Google co-founder Sergey Brin has started a blog called Too.
The blog uses a simple light on black template. Sergey says, "Welcome to my personal
blog. While Google is a play on googol, too is a play on the much smaller number
-- two. It also means 'in addition', as this blog reflects my life outside of work."

In his first longer post, Sergey writes about his mother's Parkinson's Disease,
its relation to his wife Anne Wojcicki's company 23andMe -- a company which provides
personal genes analysis, and which Google invested $3.9 million in, and which Sergey
had loaned money to ...

Google's Franz Och and Alfred Spector add their thoughts to Google's series of musings
on the future of the internet and Google over the next 10 years:

In coming years, computer processing, storage, and networking capabilities will
continue up the steeply exponential curve they have followed for the past few decades.
By 2019, parallel-processing computer clusters will be 50 to 100 times more powerful
in most respects. (...)

Thus, computer systems will have greater opportunity to learn from the collective
behavior of billions of humans. They will get smarter, gleaning relationships between
objects, nuances, intentions, meanings, and other deep conceptual information.

The writers add:

The impact of such syste ...

Entering site:hrw.org into Google China for a long time resulted in a censorship
notice instead of a link to the Human Rights Watch organization (Google went live
with a self-censored Google.cn in January 2006). Now when I enter that query into
Google.cn, at least here from Germany, I get the real site and no censorship notice
anymore. I don't know when this happened, and why; perhaps Google received an updated
blacklist from the Chinese government, perhaps something changed with Google's censorship
algorithm, perhaps Google lobbied for this site to be taken from the list, or something
else happened.

Does this mean Go ...

Ever Since 2007, Google hosts stories by some news agencies like Associated Press
as part of Google News. While many other news sites (e.g. CNN) carry stories by
news agencies too, linking to Google News hosted stories seemed like a good idea
if you like to point readers to an uncluttered version of the report. However, as
Digital Inspiration points out and as Google explains in their help, these Google
News articles disappear after 30 days -- compare

Google created a German microsite called Google Full Value of Search to advertise
their AdWords program, which shows ads in search results. A PDF they include (labeled
"Google Confidential and Proprietary" in the footer) talks about a Google-initiated
market study by Eye Square and TNS Infratest analyzing the efficiency of sponsored
links on result pages. One slide includes an eye tracking study, showing where users
focus on in results during the first 5 seconds; one major focus is the top yellow
box showing the AdWords. Another slide tells advertisers how easily those AdWords
are confused with organic search results. The following from an interview conducted
with test user Erik is quoted by Google (my tra ...

Yahoo now lets you playback songs for some artists right from the search results
page. Search for nada surf, for instance, and you'll see an artist box on top, listing
a couple of songs along with play buttons. Hitting play opens a little Flash-based
player (called "FoxyPlayer" by Yahoo) at the bottom of the page . You can listen
to the full song, in partnership with music service Rhapsody, though your number
of playbacks is somewhat restricted (I'm not sure how serious the restriction of
25 playbacks is; it's not a cookie-based barrier, and if it's IP-based it might
be relatively e ...
