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 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 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 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

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.

It designed to take on Industry leading Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and also one time Google web allies Mozilla ( Goodbye Mozilla.).

Borders.com Goes Live with Google Preview

Borders has enabled Google Preview on their site. Google Preview, unveiled in September, is a widget-like tool that allows retailers or anyone handy with Web site code to embed a preview of 20% of any book in Google’s database onto their site.

Is outsourcing to Google Mail really the way to go?

Now, there have been various reports of Google mail outages, along with bad or non-existent Google technical support. I myself have had recurring brief trouble with outgoing mail at one of my domains. (My workaround is just to send from the other of the two email domains I use. This works for everything except Yahoo Groups, and within an hour I can resend to there anyway. If I only had one domain, I might do my retries through my web hosting company when Google is hiccupping.) I've even made fun of Google Mail's ads.

Google Gets Even More Serious About IMAP Mail

Just days after Google launched the silly Mail Googgles, the company has introduced a more serious e-mail tool called Advanced IMAP Controls for Gmail through its Google Labs division.

Google broadens e-mail archiving service

Google: Heres a new feature to help you serve us better

Part of Google’s genius is its Tom Sawyer ability to get users to do some of its work. The beauty of the strategy is the way Google does this — by providing free tools and features that are of actual value to users even as they supply more content or more behavioral data for Google to monetize. So when you post on Blogger or upload video to YouTube or write an article for Knol or build a Google map mashup, you’re having your own fun while serving the search sovereign as well. This works well as long as users, even those who know they’re being used, feel like they’re getting the better end of the deal — that any benefits to Google are a byproduct of a feature or service, not the primary purpose. But the quid pro quo balance of Google’s latest addition to its core search function strikes me as a little out of whack, on first l

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.

With this launch there are now 56 regional editions of Google News available in 20 different languages.

Google Faces Patent Extortion From Russia

Google has become a big target for patent lawsuits over the years, as does just about any successful company. Most of the lawsuits seem like more of an attempt to shakedown a successful company, rather than any legitimate complaint, and the latest is no exception. Valleywag points us to the news that a Russian company named Era Vodoleya claims that it invented and patented "contextual advertising" and that Google owes the company $3 billion. It may be a translation issue, but the article falsely claims that Google implemented its contextual ad program in 1999, when it actually came about much later. Also, what's odd, is that no actual lawsuit has been filed. Instead, the company is going public with threats to file a lawsuit and asking Google to settle up.

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?

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 to spread the Book Search wealth

It's not that Google has suddenly turned socialist. It's just that the company has finally realized that it's easier to make a profit when you play nicely with your partners than when you simply steamroll over them. The search giant announced it would be paying out $125 million to settle a three-year-old copyright infringement suit with authors and publishers over its Google Book Search program. The deal is good for authors and publishers, who get $45 million right upfront, a new copyright holders registry, and an agreement to share the proceeds from future Book Search revenue. But it also turns out to be good for Google, since it opens the program to far more texts and it keeps Book Search's revenue-generating capabilities intact. The deal is a win-win and a nice blueprint for Google to follow in its other high-profile copyright case--Vi

Authors, Publishers, Google Embrace Settlement

Calling the proposed settlement “breathtaking,� “trailblazing� and “audacious,� representatives from the Authors Guild, Association of American Publishers and Google said the end of three years of litigation between the parties will usher in a new period for publishers, authors and Google to generate new revenue streams from books that become part of Google’s search engine. Authors Guild executive director Paul Aiken noted that while Google and authors still have major disagreements over the notion of copyright, it was important to put those concerns aside to forge an agreement that will provide authors with the two things they want most--their books to be read and a good royalty check. Richard Sarnoff of the AAP and Bertelsmann said that by reaching a settlement Google and publishers and authors can do more together to buil
