Just came across this:

As promised, Google released the Android SDK for gPhone-like devices today. Programmers can use it to immediately begin development of native programs that will run on Open Handset Alliance hardware. In a surprise move, however, the native programming interface is Java.

Heather told us about:

Gmail has nearly doubled the amount of email that you can store on a free account. How does this compare to what you have now?

Thanks Amber, for pointing out:

Days after making waves in the nascent social networking pond with its OpenSocial initiative, Google just cannonballed into the much larger world of mobile phones. Today Google announced the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of over 30 technology and mobile companies, and Android, an open source software stack for mobile devices. A developer SDK for Android will be available on November 12th, and phones (gPhones?) that conform to the Android standard are expected in the second half of 2008.

除了Google之外，市场上总共有1千5百多个搜索引擎。但这些琐琐碎碎的搜索器加起来也撼动不了Google现在的地位。
根据comScore 8月份的调查，单单在八月份在全球就有61百万次搜索。这个调查也发现目前全球有750百万网民在15岁以上也是占了95%的网民人口。平均每个网名使用了80次搜索。
Google在这次调查中占了370亿 的搜索次数，而跟着的雅虎只有85亿，Google足足多了4.5倍！当我们都认为排在之后的应该是微软的Live Search了吧。但是这次却不是的！是百度以33亿超越了微软的22亿。在750网民中，有300百万是亚洲网民。百度之所以能超越微软，这也是因为广大的中国市场了。还是百度比较了解中文网站吧。
第五名的是韩国搜索引擎Naver。而第六名的也蛮让人惊讶的竟然ebay也榜上有名。最近有分析师说Google的股价将有望达到2000美金。哇，到时公司总值应该会超越微软了吧。

In the last few months I’ve seen more and more bloggers getting excited about Stumbleupon and adding “stumble” buttons to their posts in order to encourage their visitors to stumble their latest entries.
While it’s nice to see your traffic stats go up I’ve often wondered if there’s any value to traffic from sites like Stumbleupon.
On Thursday evening I spent some time adding several of the recent posts on Odd Planet to Thoof. The posts that I’ve added to Thoof in the past have always brought in new traffic to my sites.
What’s more, the people who’ve decided to visit one of my sites after seeing the posts summary on Thoof have often taken the time to stop and leave a comment on the post. Some have also enjoyed the posts enough to add them to Digg, StumbleUpon and other social bookmark sites.
The great thing about Digg, Thoof and other […]

Just came across this:

Six new Cities added to Google Maps Street View in Google Maps: Chicago, Portland, Pittsburgh, Phoenix, Tucson and Philadelphia. Images in Phoenix, Tucson and parts of Chicago are all in high resolution. They introduced the option to look up at tall buildings in most new cities like the Sears Tower in Chicago.

Filed under: Wearables

Although Googling youself is a time-honored pastime, we’re not certain broadcasting the results is going to get you anywhere except home alone on a Saturday night — but that might change if German designer Markus Kison’s DIY Google results ring ever catches on. The (enormous) ring eschews all those tacky rocks for a multi-line LCD, which is programmed to display the number of hits Google returns for a particular name. According to Kison, “in a post information society” it’s not the size of your ice, but rather “the attention you get from the world’s people that counts,” and his ring merely updates traditional jewelry to reflect that. An interesting idea, but it certainly sounds like Markus doesn’t know anyone named John Smith.

Vandaag is te lezen op
computerworld.com dat Google weer een bedrijf uit de mobiele software wereld heeft
overgenomen. Het gaat nu over het bedrijf JaiKu waarmee je in staat bent om kleine
berichtjes (jaikus) naar je ‘peers’ toe kunt schieten en kunt browsen. Een soort
SMS/IM/Sticky Notes mixup op je mobiel dus. Ander nieuws van mobiele Google is het
gerucht dat er geen Google Phone gaat komen maar dat er dit jaar een mobiel
operating system (linux
based?) wordt gelanceerd.
