Broadband service provided by Google?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Wow. Talk about a monopoly. What next Google, providing mammograms for women?

Wanting to make internet speedy for customers Google has decided on diving head first into the Broadband market. Look out RoadRunner.

They announced on their blog Wednesday they planned to layout fiber-optic network to at least 50,000 homes and up to 500,000. Currently this is just a testing period for them. They are no where near providing nationwide but you can imagine only if they did.

Seems that they have the support of the FCC as well. Stay tuned for Google to take over the world. Do you think they control Obama?

Buzz, another Social Networking flop from Google?

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

According to some critics it’s a flop. Many are writing negative feedback about the new project by Google calling it a cross from Twitter and Facebook. I received my Google Buzz acceptance today and tried using it for awhile. At first glance I didn’t see anything too great from it. Because I feel Google, much like Apple, always impresses me in the long run I give Buzz a little hope. I’ll grant Google some time to get Buzz where it needs to be. It does have big competition. Twitter is constantly getting more and more followers. Facebook has just recently revamped their interface yet again, which I rather enjoy.
Like GoogleWave I feel they have some plans for Buzz that we can’t even imagine. Check out the video below from Technology Blogger Mark Milian of the LA Times website. He talks a little bit about Buzz and how it works on your phone.

This is complete boner news for any blogger or research analyst. Google Labs™ has done it again. Creating another gem right after releasing Google Trends. I’m really excited to take this on a tour myself. The basic way to explain Google Squared is simply by showing you a search.

As you can see above I searched for ‘Star Trek’. When you click the ‘Square it’ button it calculates the data it finds all over Google search and places it into a spreadsheet. Notice the last column where it says ‘Played By’? I actually added that which is another neat feature. You can add more columns or take some away. Because I was interested in knowing the actors names I added that column. This website is super flexible. I cannot wait to learn more about Google Squared™ and it’s future.
