Google Changes are Coming!

A few interesting things have occured at Google this last month and I thought you might want to know about them:

I just sat through about a 2 hour session from Google on their new apps.


Check out Google Goggles - download this to your mobile phone - very cool! You can take a picture of the outside of a landmark and Google will tell you all about the place. Google does this for artwork, books, landmarks, etc...see the YouTube video on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhgfz0zPmH4

Also, you can access 'Real Time' postings and blogs on Google by doing a search and just under the search bar is "show options" - hit that and now you can see blogs, news, updates! Social Media postings -Facebook, Twitter, MySpace have partnered with Google to allow "real time" postings to show up in the search queries. That means that if you post and use keywords on those postings they will show up in the search queries!

Google Caffeine (Google's new search engine) is coming out in January and will move our rankings around - I will be watching this carefully to see what happens! SEO is under some significant changes this next year and those of us that work in the Internet world need to be aware of those changes! It is going to be quiet the ride!


Anyone want to comment on these changes?
