Google Launches Adwords Blog for Latin America
Mobile Search Use - your input requested
How do you use your mobile... what kind of searches, which applications, do you have a preference for apps based on what you are doing, how often?
I would like to hear about how you are using mobile search. No survey (that presumes I actually know what questions to ask you). Just free flowing email to me. If you can grab a screen shot of your app, send that along. When I have a bunch of input, I'll post on it. (I know the audience here is a bit skewed).
Yahoo Search Creative Stuck
Yahoo! ad approval process stuck. New ads will not go live.
Yahoo!... Microsoft... Social, Search, Media, Software...
Not even thinly veiled, this reference to Google demonstrates Microsoft's inability to beat Google solo. Even long term, MS is not culturally in the right position to play the way Google does. They need Yahoo!. Not just the media prowess and social knowledge. More than anything, they need the culture.
Baidu is going abroad --to Japan
The truth is, there is, or at least will be, enough market out there for 2 or 3 really big search engines. The industry, on a global basis is still very nascent. Whether it is geo-based or vertically based, as the industry grows, there will be a number of opportunities for several large players to split the pie.
Does search make us more efficient, or just more independent?
...the comScore study: 29 days, 12 searches, 22 travel websites and 2.5 visits to the website of the ultimate purchase.
Yahoo! Mobile Widgets Challenge Google Platform
This week at the consumer electronics show, Yahoo made a direct chellenge to Google’s Android open plantform for developers. I have been a proponent of Yahoo’s strategy to develop content and applications vs. Googles approach to an open platform that relies on developers. It appears that Yahoo is taking a very comprehensive approach. Yahoo has an open platform for the development of mobile widgets that can be load from the mobile Go 3.0 (new release).

Peruse the numbers released by comScore this month, and it becomes evident that in terms of unique visitors internationally, Google is growing as fast as the internet itself. In France, Germany, Canada, and Japan the number of unique visitors to Google are growing at 1-2%, or even shrinking 1%. Now, when you already have 90% of the unique visitors, such as in the UK, your growth is tied to the market, and even at great risk of going counter to the market.
