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". 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. The frequency of use of many search terms has reached such a volume that they may indicate broader economic, social and health trends.[12] Data about the frequency of use of search terms on Google have been shown to correlate with flu outbreaks and unemployment levels and provide the information faster than traditional reporting methods and government surveys.

OpenHeatMap FOAF Vocabulary Specification Classes Class: foaf:Agent Agent - An agent (eg. person, group, software or physical artifact). The Agent class is the class of agents; things that do stuff. The Agent class is useful in a few places in FOAF where Person would have been overly specific. [#] [back to top] Class: foaf:Document Document - A document. The Document class represents those things which are, broadly conceived, 'documents'. The Image class is a sub-class of Document, since all images are documents. We do not (currently) distinguish precisely between physical and electronic documents, or between copies of a work and the abstraction those copies embody. [#] [back to top] Class: foaf:Group Group - A class of Agents. The Group class represents a collection of individual agents (and may itself play the role of a Agent, ie. something that can perform actions). This concept is intentionally quite broad, covering informal and ad-hoc groups, long-lived communities, organizational groups within a workplace, etc. Here is an example.
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. Some, like Google Reader, lived long, prosperous lives, full of admiration and glory. Most, like Google Wave and Google Buzz, struggled to carve out a place in this harsh, unforgiving world where technologies continuously clash and innovation reigns king. But whether these services transformed our productivity or only polluted our inboxes, they all touched our world in some way. 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.
What is Visual Rhetoric? Visual Rhetoric Overview, Definition, and Examples Visual rhetoric, in a nutshell, refers to how we are persuaded by the things we see. Rhetoric (particularly in politics) often refers to language, whether written or oral, that is used strategically to persuade people to believe or act in certain way. When people talk about visual rhetoric, you might be inclined to think that they are referring to the way images are manipulated to skew the way we perceive things. Look at the graphic below. So what is Visual Rhetoric, Exactly? Visual rhetoric is part of a communication process where we interpret and make meaning out of the world around us. The problem is, we sometimes communicate visually without even realizing it. The fact is, visual rhetoric (or the way people interpret messages by what they see) is affected by a whole host of things. Visual rhetoric, in essence, is the meaning that comes as a result of what we see, affected by context. How Does Visual Rhetoric Work? Whenever we look at something, visual rhetoric is in play.
Linked Data: Evolving the Web into a Global Data Space 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.
Designing to Inform and Delight: Drawing Inspiration from Milton Glaser Good visual communicators reach into the depths of culture and listen to its heartbeat. Those who really have the ability to affect an audience recognize not only what the people enjoy, but what they are missing and don’t know it yet. Some argue that designers are the architects of the future; they are the people that create the stuff we want, need, see, and use and thus significantly impact the way the rest of us view our world. For the last century in America, there has been sad byproduct of the need to increase wealth: the atrophy of good design. For all the valuable traits that have come with expedience and mass production (speed, money, industry, progress), much has been lost in regards to paying attention to details: we’ve lost, in many cases, the ability to both inform and delight. Design, visual communication, is a detail that has for far too long been ignored. I recently re-watched the documentary Milton Glaser: To Inform and Delight. Help spread visual literacy.
