| | Nokia Claims Google Offers Nothing New 2007-12-10 08:53:00 Nokia says it was far ahead of Google on new cellphone technologyWe've seen an announcement," Nokia's chief executive, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, said with a spoonful of sarcasm. Conceptually, we could have made that announcement a long time ago.There are some very interesting things to glean from an article over at International Herald Tribune today. For instance, apparently Google was inviting select companies to join the OHA and did not extend and offer to Nokia. Also, the Nokia n95 has sold twice as much as the iPhone so far. Give it another 6 months, and that may all change. As far as their claims that the OHA really won't offer much in the way of new technologies, AndroidGuys thinks there is more up Google's sleeve than they are letting on. If Google did not 'invite' Nokia, then one has to ask, why would they not want to partner up with the world's largest phone company at least in some capacity? How much truth to those comments? Sour grapes?We're curious now. Who else | | Google struggles to keep its now rich-ass employees... 2007-12-09 23:52:00 Wow... Google is great. Im sure every successful business deals with this issue.

The best search engine, captured the online advertisement market with their popular AdSense program. Some really swear by AdSense while others hate it like anything. I am myself a big fan of Google and all the services they provide. As you may see this blog is moneytized only through Google AdSense. I was seeing a decrease in my earning from the last 2 weeks but I thought maybe people don't just click on the ads on my blog. But then I checked my blog's stats on MyBlogLog and what I observed left me shocked. It shows 199 people have clicked on the Ads yesterday and 183 have clicked on them the day before. But the AdSense stats show that I have got only 5 clicks in the last 7 days. This can definitely not be the case of invalid clicks. If it would be, they should have banned my account by now. This keeps me thinking is Google so much hungry that they are cheating their AdSense Publishers.

I thought everyone had heard of Google Earth, but I was talking to some folks recently who'd never heard it! I like the program so much that I wanted to be sure to mention it.The family has used it countless times. My kids are geography experts now. I have used it to map our travels, and my husband likes to look at air bases around the world. It is truly an amazing program.You can find anywhere in the world (even your property). I love looking at other countries and cities, like the city of Amsterdam in Holland with its gorgeous canal system, and the Thames in London.Google Earth has many other features besides looking at the earth's surface. You can skew your view to look across (it's a little cheesy looking because it's computer generated, but the Grand Canyon and Rocky Mountains still looked neat). You can zoom all the way out and spin the earth with your mouse cursor (fun).

Google wants to remember people that today in the evening between 8.00 pm and 8.05 pm (GMT+1) We all should switch the light off to save some energy and so save the environment.The idea is not bad to get people to thing about their energy consumption and the environment but the question is if it is really good - because many electrical tools need more energy by turning on than they would need in 5 minutes running. And the next question is - what will happen if really thousands of people in a town will turn off the energy and after 5 minutes on at the same time?Nobody knows.... we will know it - in about 6 hours....

Gmail has had its own chat service since February 2006, but now Gmail users will be able to connect to AIM through a drop-down menu on the Gmail Web page, Google said. Gmail users can sign into [...] | | Google integra AIM en Gmail 2007-12-05 04:54:00 Google ha integrado el popular servicio de mensajería instantánea AIM de AOL en su cliente de correo electrónico basado en Web Gmail.Gmail tiene su propio servicio de mensajería instantánea (IM) y chat desde febrero de 2006, pero a partir de ahora los usuarios de este cliente de correo electrónico podrán también autenticarse y conectarse al servicio AIM de AOL a través de un menú desplegable que Google incluirá en la página Web de Gmail. Además, los contactos del usuario en AIM y el chat Gmail aparecerán sobre el mismo menú.A partir de ahora, por ejemplo, los usuarios que estén utilizando Gmail, podrán ver si las personas a las que dirigen correos electrónicos están disponibles para una conversación de chat en AIM.Aunque el acceso a AIM sólo estará disponible de momento en la versión en inglés de Gmail, Google asegura que pronto se extenderá a las versiones de su cliente IM en otros idiomas.Escrito por Marta Cabanillas, PC WORLD digital | | El iPhone lidera la lista de búsquedas en Google en 2007 2007-12-05 04:35:00 La tecnología y el entretenimiento acapararon las búsquedas de Google en 2007, con el iPhone siendo el término que más creció en búsquedas en Estados Unidos, según una lista publicada por la empresa."iPhone, por supuesto, es una palabra que muy poca gente tecleó en un buscador en 2006", dijo Marissa Mayer, de Google. "No existía". Apple puso a la venta el iPhone - un dispositivo con teléfono móvil, reproductor de música y vídeo y navegador de Internet - en Estados Unidos el pasado verano. Cuatro redes sociales llegaron al top 10, incluyendo Webkinz, que se hizo con el segundo puesto. Webkinz es una página de animales de peluche virtuales, que los usuarios pueden registrar para jugar en la Red.La página de noticias sobre famosos TMZ quedó tercera, seguida de los transformers. Los transformers son juguetes muy populares que cambian su forma, por ejemplo de coches a robots extraterrestres, y han pasado por un boom debido a la película de éxito "Transformers", de 2007."Ha | | Is this part of Google's impression fraud filter? 2007-12-05 01:37:51 This morning I was testing out a few keywords on Google.co.uk to see what my competitors were up to.
The best way to see your live advert (and those of your competitors) is by using Google’s Ad Preview Tool, which allows you to view the SERPs without your search being counted as an impression.
Sometimes, however, I just do it the old fashioned way.
I entered a few different versions of a similar phrase and on my third try got this Google 403 Error:
“We’re sorry but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users we can’t process your request right now”. And then of course the usual CAPTCHA to prove my searches were coming from a human.
After a bit of research it seems that this 403 error has popped up for a few people and for a variety of different reasons. In this case it seems to be aimed at preventing impression fraud.
Any thoughts?
