 | | However, Google provides mechanisms for requesting that caching be disabled (which Google respects; it also honors the robots.txt file which is another mechanism that allows operators of a website to request that part or all of their site not be included in search engine results). | | | Google is looking for software engineers to join them in collaborative development on the Firefox browser. | | | Google's services are run on several server farms, each consisting of many thousand low-cost commodity computers running stripped-down versions of Linux. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Technology Technology John Battelle: All the world's a platform |
| | Google's mission of organising the world's information and making it accessible sets the company up to deliver every possible service that might live on top of a computing platform - from mundane applications such as word processing and spreadsheets to more futuristic services such as video on demand, personal media storage or distance learning. | | | According to many leading-edge computer scientists and theorists, the web is in the process of becoming the next great computing platform - the successor to Microsoft Windows, owned by no one but used by everyone. | | | The first years of Google's rise have taught us that if something is of value, it needs to be in Google's index. |

| | Glenbrook Opinion : Meet the Open Service Platforms |
| | Platforms in the software business are an old concept. | | | The Google story is, of course, all about online search at a scale that is almost unimaginable—3 billion indexed pages, over 200 million queries per day, and roughly 75 million unique users per month. | | | What you might not know is that for the last year Google has been experimenting with a callable service interface to a subset of its functionality. |

| | Arnold: The Google Legacy (ebook) |
| | Google's computing platform -- named the Googleplex by Arnold after the name given by the company to its Mountain View headquarters complex -- is a better (faster, cheaper and simpler to operate) computer processor and operating system than systems now available from competitors. | | | Technically, Google is conceptually closer to IBM (at one time a hardware and software company) than it is to Microsoft (primarily a software company) or Yahoo! | | | Google is, like IBM, a company that owes its existence to both hardware and software. |

| | Going back to Google's focus on the user experience, we feel that Blogger is just a cool technology that a lot of our users would be interested in. | | | Google still views search as a massive problem to solve and something that will really help users across the world get more information quickly. | | | The reason people come back to Google every day -- and there are some 70-plus million users a month across the globe who come to Google -- is that we offer them non-paid, relevant information, both quickly and totally objectively. |

| | Google could analyze its search logs to see which sites in the Blogger.com network are coming up for particular queries. | | | Google doesn't need to purchase a weblog company to better understand weblogs any more than it needs to purchase a web hosting company to better understand web sites, a home page building company to better understand home pages, a newspaper to better understand news sites or an online merchant to better understand merchant sites. | | | Along with many of its rivals, Google is poor at indexing weblogs, which can change more rapidly than it can cope with. |

| | Australian users of the Jabber instant-messaging platform are watching closely as Google rolls out its Jabber-based Google Talk platform, concerned that existing users could be locked out. | | | "The openness of the Google Talk service to XMPP clients is just a start," Google said in a statement, adding it also wants to band servers together so they communicate easily in a process known as "federation". | | | Jabber Australia, which represents 1500 users, last week welcomed news that Google will use the open standard for its instant-messaging services but also expressed concern over how Google's technology will dovetail with existing Jabber servers. |

| | Google Desktop 2 isn't a radical departure from its earlier iteration, but its focus on personalization reflects an expansion of Google's offerings beyond finding information to creating and sharing it. | | | Assuming a significant user base for Google's IM network, independent developers may add enough cool features to Google's platform that other IM players decide they want in on the open-standard protocol. | | | Google Talk lays the groundwork for Google to move beyond the Internet and onto the telephone network. |

| | One algorithm is known publicly, the PageRank algorithm invented by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were graduate students in Computer Science at Stanford University. | | | Thus the PageRank Google calculates for real search results, while based on the patented algorithm, is much more complicated than I describe here, mostly to defeat the efforts of the Black Hat SEOs. | | | The success of the PageRank algorithm quickly propelled Google to the dominant position among the competing search engines. |

| | Silicon Valley Watcher--Tom Foremski on the business and culture of innovation |
| | If Google is hosting terabytes of video content created by amateur documentarians, Aunt Sallies and the like, the asking price for content might well be zero. | | | Far easier, given the kinds of businesses Google runs today, is one that taps into the Long Tail. | | | In that scenario, Google can apply what it knows how to do best and allow advertisers to place ads in certain kinds of content or to target certain viewerships. |

| | Scott Rosenberg's Links & Comment |
| | Wherever you place Google on this spectrum, there's no other way to read Google's latest moves than as part of a broad effort to bring users onto Google's platform so that, one day, they can be moved off Microsoft's. | | | For some reason, each time Google releases any software that is not browser-based -- whether it's Google Desktop, or Picasa, or the new Google Talk -- it has offered only a Windows version of the product. | | | Maybe Google feels that the Mac already offers a rich software environment for geeks (with good desktop search already built into the latest OSX) and Linux isn't a big enough desktop market. |

| | I know I'm old school, but this whole "web as platform" brow beating is more of a threat than a promise to me. It represents the end of computing as we know it and the start of something much darker. | | | One need only look at the way Google Desktop search results obliterate the line between desktop and web to see how web-as-platorm (or Google as Platform) can quickly blur the lines between "mine and yours". | | | I dont now whether anyone else has seen this, but today Google is the BEST at distributed computer applications and remote server management. |
