2012/02/08/analytics-dashboard-netvibes-sold-to-dassault-systemes/? Netvibes has just been acquired by European product design company Dassault Systèmes (sure this isn’t the type of thing I usually write, but I like the founder Tariq Krim so bear with me here … ). French startup Netvibes is a sentiment analytics dashboard that allows Fortune 500 companies to track their social media presence throughout the realtime web. Dassault is a “3D experience” design company — which lets designers virtualize how products will work in the real world — so the acquisition actually seems jarring at first, but Netvibes CEO Freddy Mini tells me that the buy actually makes sense in terms of connecting what people say about a product to its design process through the Netvibes dashboard. “With the birth of the real-time Web, companies need to adapt to everything and everyone inside and outside their borders.

“It is the synchronization of the outside world and the inside world into one world,” Mini said over the phone. Oracle annonce des solutions de comptabilité et de reporting environnementaux pour Oracle E-Business Suite et Oracle JD Edwards Financials.

Dear Google: First and foremost, my letter to you is not personal. I am a big fan of yours and always have been. You have the best search engine in the World, better than Bing. You have the best web email service. Your Google Docs product is amazing. Obviously, you are a great company and despite what some believe, you are not evil.

However, when you stated the other day that you are taking steps to make sure web pages from content farms don’t show up prominently in your search results it follows that you Google believe that content farmers and web spammers are bad for the Web, or at least your search engine. It begs the question, if you are serious about making articles from content farms show up less in your top search results why don’t you just do it already? Here’s what I suggest: Step 1: Define what a content farm is. But at least the sites on the edge of this behavior would know that they are OK by you and that they will continue to show up high in search results. Will Google’s Groupon clone swap out algorithms for good writing? Updated with confirmation It looks like Google is preparing to launch its own version of popular deal service Groupon. Mashable just published a copy of what looks like a leaked fact sheet for the service, called Google Offers.

Google famously tried to buy Groupon for $6 billion, but the search giant was eventually rebuffed, and Groupon instead raised $950 million in funding and is reportedly preparing for a $15 billion public offering. Google, meanwhile, still has its sights on the local market, including local deals, signaled most obviously by the fact that it recently put high-profile executive Marissa Mayer in charge of local products. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the details revealed in the fact sheet is how closely they mirror the Groupon model.

In the case of Google Offers, it sounds like Google will distribute the deals across its ad network and on the Google Offers site, but Google emphasizes the fact that the deals will go out in a daily email.
