SEOs will be much more fragmented on different platforms within social networks. It’ll help eliminate a lot of the search spammers, but is going to impact on anyone who gets rankings on search engines without...

It would jeopardize Goggle’s position with its competitors and compromise relations with users.

The kids showed me the gun and I took it from them and called police. I thought it had something to do with the murders because the girl’s car had been found in the lot...

It looked like a task force coming down the street. They wanted to know if we had seen or heard anything.

This will probably calm some of this thing down.

I don’t really have a range of what it would be it’s all over the place.

It’s not an issue of privacy but it raises the question that next time it could be.

This is the most high-profile dropping of a company we’ve seen. Bigger companies have probably been dropped, but we haven’t heard about it.

One million random Web addresses doesn’t tell you how many are porn or how many kids had access.

If you have the ability to access your files remotely, you can work on them from anywhere.

Yahoo has great organization for its service with great relevancy. I think it’s going to definitely help build them up for people looking for that kind of content.

Are you asking for a service to actually make the changes, or do you just want them to come and look through your site and suggest things overall and you do it?

If you want to measure how much porn is showing up in searches, try searching for it yourself rather than issuing privacy alarm sounding subpoenas. It would certainly be more accurate.

Before this, I was actually of the mind that if you’re doing the disclosure, this is the way to go. The more I thought about this, I realized this is evil. You’re caving into censorship...

I’m interested to see if the search companies who handed over info to the feds lose any market share and/or total number of searches in the future due to sharing data with the government.

I think it’s a good move for them. I’ve long wondered when they were going to get that whole thing put together. This is related to the idea of organizing information and helping people understand...

AOL, Microsoft and Yahoo did not violate the privacy of any user by handing over this information. No private data was revealed. Nevertheless, by not pushing back against such a bad request for data, it...

Nothing suggests that they wanted to know who did the searches in any way. Having said this, such a move absolutely should breed some paranoia. They didn’t ask for data this time, but next time,...

You could add a billion pages about Britney Spears and that doesn’t mean the quality of results will be any better. There have been times when other search indexes have expanded, and the results have...

In the last year and a half, (A9) hasn’t skyrocketed in popularity.

They said, back when they invested in the Internet-over-power-lines company, that part of their corporate mission is ‘promoting universal access to the Internet for users,’ … They seem to think they need to make sure...

The P.R. community is learning more, but many remain in the dark.

Overall it looks interesting but I don?t know if they have anything that the other people couldn?t match if they are lacking,

Technically, they can use that to find out who you are.

Dropping the home page count is a positive move that I think helps defuse the entire ‘size wars’ situation,

We often search for private things that we may prefer not be seen by others, even if the possibility is fairly remote. At minimum, police your own desktop by clearing history. That’s the most vulnerable...

It’s a crowded market. If other companies get popular they would get purchased.

At this point, I think everyone understands that maps are a great way of presenting information and there are probably opportunities there, and that’s long overdue.

Overall it looks interesting but I don’t know if they have anything that the other people couldn’t match if they are lacking,

Microsoft’s problem is that despite having all this stuff, they haven’t really budged their share of search.

What will really be interesting is how they actually display it in Web search results.

Hopefully, I’ll be overlooked. Hopefully, I’ll pull off my best wrestling at state.

Heck, Google Talk doesn’t even feature a box to let you search for things, as rival products from AOL, MSN and Yahoo do.

So the butler is safe?

While the search marketing space grows, it’s hard to get good people trained, If they’re good, others want to poach them.

They’ve mounted a public-relations campaign to counter the perception of bias, but the perception is definitely out there.

They definitely have a market, because they have the traffic. Search marketers can’t seem to get enough traffic. I don’t know anyone who is not going to try MSN.

The tremendous growth in search underscores it as a fundamental advertising and public relations medium that has to be considered alongside other ad and PR venues, rather than being an afterthought. The growth also makes...

I think MSN has some features advertisers will gobble up, but it’s too early to say whether it will be a superior experience. They have a sizable amount of traffic. Advertisers will want to reach...

It’s my turn now, and the wait was worth it, … I’m having the time of my life right now.

Honestly I think there is no master plan other than ‘Let’s put this tool out there and see what people do with it,’

The bottom line is, they’re doing everything they can to take on Microsoft at its own game.

It’s very ambitious to say you’re going to go into another area and immediately change it. Radio isn’t very measurable right now, not because of a lack of interest, but because it’s just a tough...

Losing the person who is the head of their operations just diminishes credibility for their search and puts a larger question mark behind what they are doing. Overall, the move is not a good sign...

Users will be the best judge of which search engine is the most appropriate,

You look at what he’s had to deal with, with his personal concerns, and you understand what kind of person you are dealing with. I have no doubt Scott will handle any pressure that comes...

They have lots of information. They know what people are clicking on. They know what people are searching for.

Search engines compile a lot of data on what we search for and much of what we search for is personal. Many people fear that the government wants to do data mining. It’ll be interesting...

It just adds to the Google lustre. He would be a smart visionary and leader.

For anybody using Excite right now it should be a huge improvement because one of the problems with Excite was it’s a relatively small database and that has meant that there have been good sites...
