GigaOm on Google and its video problem…

Google’s giving bikes out to employees, G B’scoped says. What, the Segway isn’t enough?

With respect, I disagree with #6 here. See this post.

Man, I wish I was at etech. I am missing it for the first time in three years. A roundup

More Google focus on mobile…and mobile ads are hot

Microsoft has a new search head…. (more)

Oh, via SEL, Timesearch. I love the concept.

More Panama good news.

So Yahoo is feeling generous, unlimited mail storage, TechCrunch reports

Wow, Best Buy bought my ISP. Huh.

Worth the Read

By - March 21, 2007

Wow, a lot in the feeds today. What I found particularly worthy:

Digesting Google’s PPA ads, from TechCrunch. I am still digesting. This is good analysis. I am ambivalent about the new text link ad unit, so is Mike. “They’ve crossed a hazy ethical line here” he says. The NYT covers it but does not dwell on the link ad unit.

Yahoo, Google Revs are similiar from SEW. Yahoo is in no way out of this game. It’s two ends to the middle, CPA/C to CPM.

Scoble continues to beat on his old employer’s search results.

Kedrosky is a robot spammer, Google says! Slow down, Paul!



is Web 2.0 Over?
from Venturebeat. Analysis of venture funding.

Google unveils the Plus Box. Click on the “plus sign” and you get more data. Innaresting.

The Kinderstart case is dismissed, Matt reports. Earlier coverage.

Where the ad growth is, from Lost Remote. Er…surprised?

Clarification from Google on net neutrality via GigaOm. This is not an easy issue to clarify…

Digg on Google clarifying its plan with phones. No hardware, folks.

More Bits of Tid

By - March 11, 2007

So much happening.

I am in Austin for SXSW, a wonderful group of people are here. I have a few posts brewing but for now….

On to the tidbits:

- If you have Vista (and I have more to say about that soon) Microsoft is starting to roll out non browser-based search integrations. It’s also working on dealing with the competitive threat of Google Apps.

- Ask keeps pluggin’ away with innovations, this time in local search.

- You all know I dislike the Patriot Act. I am not alone. Just as we all expected, the powers of the Patriot act proved too much to resist, the FBI has been caught and called out for putting on Patriot’s secrecy ring….my precious! A related video is worth a view.

- Good to see the remixing trend getting more support….this time from Battlestar Galactica.

- Everyone’s happy to work at Google? Not this guy.

- Matt Cutts goes on the record saying Google isn’t inclined to trap user data. Watch this space.
