Google Search Improvements
March 24th, 2009 | 
Author: Search using three or more words and receive more text in your results. Google will show three or four lines of text in search results using an improved search formula. These longer snippets give you a better idea of what you are about to click into and hopefully improve that choppiness that is prevalent in former searches. The improved search is suppose to do a better job at understanding associations and concepts relevant to your search terms.

Adword Keyword Tool Outages
There have been a number of reports of Google’s Adwords keyword tool not responding correctly for both API and the external web based tool. Users are reporting a -1 value. Fresh search volume data is being pushed out and this is probably the temporary result of this new data.
We’re #1
We are #1 for “SEO Company”. No, this site really isn’t and neither is the person who sent me a messsage saying they were first in Google for SEO Company. I’m still appaled at these bold spam messages that are trying to get you suckered into using their SEO Company services. It’s easy to do a search and determine that they aren’t number one or number anything for any search term. And yet I’ll bet a number of people signed up for their services even though they were using a gmail account.
Microsoft’s New Search
It’s not Live, it’s Kumo. Microsoft is testing a new search engine code named Kumo. Is it just lipstick on a pig or will this Johnny come lately finally be able to steal some market share?
