If you’re interested in that conference FM hosted earlier this month, the first batch of videos are up. Some are quite long, and take a while to load in flash, but once they do, they play smoothly. My favorites:
The Opening (yeah, it’s me, but I frame what I mean by all this, if that interests you.)
Scott Cook (very thoughtful)
Steve Hayden sets up the day
More will be up as time permits, so check back if you’re interested.

Mike has a big scoop on Google’s plan to respond to Facebook.
In the long run, Google seems to be planning to add a social layer on top of the entire suite of Google services, with Orkut as their initial main source of social graph information and, as I said above, possibly adding third party networks to the back end as well.

Oh My: Hittail Shows Me A, er, Killer Search Refer
The Hittail ads are back up on Searchblog. I'm fascinated by them. What I like is that I can check the ad up top to see what folks are typing into search engines that leads them to this site. Then today I saw that someone came to my site…
The Hittail ads are back up on Searchblog. I’m fascinated by them. What I like is that I can check the ad up top to see what folks are typing into search engines that leads them to this site. Then today I saw that someone came to my site by typing “How to kill your wife” into Google. Searchblog is #4 due to a post I did about a fellow who was busted thanks to his search history.
And now I’ve probably made it worse!

People Search
I've never been happy with people search engines. They just are not deep enough, and if they were, I supposed I'd be unhappy for another reason – our society is not ready for that level of access/transparency. In any case, Web Worker Daily seems to agree that most people…
I’ve never been happy with people search engines. They just are not deep enough, and if they were, I supposed I’d be unhappy for another reason – our society is not ready for that level of access/transparency. In any case, Web Worker Daily seems to agree that most people search engines are, well, not so great. They put a bunch through some testing here.

Google and Being Social
A note to myself that this is worth digging into: Google Shared Stuff. I can't wait to write more about the impact Facebook and the impending issues of opening up the social graph will have on both Google and the world writ large….
