Today in search, I personally covered topics on Google AdWord geo specific ads, Google AdWords quality score ideas, Google search rankings update and if Google was down or not. In addition we discussed more annoyances with Yahoo Search Marketing, them partnering with British Telcom and a very cool new Yahoo link analysis tool. Microsoft hired over ten thousand new employees last year, Baidu makes a deal with HP to compete with Dell and Google in China. And the French courts ban a Google Maps mashup developed by Green peace.
