Google Adds Magazine Search in Google Book Search

Google announced an initiative to help bring more magazine archives and current magazines online, partnering with publishers to begin digitizing articles from New York Magazine, Popular Mechanics, and Ebony. Users can now search for magazines through Google Book Search and can read an article in full color and in its original context, just as they would in the printed magazine. They can also click on "Browse all issues" to view issues from across the decades. Over time, as Google scans more articles, users will see more and more magazines appear in Google Book Search results. Eventually, Google will begin blending magazine results into Google.com search results.

Yahoo! mocks Google Privacy Theatre

Analysis The privacy gap between Yahoo! and Google is greater than you think. It's not just that Yahoo! will anonymize user search data 6 months before Google anonymizes user search data. It's that Yahoo! anonymization is less nonsensical than Google anonymization.

SERVICE: Google releases Google Maps Mobile with Street View for Windows Mobile

Finally, after Google released Google Maps for Mobile with Street View before for Android, BlackBerry and iPhone, the Google team finally released Google Maps Mobile 2.3 for Windows Mobile and Nokia S60 as well. Street View lets you access street level imagery to help orient yourself when looking for places, businesses, or getting directions. Say you're going to meet with friends at an unfamiliar restaurant. Now you can search for it in Google Maps for mobile, click on "Street View", and see what the place and surrounding area look like. Similarly, say you need to get to a shop in a part of town you don't know. Find it using your phone, get directions to it, and see how to get there with full-screen panorama images of every step along the way.

Consumer Group Calls on Google to Match Yahoo!'s Data Retention Policy, Offer Additional...

Consumer Group Calls on Google to Match Yahoo!'s Data Retention Policy, Offer Additional Privacy Guarantees; Warns That Personal Data Remains on Search Companies' Servers SANTA MONICA, Calif., Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Internet giant Google must match new privacy measures announced by search rival Yahoo!, Consumer Watchdog said today, and called on both companies to enact stronger protections to truly guarantee users' privacy. The nonprofit, nonpartisan consumer group warned the public that even with shorter data retention times, identifiable personal data remains on the search companies' servers because each point of contact renews the data retention window. Since many users of Google or Yahoo! return on a daily basis, they are constantly providing a new stream of personal data.

Google Wants You To Be Its Unpaid Muse

theodp writes "So where do you turn to for great ideas when tough times force you to abort your engineers' brainchildren? If you're Google, reports Nicholas Carlson, you simply outsource brainstorming to your users. Google's launched a new Google Product Ideas blog as well as a Product Ideas for Google Mobile site where users can submit feature and product ideas and vote on others. So what's in it for you if you come up with Google's next billion-dollar-idea? 'If you post an idea or suggestion and we put it into action, we may give you a shout out on our Product Ideas blog,' explains Google, 'but we won't be compensating users for their ideas.' Lucky thing don't-be-evil Googlers don't have to live up to the IEEE Code of Ethics, or they might have to credit properly the contributions of others.

Even Google Is Feeling the Crunch

The Wired Science blog reports that Google will shut down its scientific data service in January without ever officially launching the product. In an email to beta testers, Google told users that it would nix its Google Research Datasets project, anticipated to help scientists deal with the data deluge by offering them a place to upload their data, in favor of "other activities such as Google Scholar, our Research Programs, and publishing papers about research at Google," the email says.

The Google and Yahoo Marriage Is Dead

Google has backed down from an online advertising marriage with Yahoo amid antitrust concerns raised over the partnership of the number 1 and 2 search providers worldwide. Back in June 2008, Yahoo opted for an alliance with Google, defying cries over a monopoly on the online advertising space from Microsoft and other rivals. Yahoo's measure was first and foremost a tactic designed to keep it out of the grasp of Microsoft, which had made an unsolicited bid to acquire the Internet giant in February 2008.

Tech Ticker: Yahoo-CBS; SanDisk; Google

Yahoo is plugging its Internet radio service into CBS's webcasting network in a move driven by dramatically higher fees for airing music online.Yahoo's retreat from operating a standalone service, announced Wednesday, makes it the second major Web site this year to flee the rising royalty rates by hitching its radio operations to CBS. AOL Radio, owned by Time Warner, hooked up with CBS in June. Yahoo's radio channel, called Launchcast, will combine with CBS beginning in February. The shift broadens Yahoo's retrenchment from online music. The company closed a music downloading service and transferred its music subscription service to RealNetworks' Rhapsody earlier this year. Meanwhile, billionaire investor Carl Icahn says he would oppose a potential bid for Yahoo by former AOL CEO Jonathan Miller.

Google Denies Reports Its Against Net Neutrality

An article in today's edition of The Wall Street Journal stated that Google had been in talks with major cable and phone companies to give them preferential treatment for traffic to and from its sites, conflicting with the principle of "Net neutrality". Google responded to report, claiming that the Journal's reporters misunderstood the company's offer to place "edge servers" within the networks of certain Internet service providers. Edge servers store frequently requested Google content by subscribers so transmissions of said data can be local servers rather than from Google's central servers. As such, network traffic decreases and response times increase, but this approach is not considered to violate Net neutrality, and Google claims to still be strongly committed to the principle.

Yahoo Buys 30 Percent Stake In Indian Phone Directory Service Ezee

Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) has acquired a 30 percent stake in Indian telephone-directory search service Call Ezee, which is owned by Network Management Co., reports Reuters. Yahoo’s cash infusion will help the company expand its reach from covering 14 cities to up to 50, and grow its information database five-fold, to 10 million numbers. It also seeks to improve call volumes by up to 10 times by year-end 2009. Currently, Call Ezee is estimated to generate about 10,000 calls a day, according to San Francisco Business Times. The company’s competition includes Google (NSDQ: GOOG), which has launched local search in India; JustDial; AskLaila, which is creating local search content and reviews about companies; and Guruji.com, which is funded by Sequoia Capital and is primarily Internet based and is becoming more of a general search engine for Indi

Ads and More Spotted in Google Suggest

Google Suggest is Google’s auto completion feature of their homepage box (you can toggle whether this will show in your Google preferences, though your setting will always be lost when you lose your cookies and login again). Now Search Engine Land reports that special links are appearing in the suggest box... like news results, but also AdWords ads. In the screenshot above courtesy of Danny Sullivan, the ad is shown at the top, but Google were also showing Danny examples of a bottom position placement that’s being tested. (Hmm... could these type of ads ever become part of Google Chrome’s browser address bar auto-completion, too?)

Google Tells Users To Drop IE6

Kelly writes "Google is now urging Gmail users to drop Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) in favor of Firefox or Chrome. Google recently removed Firefox from the Google Pack bundle, replaced it with Chrome, then added a direct download link for Chrome on Google and YouTube. Google's decision to list IE6 as an unsupported Gmail browser does not affect just consumers: Tens of thousands of small- and mid-sized businesses that run Google Apps hosted services may dump IE6 as well. What's especially interesting is the fact that Mozilla is picking up two out of three browser users that Microsoft surrenders."
