Google Time Bomb - Will Weblogs blow up the world’s favorite search engine? Bloggers are sneaking in keywords to make searches rank higher (shock!), but Google could send in a swat team to defuse the bombs. [from Webreference]
Gosh, it’s a Googly news day. Also in Webreference is a link to Google Compute, a new feature on the Google Toolbar that allows your computer to work on complex scientific problems.
It’s no wonder why Google rules. Yet, there are certain members in my family who don’t use it much. Hmm…
