15 posts, two overlapped from blog to blog, but overall a busy morning. Let's see... First, a big mazol tov to Gary Price and Lisa on their engagement. Good luck to Mike Grehan and Andy Beal on their career moves. With Google, we noticed they changed their Web categories front, we also saw that they warn us of wares with interstitial pages and they hired a new executive to fancy Madison Avenue. We also discussed how Google can be used to find secret Chinese Military bases, also soon you will be able to make phone calls on a new WiFi phone via Google Talk and that you have a 200 URL limit with the AdSense filter. I blew up at Yahoo! over stealing Google's searches, but MSN does the same thing. And I also was upset with Yahoo! over how they handle tracking URL arguments. But Yahoo!'s del.icio.us did announce a new social network badge, yea, I made a friend. That wraps up this weeks search news, see you in San Jose!
