Official Google Blog. Google’s Jambool Acquisition Confirmed. Guess Who Else Disagrees With Google’s Net Neutrality Plan? Google In 2006. “The new Internet.

Guess who made that video? Google. That’s striking, of course, because of the news this week that Google has now compromised with Verizon on a proposed net neutrality plan. Google says the compromises made were necessary to move the debate forward. Who besides Google and Verizon do agree on this compromise? Earlier today, we were pointed to a new site made in protest of the Google/Verizon plan.

The past few days I’ve been bookmarking posts about Google, Verizon, and net neutrality to read later. For the past few hours I’ve been doing that — and I’ve barely made a dent. It seems that everyone who has ever written a word on the Internet is up in arms about the situation. And what’s amazing is that nearly all of them are in agreement. There’s no clear consensus as to why Google is selling us out, but the consensus is that they are.
And I have to agree. Further, Google’s response to the backlash today stating the “facts” about their proposal with Verizon sort of pisses me off. Before I begin, let me just state that there are only a handful of companies I adore because I love their products. And that’s exactly why what they’re doing with regard to net neutrality is so disappointing. In light of this week, much has been made about Google’s unofficial motto “don’t be evil”. Instead, Google’s intentions are much more transparent: greed. With both, the key phrase is “for the most part.” How Big Is Google? Quick overview on Google’s Products & Services and Servers.

I discovered this morning that Google isseems to be cloaking results for some users based on either your browser ID user agent or possibly based on the extensions you are running in Firefox. Like many search marketers, I frequently use Google custom queries. By far, the most common query I use is the site: command which shows the pages from a particular domain or folder within a domain.

By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 13:31 GMT, 10 August 2010 Technology giants Google and Verizon have today paved the way for a future 'two-tier' internet in which companies can pay extra to make sure their services get through. In a joint statement the two firms called for a new, premium connection which would let internet service providers, such as Virgin, charge more for certain services over faster, higher-quality lines.

Sci-tech | Claire Cain Miller, NYT News Service | Updated: July 30, 2010 16:30 IST New York: Google said on Thursday that its search engine was "fully blocked" in China, along with Google ads and mobile search.
This is the first time that Google has been blocked since March, when it closed its search service in China and began automatically redirecting users to an uncensored search engine in Hong Kong after a standoff over censorship. Although it has been fairly common since then for the search engine to be partially blocked, which Google describes as between 10 percent and 66 percent blocked, it has not been fully blocked, or 67 percent to 100 percent blocked. The announcement came on a Web page where Google monitors the availability of Google services in China.
The Web site notes that "service status in China has a fluctuating nature. " "Certainly from a financial perspective, I want to reiterate, revenue from China is not material," Rosenberg said.
