It only takes half a second for Google to return a search based on keywords you type in, but there's a whole lot more happening behind the scenes to give you the results you need. Google on Monday launched a video that explains the science behind how the massive search engine actually works. Matt Cutts, software engineer head of Google's webspam team, details in a YouTube video how the search engine giant thoroughly scours the web on a daily basis to provide the most up-to-date results to users. "There are three things you need to do to be the best search engine in the world. Although Google crawls the web on a daily basis, that wasn't always the case. "We used to crawl for 30 days… and then index for about a week and push that data out — and that would take about a week," Cutts said. But this method wasn't optimized since a lot of the information would be out of date.

Patterns for Designing a Reputation System » Yahoo! User Interface Blog
Recently, we released a family of related Reputation patterns to the Yahoo Design Pattern Library, the first of several collections of social-design related patterns that we’re working on. These patterns are somewhat different from the typical UI or rich-interaction type of pattern. They don’t tell you how to lay out a page or where to put an interactive widget.

The primary author of these patterns (and the creator of the sensitizing images) is Bryce Glass, a senior interaction designer on the Y!
