Google Reader joins graveyard of dead Google products

Google Reader joins graveyard of dead Google products
It’s hard to lose a loved one, especially if that loved one is a Google service. That’s why we’re opening the gates of the Google Graveyard, a virtual space for grieving. Buried in these hallowed grounds are some of Google’s ill-fated services. Click on a grave to leave a flower, and let the healing process begin. Full-time graveyard staff robots clear out withered flowers regularly; only the last 3,000 are shown. Update, June 30, 2014: A new grave was added to the graveyard after Google announced that its first foray into social networking, Orkut, has passed into the technological nether.

Art Project – Google+ Google Translate now serves 200 million people daily SAN FRANCISCO -- Google Translate provides a billion translations a day for 200 million users, the company revealed here Friday at its Google I/O show for developers. Google doesn't often share details about the scale on which it operates, but Josh Estelle, leader for Google Translate's front-end and mobile engineering, had a few statistics to share about the service during a talk about it. Estelle, who's worked on Google Translate for seven years, also said 92 percent of the usage is from people outside the United States. The Internet is famously English-centric, but it's expanding gradually to other languages, helped in part by technological change such as right-to-left text support in browsers, and Web addresses that can be written in non-Roman alphabets. The service now works in 71 languages; the last five added are Bosnian, Cebuano, Hmong, Javanese, and Marathi, Estelle said. Google Translate launched with third-party technology but eventually switched to Google's own. • Ubiquity.

Google Reader Still Drives Far More Traffic Than Google+ lapse: Landsat Satellite Images of Climate Change, via Google Earth Engine TIME and Space | By Jeffrey Kluger Editors note:On Nov. 29, 2016, Google released a major update expanding the data from 2012 to 2016. Read about the update here. Spacecraft and telescopes are not built by people interested in what’s going on at home. That changed when NASA created the Landsat program, a series of satellites that would perpetually orbit our planet, looking not out but down. Over here is Dubai, growing from sparse desert metropolis to modern, sprawling megalopolis. It took the folks at Google to upgrade these choppy visual sequences from crude flip-book quality to true video footage. These Timelapse pictures tell the pretty and not-so-pretty story of a finite planet and how its residents are treating it — razing even as we build, destroying even as we preserve. Chapter 1: Satellite Story | By Jeffrey Kluger It’s a safe bet that few people who have grown up in the Google era have ever heard of Stewart Udall. But in 1966, Udall and his staff had an idea. 1 of 20 1 of 14

Google Search Google Search (or Google Web Search) is a web search engine owned by Google Inc. Google Search is the most-used search engine on the World Wide Web,[4] handling more than three billion searches each day.[5][6] The order of search on Google's search-results pages is based, in part, on a priority rank called a "PageRank". Google Search provides many options for customized search, using Boolean operators such as: exclusion ("-xx"), alternatives ("xx OR yy"), and wildcards ("x * x").[7] The main purpose of Google Search is to hunt for text in publicly accessible documents offered by web servers, as opposed to other data, such as with Google Image Search. Major competitors of Google are Baidu and Soso.com in China; Naver.com and Daum Communications in South Korea; Yandex in Russia; Seznam.cz in Czech Republic; Yahoo! Search[edit] PageRank[edit] Search products[edit] In 2012, Google changed its rankings to demote sites that had been accused of piracy, except the Google-owned YouTube site.[20]

Abandoning the Unprofitable: Google Reader and the Cruel Logic of the It-Gets-Better Business Written by Michael Thomsen (@mike_thomsen) Progress is only exciting in the first stages, when a fanciful idea becoming an attainable thing is most delightful. But if progress exists, it must also be maintained over long periods of time, to ensure its benefits remain in place even for those who've forgotten they're there. This week Google announced it will be closing its Reader service on July 1 for "two simple reasons," a decline in users and a desire to focus on a smaller number of products in the future. For many in the West the news was a reminder the dusty old service still existed, having long been surpassed by a number of reader alternatives more flexible and responsive to the increasingly varied habits of, and devices for, internet reading.The closure is also a reminder that progress always has a point of view, identifying groups of people as an audience worth serving while implicitly identifying others as unworthy.

Time to back away from the cookie jar? Introducing nutrition info in search Figuring out how to make smart choices about some of our favorite foods can often be a cumbersome and daunting process. So we’re hoping we can make those choices a little bit easier: starting today you will be able to quickly and easily find extensive nutrition information for over 1,000 fruits, vegetables, meats and meals in search. From the basics of potatoes and carrots to more complex dishes like burritos and chow mein, you can simply ask, “How much protein is in a banana?” This new nutritional information builds on our work on the Knowledge Graph, which brings together all kinds of information from across the web that wasn't easily accessible. This feature will begin to launch today in English and will be rolling out in the US over the next ten days.

RSS: Google Reader est mort, et c'est tant mieux Google vient d'annoncer la mise à mort de son service de flux RSS, Google Reader, d'ici l'été 2013. Laissez-moi d'abord présenter mes sincères condoléances aux millions de personnes qui utilisent Google Reader –dont certains qui ont appris la triste nouvelle le jour de leur anniversaire–, et ont été choquées par cette nouvelle brutale. Si vous faites partie de ces internautes, quelques conseils pratiques: Google explique comment exporter ses données, voici un Google doc listant toutes les alternatives au service de flux RSS (et les cinq préférés de Cnet), et voilà une pétition pour demander à Google de ne pas tuer Reader. Par ailleurs, si vous aimez Google Reader, c'est que vous aimez les flux RSS. Et si vous aimez les flux RSS, la mort de Google Reader peut en fait être vue comme une excellente nouvelle. publicité Le créateur d'Instapaper Marco Arment rappelle ainsi que quand l'outil a été lancé en 2005, avant les iPhones, «il a détruit le marché pour les clients RSS d'ordinateurs.

A Brief History of Google Places [Infographic] | David Mihm SEOs tend to work themselves into a frenzy over every minor news announcement that comes out of Mountain View–and one could probably say Local SEOs lie on the extreme end of the spectrum. In some respects, it's understandable. Our space is constantly evolving, and to ignore these announcements can put us at a significant disadvantage relative to peers who are paying closer attention. At the same time, this frenetic pace can lead to a bit of information overload, and an inability to see the bigger picture–both in terms of Google's algorithm itself, and more broadly in terms of where the company is headed as it tries to stay ahead of its many competitors. I focus exclusively these days on a very small niche of SEO–Google Places– and even in this tiny little sliver of the online marketing world, I've found myself struggling to keep up over the past several months. + PDF Version (8.5" X 11") + PNG Version (1600px X 1200px) What do you think?
