Called Google Sidewiki, the device is integrated in the latest version of Google Toolbar and works with both Firefox and Web Explorer but ironically, not yet Google Chrome. To use Sidewiki, download the latest version of the Google Toolbar and set it to enhanced. Google has launched a controversial new device that allows the public to comment on any web-site in a side bar displayed in their browser.

Google Moderator has finally been released. Google Moderator is a tool that allows distributed communities to submit and vote on questions for tech talks, presentations and events. Google Moderator is a small application initially created for submitting and voting on the questions for Google's tech talks . "At Google, we host a large number of "tech talks". These talks cover a wide rage of Computer Science topics like research in machine learning and methods for ranking images based on text queries. I've enjoyed attending these tech talks, but as the number of attendees has grown over time, the question-and-answer part of the talks hasn't been able to scale," explains Taliver Heath . The application turned out to be useful for other things, like the company's meetings, and Google decided to launch it publicly on the App Engine platform. In his blog , head of Google's Webspam team Matt Cutts says "I like that Google is in many ways turn...

It seems like Google has increased the frequency of their Page Rank update . The last PR update happened just two months back. The latest one has already been started this weekend as many blogs again lost their PR. This blog 'Potpourri' has lost its PR from PR 4 to PR 3. Some sites have gained PR too such as Funny Jokes, Funny Pranks (PR 3 in first PR Update, then PR 1 in last PR update and now again PR 2 in this latest Google PR update) and Sizzling Celebrity (From PR 0 to PR 1 in this Google Update). There are various other examples of Google PageRank change in this latest Google Page RankUpdate, September 2008.

Google dance 2008 has started and we can expect major PR updates this time too similar to the previous google PR Update 2007.

I think I must share this experience with you. I have published a post on what google does not like the most . But suddenly I have noticed that in my front page no relevant adsense ads are displaying. But in other HTML pages i.e.in other single post page, I am getting relevant adsense ads.I tried various methods but all in vein. There was no programming error from my end. I was in doubt. It was haunting me why it happened. The day before the post, I was getting good relevant adsense ads but then what happened today? . Perhaps google really does not like those words. I have just sent a mail to them to ask for the specific reason. I have contacted with one of my friend working in google to get an idea what might happen. According to him, googlebot /Media-partners googlebot(adsensebot) may have some automated filters(program generated and these are changed very often) on particular words/search terms and they can restrict displaying relevant ads over there. Apart from that, blogger it...

I think I should share this information with you. This is still a secondary research data but I have found it somehow useful.The best paying google adsense keywords and search terms are mostly from Medical/health, software,Law,Casino,finance,dating,real estate and telecom/electronics field. Here is the list below for your reference. But the competition is too high here and market is over crowded. The best usage of these keywords is to find out your own niche indirectly related to the top paying keywords with your own good quality content. Then it may justify your hard work of writing your blog by giving you some payout as a reward. But if you are focussed enough, even you can make your living totally online. It may take time but doable enough.You need to do loads of experiment and keep yourself updated. I know someone who has done this. He has presently 1000 websites and blogs(10 sites having very good amount of traffic) and earning very healthy US $ daily from google adsense, casale m...

http://postsecret.blogspot.com/ is a popular blog by Frank Warren. PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. This blog has transformed the secrets that people have artfully and anonymously posted into, a medium that allows his readers to not only face their own secrets, but also find a path of self-acceptance and understanding. Today I tried to get my edition of post secret and found a blank blog. The same happened with thousands of other PostSecret.com readers.They woke up this morning expecting to find their usual dose of Sunday Secrets, but instead, they faced a blank blog owned by 'nicole.' Speculation started immediately on the internet, but it seems blogger.com shut down the popular blog. Why would this happen? It appears blogger thought Post Secret was a spam blog, and pulled it. I was so curious that I had sent a mail to Google (blogger) to know the reason as it was really surp...
