- Search Engine Watch lists different patent applications from Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, IBM, Go Daddy, Xerox and Ask.com. All those patent applications are related to e-mail, spaming, and search.
- Rumors said that Google Pages has been hacked because there are malicious Trojan code available for download from the site. Google rep informed back that it was not the case. Some Google Pages members deliberately uploaded malicious code to the free hosting service.
- A Threadwatch’s user notices that Google SERPs are different under Windows and Mac platform. I think this is normal. Google have been known to return different results based on data center, personalization of your Google Account, and others.
- Google is actively delisting smaller spam sites, but failed to notice a mammoth (ok, I am not assigning a mammoth negatively. Hint: size)? A Digital Point forum uncovered several domains that were able to rank billions of pages on Google’s SERPs within three weeks or so. Look like the sites have been de-indexed though.
