Google’s Insights for Search is a really neat tool for understanding the regional interest of search terms trended over time. In the last week, bloggers have been playing around with the tool to get a reading of the popularity distribution of the major social networks (see here, for instance). I started playing around with it a little bit and found some interesting data about the geographic distribution of keywords related to our industry. To understand ...

Daniel Keys' classic 1959 Science Fiction story "Flowers for Algernon", which takes place in a series of diary entries, has been posted online as a blog. Of course, you'll need to read it backwards, from the earliest entry to the latest, to avoid giving away the ending... [via]

YouTube added support for closed captioning, a feature that was already available at Google Video. If you edit one of your videos, you can click on the "Captions and subtitles" section and upload a captions file."Captions and subtitles make videos accessible to a wider audience by allowing folks who can not otherwise understand the audio track to follow along, especially those who are hard-of-hearing or speak other languages. Captions are in the same language as ...

Attorneys representing online video sites around the country are salivating today over the Veoh summary judgment decision (I know this because I’ve spoken to a few of them). In a nutshell, here’s what we learned today: If you take reasonable precautions against copyrighted materials on your service, you may be ok. And oh yeah, if you are going to get sued, try to get sued in federal court in northern California, because the judges there ...

In my previous post, I described the components of your web search experience and the principles behind creating a great search experience. There are complex algorithms underlying simple features such as spelling correction and the two line snippets that describe each search result. We figure out what works by running experiments - tiny tests for a small number of users which help us determine whether that feature helps or hurts. Experimentation is a very powerful ...

At the end of my last post on tabs, I mentioned Madhava’s concept for putting tabs into the Awesome Bar. It’s a scalable and elegant solution. It has the hallmark of a good interface: it’s almost invisible, with no training required to gain the benefits of the feature. In one fell swoop it solves the twin problem of (1) it being easier to open a new page than it is to find an existing tab ...

Last May I published a video demonstration of a cool iPhone application I saw at Where 2.0 which looked like Google Earth. The video demo was such a huge hit, Earthscape - the company who made it - quickly made it into a product you can now buy at the Apple store (available for $10). I purchased the app a couple of days ago and have just now had time to make a new video ...
