Google aims to "connect" users with shared interests - Ars Technica
Google is improving its service aimed at providing websites with social networking features by making it easier for users with shared interests to connect with one another. The company has announced a number of new features for its Google Friend Connect that center on collecting and utilizing information about a site users' interests. The new features start off with a several ways to poll users for information about their particular interests. Site owners can use the data to create and send customized newsletters to users based on their stated interests. Here's a sample of the data you might collect if you ran a site about electric guitars. Google Friend product manager Mussie Shore explained the inspiration behind the new features using a comparison between seeing someone on a subway car versus seeing the same person in a guitar shop.

Curation Startup Says It Captures 10,000 Links a Day
French startup Pearltrees offers a very unique interface for organizing and sharing collections of links from around the web. Tomorrow the company will release a new, faster version of its application and announce that it has passed 2 million links curated in 7 months since going live. That means an average of 10,000 links have been bookmarked in Pearltrees every day since launch, and presumably many more now that the site has grown. Last month the company announced that it raised $1.6 million in venture funding. It's hard to know what percentage of those thousands of links are pulled in automatically from synced Twitter accounts. What do you think about Pearltrees? Have you found yourself using the service regularly, though? The interface still just isn't quite there for me yet, though.

Technology - Google casts shadow over new media groups
Google is developing technology that could position it to compete with a new breed of digital media companies that are generating story ideas for the internet by mining online search data for under-covered topics. These new digital companies hope to produce content more cheaply than traditional media operations by using statistical analysis to identify topics of interest to consumers and then hiring freelancers to produce relevant stories or videos. However, Google obtained a patent this year for a system that would help it identify “inadequate content” on the internet, based on comparisons of what people search for and what they find, executives who have reviewed the filing, said. The filing said data from the Google system could be sold to online publishers or given away for free, which could complicate the plans of companies such as Demand Media, Associated Content and AOL that are developing systems to generate ideas for internet content using software algorithms.

Microsoft Considers Buying Adobe To Fight Apple
Microsoft and Adobe held high level meetings to talk about how to slow Apple's momentum in the mobile market, Nick Bilton at the New York Times reports. One option for the companies, according to Bilton: Microsoft would acquire Adobe. We're not sure how that would help. Anybody have any thoughts? Adobe's Flash does not work on the iPhone or the iPad. It's available on Android phones, but it reportedly doesn't work very well. The news sent Adobe's stock soaring. See Also: Windows Phone 7 Review: A Fresh Start
