Google Is What We Still Trust?
Official Google Blog States: "This site may harm your computer" on every search result between 6:30 a.m. PST and 7:25 a.m. PST on Jan, 31st 2009: "Google Says its a human error, as the URL of '/' was mistakenly checked in as a value to the file and '/' expands to all URLs." However, these instances if continued, then people may lose trust on Google Search.
It wasn't a full-day breakdown; it was 40 minutes rolled out during an hour-long window. During that time, any Google search triggered the warning "This site may harm your computer" for every result. That day, five of the top 25 listings in Google Hot Trends were related to the glitch, including numbers one and three.
In Google Blog Search, there were 5,523 references to "this site may harm your computer" and "Google" from Saturday through Monday afternoon, when this column was being written. Combining that search with other terms, 2,189 included "error" (40%), 1,022 included "glitch," 430 included "bug," 88 included "meltdown," 27 included "blunder," 8 included "tragedy," and 5 included "catastrophe." As a control, 7 included "ice cream" and none included "emu" (as for the former, Google also scans other content on the page such as article roundups and comments, so some false positives tend to appear), also includes Wikipedia. Google Trends gives a wide gamut of websites that covers this topic.
However, I am sure that none of the other Search Engines can beat the Super power in Search. It is well said on Mediapost article that
Google is GlobalGoogle Rolls-out a Bus in Rural Tamil Nadu
There are few unifying global forces with greater appeal than Google. ComScore reports that in December 2008, Google sites reached 77% of the world's online audience, or 776 million people. The day's not far off when there will be more Googlers than there will be Indians or Chinese. To that point, if there's a catastrophe in Delhi, it might take time for the effects to ripple out to the eastern state of Assam, but when there's a catastrophe in Mountain View, the whole world can feel the impact at once.
On the other hand, Google Rolls-out a Bus in Rural Tamil Nadu, a Southern state of India. This is a mobile campaign aimed to reach out to people in Tier 2 and Tier 3 Towns with a knowledge base and exposure.This effort will cover 15 towns in the next 45 days in Tamil Nadu. According to the Head of Google, DR. Prasad Ram, in addition to the basics of Internet, the campaign also provides an awareness with its other products like Google Maps, Social networking, email and Search among others.
Also, Google has recently launched a new feature on Google Maps to explore under waters. Google Earth already enabled users to zoom into streets level and later came up with Exploring galexies in Sky and this new launch will become more successful with Underwater explorers.
