Google Just A Bunch Of Marketing Gimmicks?
Mike Elgan over as ComputerWorld.com let loose on the fact that Google slings around the terms ‘beta‘ and ‘experimental‘ only to get around blame and criticism. I tend to agree.
Just like Microsoft and many other software companies, Google designates a huge number of its many online services as beta, and many features as merely “experimental.”

NOAA Implements Google Maps To Forecast Pages
I’m a weather junkie, no doubt about it. However, I was surprised to see that NOAA has implemented Google Maps into their point forecast pages. Typically, the map would display a plain image with county lines and various cities. Clicking on the exact location of where you live for your specific forecast was a trivial [...]

I for one am really happy that Google took this measure because it was becoming increasingly annoying, to browse search [...]
Blogs Introduced Into Universal Google Search
eWeek is reporting that Google will be adding blogs to their universal search results. Apparently, starting next week, links to blogs will show up next to images, news, books, local maps and video. This is awesome news for anyone that has a blog. Already, I garner quite a bit of search engine traffic from Google.com [...]
Google Design With Comic Sans
All Graphic Design has posted a funny picture of Google if it were designed with the font, ComicSans. The funny aspect of this is the actual search terms combined with the results. The search terms “comic sans sucks” brings up a number of search results, including a spoof from Google.com themselves. Comic Sans is not [...]
Steve Ballmer On Search And More
