<title>Google Site Search gets more demanding</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=13206</link>
<description>Customers today demand speed. Waiting around is so, well, yesterday - as so many of the things we used to have to wait for are now at our fingertips online. We can read up to the minute news , get directions , and find the answers to our most pressing questions simply by entering them into a search box. For a business running their own website, this means that visitors who turn to search expect to have access to the newest products, pages and announcements a site has to offer.</description>

<title>Update: Letters to the Next President project</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=13177</link>
<description>When I introduced the Letters to the Next President writing project last month, 962 middle and high school students had published their letters. Since then, thousands of new letters have been written and published (there are now more than 5,200 total). High school juniors and seniors from rural Alaska have voiced their concerns about gas prices and paying for college. Ninth and tenth graders from Brooklyn, NY have written persuasive pieces on war and global warming.</description>

<title>Ending our agreement with Yahoo!</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=13087</link>
<description>In June we announced an advertising agreement with Yahoo! that gave Yahoo! the option of using Google to provide ads on its websites (and its publisher partners' sites) in the U.S. and Canada. At the same time, both companies agreed to delay implementation of the agreement to give regulators the chance to review it. While this wasn't legally necessary, we thought it was the right thing to do because Google and Yahoo!</description>

<title>Accessible View: An ARIA for web search</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=12869</link>
<description>From time to time, our own T.V. Raman shares his tips on how to use Google from his perspective as a technologist who cannot see - tips that sighted people, among others, may also find useful. In the spirit of a recent post discussing some of our search experiments, last week we launched an opt-in search experiment we're calling Accessible View , that makes it easy to navigate search results using only the keyboard. Like many of our recent accessibility-related enhancements,</description>

<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=12770</link>
<description>When we launched Google Chrome two months ago, the response was overwhelmingly positive. We got all sorts of support and encouragement from many users, but we also got the most valuable resource we could ask for: feedback! Because of the variety of software and hardware configurations that exist "in the wild," users were able to find a few issues that we hadn't come across. In particular,</description>

<title>What we learned from 1 million businesses in the cloud</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=12661</link>
<description>The reliability of cloud computing has been a hot topic recently, partly because glitches in the cloud don't happen behind closed doors as with traditional on-premises solutions for businesses. Instead, when a small number of cloud computing users have problems, it makes headlines. As with most things at Google, we are fanatical about measuring the availability of Gmail, and we thought it best to simply share our reliability metrics,</description>

<description>It was exactly two years ago at the EDUCAUSE conference that we first announced our free Google Apps offering for educational institutions. We've kept pretty busy in that time, working closely with thousands of schools to reach 2.5 million students, staff, and faculty actively using Google Apps on campuses across the globe.

<title>Video your vote on Election Day</title>

<description>If you've been paying even passing attention to the 2008 election, you know that without a doubt this is the most documented election in history. On YouTube, average citizens have posted millions of videos chronicling their experiences and opinions about the 2008 election. Never before has the campaign trail been sliced, diced, clipped, mashed-up, and exposed in so many ways &#226;&#128;" and never before have voters been the ones in control of the content.</description>

<description>In less than two weeks, every vote will count as Americans decide who will become the next U.S. president. During the last national election in 2004, 20 percent of registered voters who didn't make it to the polls said that they were "too busy" or had conflicting work schedules ( 2004 U.S. Census ). The Vote Hour is an independent,</description>

<title>Information poverty</title>

<description>Today is Blog Action Day , an annual event that rallies blogs around the world to post about a common cause. This year's issue up for discussion is poverty, so we wanted to take a look at the relationship between access to information and social and economic development. The right information at the right time in the hands of people has enormous power. As someone who works for Google,</description>

<description>Even before we introduced Google Earth back in 2005 , the team had long dreamed of being able to carry the Earth around in your pocket. Well, today that dream becomes a reality as we introduce Google Earth for iPhone and iPod touch. With just a swipe of your finger you can fly from Peoria to Paris to Papua New Guinea, or anywhere in between. It may be small, but it brings all the power of Google Earth to the palm of your hand,</description>

Ellen's students are participating in Letters to the Next President: Writing Our Future , an online writing and publishing project sponsored by Google and the National Writing Project .

<description>When I moved to the Bay Area last year, everything was new to me. I didn't know Los Altos from Los Gatos, good eateries in my neighborhood, or how to get to where I wanted to go. Whether you're moving to a new area, traveling to a new place, or simply exploring a new part of town, this may sound familiar to a lot of people. There's a simple solution: turn to Google Maps to find local information .</description>

While a few lucky citizens were able to ask the candidates questions directly, millions of others used Google to find their answers. Similar to last Thursday, people sought to understand the meaning of several words mentioned in the debate: morass , commodity , junket , cynicism , and cronyism to name a few.</description>

<description>We've just posted the first three videos in the Google Technology Roundtable Series . Each one is a discussion with senior Google researchers and technologists about one of our most significant achievements. We use a talk show format, where I lead a discussion on the technology. While the videos are intended for a reasonably technical audience, I think they may be interesting to many as an overview of the key challenges and ideas underlying Google's systems.</description>

What's everybody else writing about? Our Blog Search team thought this was an interesting enough question to look into. What we found was a massive mix: entertaining items about celebrities, personal perspectives on political figures, cutting-edge (and sometimes unverified) news stories,</description>

<title>2001: A search odyssey</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=11584</link>
<description>Now that we're a decade old, we figured we're long overdue for some spring cleaning. We started digging around our basement and found all kinds of junk: old Swedish fish , pigeon poop , Klingon translation books. Amazingly enough, hidden in a corner beneath Larry's and Sergey's original lab coats, we found a vintage search index in mint condition. We dusted it off and took it for a spin, gobsmacked to see how different the web was in early 2001.</description>

<description>As an Internet company, Google is an active participant in policy debates surrounding information access, technology and energy. Because our company has a great diversity of people and opinions - Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals, all religions and no religion, straight and gay - we do not generally take a position on issues outside of our field, especially not social issues. So when Proposition 8 appeared on the California ballot,</description>

We heard the message loud and clear and decided that the Google Desktop 5.8 for Windows release would be based entirely on performance. In true Google fashion, we took a data-driven approach: Measure, then analyze, fix the most important issues and lowest hanging fruit, then rinse, lather and repeat. First,</description>

<title>Non-profit gives itself a Google makeover</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10364</link>
<description>Back in May, we introduced a site called Google for Non-Profits , to showcase the tools organizations can use to raise funds and collaborate easily and efficiently. These tools, we hoped, would enable non-profits to focus less on creaky email systems or lost documents - and more on their missions. For at least one non-profit, this was old news. Months before we unveiled our non-profit site, Marianne Clauw, who chairs CASA Washtenaw ,</description>

<title>Strengthening the study of computer science</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10333</link>
<description>At a time when more and more digital technologies are becoming indispensable to millions of people, the field of computer science (CS) is in trouble. Enrollment and retention of CS students, particularly those historically underrepresented in the field (women, African-Americans, Native-Americans, and Hispanics) has declined sharply. According to the Computing Research Association , CS enrollment in the U.S. was at its peak in 2000, with 15,958 undergrads. By 2006,</description>

<title>Search experiments, large and small</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=10287</link>
<description>In my previous post , I described the components of your web search experience and the principles behind creating a great search experience. There are complex algorithms underlying simple features such as spelling correction and the two line snippets that describe each search result. We figure out what works by running experiments - tiny tests for a small number of users which help us determine whether that feature helps or hurts. Experimentation is a very powerful tool,</description>

<title>Reinventing the wheel</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=9696</link>
<description>About a month ago, we found out that our team, along with all of Offline Ads, would be moving from our comfortable 4th floor cubicles in New York City all the way up to the comparatively uninhabited 6th floor. It was definitely a change of pace from the Manhattan-esque bustle of our old space to a quieter, more Brooklyn-esque feel. So the question arose: what happens when you drop an entire floor's worth of Googlers into a new office?</description>

<title>Keeping up with the Summer Games</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=9632</link>
<description>As we mark the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Summer Games, I can't help but remember eight years ago, when I competed on the U.S. cycling team. Even though I didn't walk away with any medals then, training and competing involved a herculean effort - but that pales in comparison to what we're unveiling today. I'm happy to present the 2008 Summer Games on Google , a site that features a number of our products to help you stay updated on Summer Games happenings.</description>

<title>Seeing New Orleans through Street View</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=9534</link>
<description>Louisiana is a place with heart and soul, a place where culture lives in the streets, in the rhythm of our music and in the flavors of our unique cuisine. I recently had the opportunity to visit the Googleplex and I expressed my interest in seeing Street View come to Louisiana, so I'm excited to see the launch of Street View imagery for Greater New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Shreveport. This remarkable tool allows us to share with the world life as we see it,</description>

When we launched Google Webmaster Tools in 2006, the goal was to reach as many webmasters as possible in order to help them create more search engine-friendly sites.

<title>Knol is open to everyone</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=9003</link>
<description>A few months ago we announced that we were testing a new product called Knol . Knols are authoritative articles about specific topics, written by people who know about those subjects. Today, we're making Knol available to everyone. The web contains vast amounts of information, but not everything worth knowing is on the web. An enormous amount of information resides in people's heads : millions of people know useful things and billions more could benefit from that knowledge.</description>

The goal of the Fremont Fair "Make it Better" Project was to engage the Seattle community in an active discussion around improving our world. This is the second year we've partnered with Solid Ground to participate in the fair,</description>

He introduced various teams within "Quality" (as we like to call the group) including Core Ranking, International Search, User Interfaces, Evaluation, Webspam, and other teams. In this post, I want to tell you more about one of these: the Core Ranking team. Let me introduce myself. My name is Amit Singhal.</description>

<title>Tour the Tour de France with Street View</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=8304</link>
<description>Posted by Stephen Chau, Product Manager Today marks the beginning of one of my favorite summer events: the Tour de France. I'm always amazed when I hear about the long, steep climbs through mountains or the blistering speeds of the cyclists as they pass through the French countryside. But since most of us can't head over there to watch it in person, we're giving you the next best thing: Street View of the 2008 Tour de France route. Head to google.</description>

<description>Posted by Marissa Mayer, VP Search Products &amp; User Experience Late one night in the summer of 2000, I found myself answering user support emails in response to two new features we had just released, Advanced Search and Preferences (at the time catchily called "Language, Display, and Filtering Options" :)). Busy crafting answers about how to set Safesearch or change the number of results offered by default, I worked my way through the email queue.</description>
