Although it may be starting to lose its luster among website publishers, I would like to think that there are still tons of sites which relied on it to earn some extra bucks.  Anyway, the Inside AdSense blog just announced that AdSense publishers will now have access to Google-certified ad network.

Both the European Commission and U.S. Dept. of Justice have approved the deal which has been on the table for quite some time now.

According to reMail founder Gabor Cselle , Google acquired reMail and that he will be joining Google as a Product Manager on the Gmail team.

Search Engines News SEO News Arnold Zafra Arnold Zafra Wed, 17 Feb 2010 09:15:32 GMT http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=28344 Google seemed to have quietly implemented MySpace Real-Time Search API just now. The announcement was actually made by MySpace so I checked out the Official Google Blog if there was any update about this but didn't find any.  Probably because it's too early or maybe Google just don't want to make a big fuzz about this? Anyway, the MySpace folks are pretty much excited about it nonetheless. In fact, Search Engines News SEO News Arnold Zafra Arnold Zafra Tue, 16 Feb 2010 22:28:13 GMT http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=28319 BBC is running a report about Google admitting to them that Google Buzz is sort of a half-baked product since it did not go through massive testing prior to release. The report was quite surprising not really because of the testing flaws but because of Google admitting it. Anyway, according to the report, Search Engines News SEO News Arnold Zafra Arnold Zafra Tue, 16 Feb 2010 15:05:10 GMT http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=28254 The Google Buzz folks must have heard or read  all the noise about  Buzz kills that they are now answering some of these.  So Google a nnounced three tweaks that it hopes to address some of the major concerns of the millions of Gmail users who jumped into the buzz hype.   First of these tweaks is about auto-following. So instead of making you automatically follow people in your Gmail contacts, Google will instead give you a chance to select only those you want to follow.

This could probably has grown to more than that figure by now. Interestingly, the sudden surge of users happened even with the prophecy of doom coming from critics and analysts. Google Buzz is a buzz kill, too noisy, too disorganized ' yada yada yada.

If you check out Google Maps right now, you can see the familiar New Labs Icon. Clicking that icon will bring up the Google Maps Lab currently containing 9 experimental features.

According to the Gmail Blog , more than 9 million posts and comments have been created as millions started to jump into the latest social craze two days after it was launched. Looks like Google made a hit with Google Buzz. The Google folks must be smiling right now as they might have really done something good in Google Buzz. But then, Search Engines News SEO News Arnold Zafra Arnold Zafra Fri, 12 Feb 2010 03:20:22 GMT http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=28183 Google just put a dot to  its desire to become part of the social sphere with its latest acquisition - the social search engine founded by some ex-Googlers called Aardvark . Although both companies have not yet issued an official statement about the deal, the buyout was confirmed through an email sent by Aardvark CEO Max Ventilla to TechCrunch confirming that indeed, Google has bought their company.

I would have to say that Google did a pretty fast job of activating the mobile version rather than the web version of Google Buzz. So, the first thing I checked was the mobile web app at buzz.google.com and there it was a simple interface with some nifty features that you can play around with. The main screen contains two boxes of links.

Looks like this is what drove members of the group Free Art & Technology (FAT) when they've attached a GPS device to the Street View car containing Google's camera used for photographing streets in Berlin. So, now with the use of Google Maps, the group were able to track down the whereabouts of the Google Street View car in real-time .
