happy hotel hunting!


Why Google Can't Reveal Google+ User Engagement Yet
Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:01:00 -0500 -

Over at VentureBeat, Rocky Agrawal is outraged at Google for being "intellectually dishonest" regarding the user engagement the company is seeing in its Google+ social network. Google+.png

As I noted Saturday, Google CEO Larry Page counted 90 million Google+ accounts, but declined to say how frequently users were accessing +, what they were doing there and for how long. These are key user engagement statistics. Facebook shares tons of them. Google won't.

Agrawal said Google also tried to trick users by having Page say "+users are very engaged with our products--over 60 percent of them engage daily, and over 80 percent weekly." Hopefully, Google would trick a few journalists into reporting 60 percent of Google+ users engage on the Website daily. Agrawal noted:

But what concerns me most is that Google is touting these meaningless statistics in the hopes that journalists will misunderstand them and report that Google+ is seeing rapid growth. The bottom line is, those 60 percents, 80 percents and 90 million registered users are just there to mask the fact that Google doesn't want to tell us how many people are actually using Google+.

It's intellectually dishonest. And as a public company, it raises questions of Google's intent -- the market is watching Google's moves in social and needs to see traction. I expect better from Google.

This hand-wringing is valid until you understand Google can't report user engagement -- not yet. It's too soon.

Social media experts put so much emphasis on user engagement that no matter what Google reports, people will compare it to Facebook and label it an utter failure.

For marketing reasons, Google can't afford to have reporters writing headlines such as "Google Had 90 Million Accounts But Little User Engagement."

If Google loses the marketing and PR battle with Google+, it will lose the interest of users who don't want to be seen using the "next MySpace." That goes for prospective advertisers, who will continue to flock to Facebook.

It's a Catch-22 of epic proportions, which is why I cringe every time Page or some other Googler discusses Google+ stats.

Agrawal is right; Google shouldn't be disingenuous. What it should be is quiet until it has something meaningful and substantive to report regarding Google+.

In the meantime, feel free to follow Agrawal's advice and write off that Google+ registered user count as a phantom number.

Sure, there may be 90 million or 100 million people who register, but how many of those people register accounts as placeholders for themselves and their families? That's something to consider, too. Every tech-savvy user does it to ensure their kids get the best names.


Google Apps Fuels BBVA Email for 110,000 Employees
Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:01:00 -0500 -

Google Apps, the cloud-based collaboration software for businesses, is set to turn 5 years old next month. Apps BBVA.png

Google celebrated early in landing BBVA as its largest Google Apps deployment to date, spanning 110,000 employees.

BBVA, which is short for Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., is the second largest bank in Spain and seventh largest financial institution in the Western world, according to Wikipedia. BBVA operates in over 40 countries. So it's darned big.

Importantly, those seats are paid. The simple math shows that at $50 per user per year, the cost of the contract is at least $5.5 million. That's revenue that doesn't come from advertising, Google's lifeblood.

Given its size, it's natural BBVA has a lot of employees spread across remote offices using a lot of computing infrastructure. They won't need as much of it now with Google hosting Gmail and other tools for the company. BBVA CIO José Olalla wrote in a blog post for Google:

Integrating the Google Apps for Business suite with our own tools will allow us to introduce a new way of working where employees have access to all the information they need with just one click, no matter where they are or what kind of device they use, and can reap the benefits of using advanced collaboration tools.

A BBVA spokesperson confirmed for me BBVA replaced Microsoft Outlook/Exchange systems with Gmail for the company's intranet, and will use Google Talk, Google Sites and Google Docs for communication and collaboration. The migration is ongoing.

Any way you slice it, this is a big win for Google, whose largest paid Apps deployment before BBVA was Ahold at 55,000 users.

More importantly, it's a win over Microsoft, especially now. Why? A couple years ago, Microsoft didn't really have a cohesive cloud collaboration play. Now it does -- Office 365 is a solid, solid product by most accounts.

So Google was able to poach BBVA from Microsoft despite the presence of a competing Microsoft cloud collaboration suite.

Not too shabby. Google could use more of these, and less of the Los Angeles partial contract fiascos, in 2012.

If the company starts to tack on more banks or government institutions where the install bases are large, the momentum could snowball for paid Google Apps.


Google+ Gets Search Conversations, Video Updates
Thu, 19 Jan 2012 00:01:00 -0500 -

Google has really revved its Google+ engine in this second full week of the new year.

One day after I discussed the new Google+ photo meme feature and auto-complete search for hashtags, the company has rolled out a handful of new tools to refine the user experience.

I'm going to start with my favorite: the ability to join conversations from search results on Google+ by sharing to a topical stream. Do a search for, say, Android and get the results.

You can choose to make a post right from the results by clicking the "join the discussion about android prompt:

Google+ Shared Search.png

When you post from a results page, your submission includes a link back to the original search stream to enable others to engage in the conversation.

Why do I like this feature so much? This has the potential to have Twitter-like conversation and Circle discovery effects, especially if people use hashtags throughout as breadcrumbs.

Next up, is a self-reflexive communications feature: the ability to record a video of yourself with your computer webcam and share it via Google+.

Click in a share box in your Google+ stream, click the video icon in the share box and then select record video like so:

Google+ Video Record.png

Make sure to grant Flash access to your camera, to begin recording.

When finished, the video appears as an attachment to the post and may be shared. You can leave little video diaries if you like. This has the potential to become annoying fast, but some people will like it.

Google also pre-announced two new mobile Web app features for Google+: the What's Hot stream, which replaced the Sparks popular trends link on the desktop version months ago, and the ability to see who +1'd a post, which is always a Google+ favorite. Check them out in this video:

Google, which said these two tools are coming to the Google+ Android app, iOS app and the Web app, explained:

With What's Hot, you can now see some of the most interesting content being shared on Google+ with a flick of your thumb. To use it, just swipe to the right of your Circles stream. To see who +1'd a post in the stream, just click on the +1 count underneath the post.

Shout out to ReadWriteWeb's Jon Mitchell for spying the updates.


Google+ Adds Fun Photo Caption Feature, Auto-complete Hashtags
Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:01:00 -0500 -

The Google+ team has added a fun new feature to photos -- the ability to add text within pictures.

Take this picture I snagged at CES last week. Before sharing it on Google+, I click Add text:

Google+ Android.png

See here the options to add text above, in the middle of or below the picture:

Google+ Android 1.png

Then I choose the text typeface. You can also write something in the post's text box above the picture:

Google+ Android 2.png

And voila, I share the photo with my stream:

Google+ Android 3.png

Google will be checking for funny, ha-ha examples at the hash tags #funwithphotos and #googleplusupdate.

Speaking of hashtags, Googler and hashtag creator Chris Messina said Google has rolled out an auto-complete feature for those fun symbols that help tag posts into groups.

Start typing a hashtag in a post or comment and Google+ will present a list of hashtags you might be looking for. Here's how it works:

This should be a super time saver for folks, not unlike how search auto-complete and Google Instant are for Google's search results.


Google to Command CES 2013 With Android
Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:01:00 -0500 -

Android@home.png

I attended the high-tech tour de force known as the Consumer Electronics Show last week for two days in Las Vegas. It was my second year in a row covering the show.

People have painted the show as increasingly irrelevant. Microsoft didn't help when it vowed to pull out as keynote going forward, but CES still draws huge crowds. The Consumer Electronics Association said some 153,000 people attended the show this year, a new record. CEA noted:

More than 20,000 new products were launched at the 2012 CES, which also featured top executives participating in keynote sessions, including those from Qualcomm, Mercedes, Wal-Mart, Intel, Ford, Verizon, Unilever, Ford, eBay, GE, Google and Facebook.

Indeed, even the mighty Apple deigned to send over 250 employees to the event to scope out the competition, or possibly to gloat over how everyone else is far behind.

CES is dying? Riiiight. Still, Microsoft's vacancy next year leaves some Redmond-sized shoes to fill. Who, then, shall we nominate to fill the void? Google would be a good choice.

CNET's Rafe Needleman made a great point when he notes 2013's CES could be dominated by Google, which has ostensibly become the Microsoft of mobile.

Indeed, in the last two CES' I've attended, Google's Android platform has been the dominant force, with more smartphones and tablets launched on that platform than any other.

Makes sense, considering Android commands more than 50 percent of the worldwide smartphone market, which in itself makes tablet makers hopeful that they can translate a modicum of that success to tabletry.

Whether you liked the Intel Atom- and Android-based K800 smartphone from Lenovo, or Asus' Tranformer Prime quad-core tablet, there was plenty for Android lovers to like at the show this year.

Moreover, the Android-based Google TV is weaving a Web throughout Internet-enabled TVs, Blu-ray players and streaming media servers from the likes of Sony, LG, Vizio and others.

Google could use the massive, unparalleled platform that CES has been for the last few decades to launch a new Google TV product. Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt in fact just touted one such product at CES, in which a user's Android phone alerts their Google TV the user has arrived. The system could begin queuing up programming based on the user's preferences.

More broadly, Google might also use CES as a stage for Android@Home, its experimental home connectivity platform for putting wireless sensors into light switches, stereos and refrigerators. We'll likely get an update on that at Google I/O this year.




Murdoch Rips White House SOPA Stance, Google on Twitter
Mon, 16 Jan 2012 05:57:55 -0500 -

With anyone else, we call this outburst chutzpah, but this being media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and Murdoch almost always showing a propensity for saying Murdochian things, we'll view this following Jan. 12 tweetburst via Twitter as de rigeur.

Basically, Murdoch called out President Barack Obama and Google over the White House's position on the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), in which Obama beat the anti-piracy measure over the head with the political equivalent of a Louisville slugger bat and left it for dead in a roadside ditch. Murdoch responded thusly:

Murdoch 1.png

GigaOm's Om Malik had a nice pointed response to Murdoch's perceived hypocrisy:

Murdoch 2.png

That one has to hurt, as Murdoch himself said "we screwed up in every way possible" with MySpace. How poignant.

However, the comment about lobbying is another good zinger. Many Google critics have lamented the money Google pours into Capitol Hill lobbying -- millions of dollars each year. There is the perception that Google is in bed with the White House and vice versa.

Not that Google needed Malik to stick up for it, telling CNET this past weekend:

This is just nonsense. Last year we took down 5 million infringing Web pages from our search results and invested more than $60 million in the fight against bad ads. ... We fight pirates and counterfeiters every day.

True, but I can still go on YouTube and get a lot of pirated stuff that I shouldn't be able to access. Viacom always pointed to copyrighted video content, but I can snag plenty of studio cuts from my favorite bands that are illicitly uploaded to YouTube.

I'm talking whole albums, that I can stream via my YouTube player in Google+. Not complaining, by the way. Just sayin'.

The Go Programming Language Promo    
  The Go Programming Language.

A systems programming language expressive, concurrent, garbage-collected.

Go is an experiment. We hope adventurous users will give it a try and see if they enjoy it. Not every programmer will, but we hope enough will find satisfaction in the approach it offers to justify further development.

Is Google using Go internally?

The Go project was conceived to make it easier to write the kind of servers and other software Google uses internally, but the implementation isn't quite mature enough yet for large-scale production use. While we continue development we are also doing experiments with the language as a candidate server environment. It's getting there. For instance, the server behind Go is a Go program; in fact it's just the godoc document server running in a production configuration.
