[Unlimited Jargon] Can the web grow too fast?: Were already short of IP addresses, there are lots of websites out there that haven't been updated for years and lots of blogs with nothing in them. Google, Yahoo and other search engines assure us that they will be able to handle it all. They will be the masters of the virtual world. But surely growing this fast, with this increased demand on electricity, servers and so on is going to pop?

[Got Ads? - Google AdWords and Overture PPC] Is Google too dependent on mortgages?: This graph from searchnewz puts the Fathom Online keyword pricing survey into perspective. The red line represents the cost of mortgage related keywords, and they are at least twice as expensive as any other category. I wonder how much of Google's and Yahoo's recent quarterly profits were directly from mortgage ads. I'd guess at least 35%.

[Virtual Grub Street] EliteBar Removal Tool Updates to 1.3.0!!!!!: Actually some software like Spybot v.1.3, CWShredder v.2.12, Noadware,Adaware v.6, SpyNuker 2004 and SBC Yahoo! Anti-spy have no success in deleting this very frustrating malware. These programs find and delete it, but it keeps coming back since this new variant is very difficult to remove from the

[23rd World] Google’s Local Business Center Tool: To test it out, I used my gmail login for my account information, which worked. I then entered a client’s business name and address, which quickly took me to an existing listing, and upon my confirmation, to a google map depicting the office’s exact location. This frightened me a little, because it was so easy and I could just imagine all the ficticious entries people could make. But Google thought of that and I was relieved to see that a pin number would me mailed to the address I entered for verification.

Google Blog: When we launched Google Q&A, we told you it was just the beginning. Today marks the start of the Google Q&A world tour -- we're kicking off with the UK (who's the prime minister again?), Ireland (what's the population of Dublin?), Canada (how many people live there?), Australia (what's the capital?), and New Zealand (how big is it, anyway?). So now I can't say it's still just the beginning, but it's still very early. We're putting together a lot of new information like this to help you get the quickest possible answers to all your questions, so keep checking back for more.

google.dirson.com - noticias de google en español: Entre ellos, la competencia de Yahoo! y Microsoft (de este último esperan grandes inversiones en su buscador, y además Enrique Dans comenta un poco más sobre el tema), el riesgo de no desarrollar productos innovadores, una hipotética reducción de los gastos en publicidad de las empresas, la aparición de documentos en formato propietario (en los cuales es más complicado buscar información), nuevas tecnologías que bloqueen su publicidad (algunas ya existen), problemas con la propiedad intelectual sobre sus desarrollos, el fraude en los clicks, la pérdida de trabajadores tan importantes como Sergey Brin y Larry Page, fallos técnicos en los datacenters o problemas en la visualización de los servicios de Google con dispositivos móviles.

Om Malik’s Broadband Blog » How Yahoo Got Its Mojo Back: After sitting on its haunches for so long, and letting google walk away with the AdSense dollars, Yahoo’s Overture division is finally getting its act together and rolling out its small-publisher service. By buying Flickr earlier this month and OddPost last year, Yahoo has bought into the open-standards, web services business model, something which has gotten it much love from the bloggers who apparently care too much about this type of stuff. Adding RSS and blogs to My Yahoo, makes them cooler than the other two - MSN and Google. In an effort to best Google, the company has upped its free email storage to one gigabyte.

  Google, Yahoo, MSN Unite On Support For Nofollow Attribute For Links: 2) As for PageRank calculations, it's important to remember that PageRank is a pure popularity score (other search engines have similar scoring mechanisms, just not catchy names other than Yahoo's Web Rank). The nofollow attribute means that a link will not be counted as a "vote" in this popularity contest. That can have an impact on ranking, in cases where the impact of other factors beyond pure popularity come into play.

  Google & Yahoo Plan Merger; Brin & Page To Depart: An amazing number of details have yet to be worked out. We joked about a GooHoo site before, but that's actually one of the names being considered. Many within Google are arguing that there's no way the company name -- a synonym to some for search -- can be dropped. The leading compromise is that the company itself will be called Google-Yahoo, while the search site will be called Yahoo Google.
