Google Android: The dude? Or big dud?

Today's the day Android strutted its stuff to the world. Is Android the game-changer for the SmartPhone industry, a real contender to the iPhone or just another cell phone OS? It's definitely not just another cell phone OS, as evidenced by all the attention around today's launch. Google has technology that other phones use but Google Android will exploit. Google search, of course is the 800-pound gorilla in search. Add Google maps (including a compass feature Google demonstrated in the T-Mobile [HTC] G1 phone), Google Webkit and the Chrome Web browser (a Chrome Lite comes on Android), Google Talk, YouTube, Google Apps, and so forth. This has allowed Google to layer in a single sign-on for all Google apps, and Android syncs data with your Google account for contacts, calendar, chat and likely other applications in the future.

Google Extends E-Mail Archiving Service to 10 Years

Google is extending its hosted e-mail archiving service to hold messages for up to a decade. Google Message Discovery is a hosted service that helps organizations manage email retention and security. For a flat fee of $45 per user per year, users can add hosted archiving with the ability to retain messages for up to 10 years, along with spam and virus filtering, all powered by Postini. Google will still offer Message Discovery at $25 for archiving e-mail for a year or less. Both packages include full email security service, with spam and virus filtering, along with policy management tools and a discovery search interface to locate relevant email in the event of litigation.

Google Now Allows Sites to Serve Content to Them While Showing a Registration Box to Non-Google Users

There once was a time when Google search tried to be a neutral bystander, watching the web without getting too actively involved. There once was a time when Google instructed webmasters to serve their Googlebot the same thing served to a site’s human users. Now, Google is officially telling webmasters they can serve one thing to people coming from Google web search, and another thing to people coming from elsewhere. Think of it as Google now offering publishers to hand Google a special key to the publisher’s content. Google calls this “first click free� and they say they do this in order “to help users find and access content that may require registration or a subscription�, to “include highly relevant content in Google’s search index� and to “to provide a promotion and discovery opportunity for publishers with restric

What is the deal with HTML email?

I don't have a strong opinion either way about receiving HTML email. Sometimes it's annoying, especially when there are tons of huge images cluttering up what amounts to a message about nothing. And sometimes they are just hard to read when the marketing style of the email gets in the way of the content. And most of the time I don't notice them either way as I have HTML turned off in my email client for security reasons. What I don't understand is why I'm constantly getting requests to teach people how to write HTML email. I have two forms of email that I send out regularly - email from my email client (Gmail, Thunderbird, Yahoo!, or Outlook - whatever) and email from my newsletter. The first I have control over the output, and I can send it as HTML email and format it however I wish using the email client.

Could You Google Bomb Google Flu?

Google got a lot of attention recently for the launch of Google Flu Trends, which looks at aggregate data on searches related to the flu, to see if it can act as something of an early warning system for where there are flu problems. It's an interesting use of the data, and it will be worth watching what else can be done with this sort of data over time. However, Ed Felten raises an interesting question: can Google Flu Trends be manipulated? The idea is that, right now, it may be accurate, but the very fact that people know Google is tracking this information, could create incentives to game that info -- in the same way people have tried gaming Google in other ways for years, using tricks such as Google bombing. While you might not think there would be that many reasons to manipulate Google Flu Trends, there could be reasons to do so.

Yahoo- Google inc. : A threat to Microsoft?

Yahoo, a major prize for Goliaths such as Google and Microsoft that wants to build a web empire with a major audience, sizable revenues, and good brand. By making a deal to Yahoo, Google gets a vastly bigger audience to go with its formidable resources. Google won’t be able to bid for Yahoo because of antitrust concerns. Yahoo has already surrendered some of its advertising space to search leader Google. The deal will allows running Google ads on yahoo search result pages. Google ad partnership with Yahoo could boost revenue and extend its online reach, making it the sole master of online advertising. Does Google deserve Yahoo? Google ad partnership with Yahoo would keep Yahoo out of Microsoft sight. Yahoo so desperate to stay away from Microsoft.

Google's Antitrust Problems Not Just In The US

As Google not-so-eagerly awaits the US Justice Department's word on whether or not it's violating antitrust laws, it appears that the fear of Google-as-a-monopoly is not just a domestic US issue. There are a bunch of headlines about how Russia's antitrust agency has rejected Google's purchase of an ad agency in that country. Technically, the claim is that Google didn't file the proper paperwork, but the agency made it clear that it's worried about Google becoming monopolistic. Of course, as with the Google-Yahoo deal, it's unclear what the "monopoly" is that's being dealt with here or how people are harmed. It seems like this might just be a general "must fear Google" position, than anything based on an actual problem.

Google Tacks On 10 More Years To E-Mail Archiving Program

Aimed at businesses that need to retain and store e-mail, Google has added 10 more years to its e-mail archiving service, Google Message Discover. "Regulations and guidelines like the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure put pressure on IT organizations to ensure that e-mail is properly retained and can be reliably located and preserved in the event of legal discovery," Google said in a company blog. "Coupled with the growing importance of e-mail as a store of intellectual property, e-mail archiving has become both legally necessary and critical to the operation of your business."

Google Releases New, Consolidated BlackBerry App For Plain And Google Apps Gmail

The Gmail Blog's suggestion to give Gmail a whirl on Google's new Chrome browser (be sure to take our Chrome Poll) isn't the only interesting news to come out of the Gmail camp.

Google Android and Chrome: Pay No Attention to the Robot Behind the Curtain

Google has recently announced major initiatives that take them beyond their historical base in Web search and ad delivery. Google's Android mobile operating system and application development platform have generated significant media coverage and industry buzz. Google Chrome, their new Web browser, recently entered a very public beta test phase, and Google's App Engine and Google Gears have created much interest among Web developers. Are these projects that consume huge development resources part of a misguided effort to dethrone Microsoft's desktop hegemony? Is Google losing their focus on search and ad delivery as a result? Or is there more here than meets the eye?
