Why Google Should Embrace OpenOffice.org

CWmike writes "Preston Gralla has a decent idea that could move the office needle: If Google really wanted to deliver a knockout punch to Microsoft, it would integrate OpenOffice with Google Docs, and sell support for the combined suite to small businesses, medium-sized business, and large corporations. Given the reach of Google, the quality of OpenOffice, and the lure of free, it's a sure winner. Imagine if a version of it were available as a Web service from Google, combined with massive amounts of Google storage. Integrated with Google Docs, it would also allow online collaboration. For those who wanted more features, the full OpenOffice suite would be available as a client — supported by Google. wouldn't be at all surprised to see this happen.

Google Earth in the browser is fast, but ugly

Google today sped ahead in the web search domain once again with the release of the Google Earth API. Yes, the recent improvements to Live Maps were impressive, but today the search giant has put Google Earth into the browser. Microsoft made this move first, completely disregarding Google's client release of Google Earth, with its Virtual Earth API and browser plug-in. Google's Windows-only release today seems to focus on 3D, and speed. The performance is noticeably superior to Microsoft's, but there are still obvious kinks that need to be worked out.

Google Makes Mobile Search Faster, Sort Of

Google (NSDQ: GOOG) is making a pretty big deal out of this. It wrote on its blog this morning that they “are obsessed with making your mobile search experience as fast as possible,� so, they updated their mobile homepage to load much faster. They did this by allowing google.com to cache in the browser, so that when you return a second time, it loads almost instantly. I tried it out on my Blackberry Curve, and sure enough, the second time I loaded the search page, it was much faster. And although, this is nice, it’s not the page loading that drives me nuts. It’s the actual search process that takes a long time, and that’s not getting any faster. Besides, I hardly ever go to Google.com in my browser since I have a standalone widget for it on my phone.

Search took 0.58 seconds.
