A while back we reported on Google Fiber, a program where Google will come to cities and install incredibly internet access. The only way to get that access, however, is for the cities citizens and government to specifically request it. Google’s provided two forms on a website for people to make these requests, but people [...more]
Google Maps is taking a note from Microsoft’s Photosynth and tapping into user photos to create street views of places that street view doesn’t reach. Google released a video of the new addition in action, and it looks almost exactly like Photosynth. It basically uses location data and algorithms to combine photographs into [...more]
A graduation day for some, an execution day for others. Ah, the digital circle of life. Google Labs recently did a bit of housecleaning in its more than 60 features, pulling up nearly as many as it pushed down to web oblivion. The six promoted? Search Autocomplete, which works much like the Google home page autocomplete Go To [...more]
I have yet to spend any real time with Google Buzz, and as such I’ve been looking for an easy way to turn it off. Like lots of email obsessives, I hate having a folder that has a ton of unread messages, so Buzz’s constant reminder that it exists has been a thorn in my [...more]
A couple of Harvard boys took a survey of typosquatting web sites — sites that take advantage of common misspellings — and found nearly 1 million sites taking advantage of the top 3,264. All those sites mean a whopping $497 million in ad revenue for Google. To the researchers, Google’s funding and ad [...more]
Another useful, mind bending app from Google Labs? Yeah, it’s expected at this point, but still very cool – a few days ago, Google introduced “Google Shopper,” a program that turns your Android handset into a mobile price scanner. You simply point your phone at the box art or barcode of something you’d like to [...more]
Web analytics company Compete.com has reported that Facebook has vaulted past Yahoo to become the second most visited site on the web behind Google. Until two years ago, Yahoo was the most popular site on the planet. It was overtaken by Google, and now, Facebook, falling to the third most visited site on the web. It’s always [...more]
What the hell is Google Buzz anyway? A BBS embedded in Gmail? A Twitter-killer? The death of Facebook? Well whatever it is, it’s got over 9 million posts and comments since its launch on Tuesday. That’s over 160,000 comments & posts per hour, and 200 posts per minute by mobile device. That’s incredible for a service [...more]
Google’s quest to become the swiss army knife of technology added a new blade on Wednesday – an announcement of a new push to bring lightning fast broadband to homes around the country. Their fiber optic service would bring gigabyte per second broadband to users at “competitive prices” with a user target of between 50,000 and [...more]
The same Flurry mobile analytics team who estimated that the Nexus One sold 20,000 units in its first week has come back with first month numbers – 80,000 units sold. At first glance, these numbers aren’t great. The iPhone sold around 600,000 units in their first month, and the Droid recently moved about 525,000. But this [...more]
