Yahoo Renews With Google, Changes Results
After months of speculation, Yahoo announced today that it has renewed its relationship to use Google's results as part of its search listings. In addition, Yahoo made a substantial change to end its historic barrier between human-powered and crawler-based search results.

Google grows up
Success of popular search engine could threaten its alliance with Yahoo
The announcement, though subtle, provided a window into the increasingly complex alliance between the two Silicon Valley Internet companies. Merely an upstart when its partnership with Yahoo was unveiled two years ago, Google is now viewed as a major rival because its stand-alone Web site has become wildly popular, analysts said.

Google explains new page rankings
Some sanity returned to Google 's page rankings last week, and the only damage incurred appears to be a few bruised egos. So we were surprised when Wired adopted a note of faux outrage (hey! that's our job) in its coverage of the new index. "Geeks Aghast"! reported Paul Boutin: "The inevitable backlash finally appears to have hit the world's most popular search engine." An anonymous poster cited by the report declares that PigeonRank™" ... is dead."

Visual Basic Google API Rank Checker Program
I was quite pleased to find Brett's excellent program. Unfortunately, it requires PERL, which I don't have on my Windows-based PC. I wanted to know if there was a way to do something like this in Windows from Visual Basic, without requiring Visual Studios .NET (expensive!)

Perspective: Who needs editors anyway?
The media navel-gazing over Google's News is getting to be a bit much. Ever since the Google News site launched last month, some media types have worked up a sweat over whether the robot-generated news page means the end of editors. Who could imagine that you don't need an editor to select the top stories of the moment? "No humans were harmed or even used in the creation of this page," boasts Google. In media circles, that boast is pure heresy. It's just not right, editors exclaim. "Where's the news judgment?" some of them wonder.

Working the web: Google
Four years ago, when I started recommending Google, people thought I was mad. Fortunately, the conversion time puts other movements or religions to shame. If you can just get someone to type a word into Google's search box then, within a tenth of a second, they are usually convinced. Right from the time it was a research project, at google.stanford.edu, Google has been supreme at delivering great results with one-and two-word searches.

Google Stats mal anders
Interessant war für mich einzig die Qauntität der Begriffe. Nicht uninteressant fand ich beispielsweise, das Paris mit 18,100,000 Treffern Frankfurt in den Schatten stellt. Erwähnenswert ist das Google.fr etwa 100 Einträge mehr zu Paris findet. Auch andere europäische Städe erreichen einige Hits. Die grossen amerikanischen Metropolen können erstaulicherweise nicht mithalten. Traurig sind die 300,000 Berliner Treffer, die von Kabul locker um das dreifache (1,020,000) überboten werden. So dürfte der Mittelpunkt der Welt also an der Seine gelegen sein. Kommen wir zu makaberen Themen, in denen ich mehr Treffer vermutete und fand. So kann Microsoft mit 33,100,000 Treffern den englischen Tod (27,600,000) an Interesse überbieten. Auch die Idee dieses durch die schönste Nebensache der Welt zu überbieten ging mit 61,600,000 für Sex auf. Nun wurde es etwas schwerer Argumente für mehr Hits zu finden. Das allmächtige Web (186,000,000) welches auf ein Net (195,000,000) begründet ist half hier weiter. Ab hier wurde es haarig, aber um es vorweg zu nehmen auch langweilig. In den Basic des englischen Satzbaus fand ich das Wort to. Dieses unschweibare Gebilde bringt in den Milliardenbereich bei etwa 1,860,000,000 Hits. DerBärwillmehr
"Hamburg"dürfte mit 5,7 Mio in D führen... "New York" bringts zwar nur auf 6,4 Mio. "York" alleine aber auf 42 Mio. "Life" mit 84 Mio "Death" 27 Mio. "Good" mit 94 Mio "Bad" mit 34 Mio. "Windows" mit 52 Mio. "Linux" mit 49 Mio. "George W. Bush" 1,4 Mio "Britney Spears" 1,2 Mio "Madonna" und "Beatles" (jeweils 2,2 Mio.) "Elvis" ist auch im Internet der King mit 3,3 Mio. "God" mit 36.8 Mio. "the" mit 'ungefähr 2,900,000,000 Mio.' "Book" 71.1 Mio. "Computer" 64.5 Mio. stats von ccb usern

Stupid Google Tricks
By now, your friends have shown you the Google tricks, like typing "Go to Hell" in Google and laughing at the results. (Actually, that trick doesn't work any more - it used to show a link to Microsoft.com. Yes, Microsoft is funny... I guess.) Well, we've done some trickery of our own. But for this, we used images.google.com, Google's image search engine, to find humorous stuff that probably isn't all that funny if you think about it for a second. Hey, it's the best we've got, so read it and like it.
