An exclusive look inside Ground Truth, the secretive program to build the world's best accurate maps.
Behind every Google Map, there is a much more complex map that's the key to queries but hidden from view. The deep map contains the logic of places: their no-left-turns and freeway on-ramps, speed limits and traffic conditions. This is the data that Google uses to navigate you from point A to point B. Last week, Google showed me the internal map and demonstrated how it was built- the first time the company has let anyone see how the project it calls GT, or "Ground Truth," actually works. Google opened up at a key moment in its evolution. The company began as an online search company, but then the mobile world exploded. Now, where you're searching from has become almost as important as what you're searching for. Google responded by creating an operating system, brand, and ecosystem that has become the only significant rival to Apple's iOS. And for good reason. If Google's mission is to organize all the world's information, the most important challenge -- far larger than indexing the web -- is to take the world's physical information and make it accessible and useful...

We believe technology should work for you — to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don't. A team within our Google[x] group started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment. Follow along with us at http://g.co/projectglass as we share some of our ideas and stories. We'd love to hear yours, too. What would you like to see from Project Glass? Via Sakis Koukouvis

Από την 1η Μαρτίου 2012, όλες οι υπηρεσίες που θα παρέχει η Google θα διέπονται από μια, νέα, ενιαία πολιτική απορρήτου. Σκοπός, να μας προσφέρει αποτελέσματα σαν να μας γνωρίζει καλά και να μας σερβίρει διαφημίσεις που πραγματικά μας ενδιαφέρουν. Πόσα όμως ξέρει για μας η Google;

"Anyone can type a word or phrase into the Google window and hope for the best. Some even use quotation marks, or use autocomplete to their advantage. But how about putting a dash before a word to exclude it from your search? Or using the tilde–like a boss–to search for synonyms for a term as well?" Via Beth Dichter

Sometimes it's to ask what it takes to that Google ranks us on the first page... :-) Here is an article that will give us more information on this subject. [note Martin Gysler]
Your blog is a good read. Everyone says so.
Although “everyone” is really just people you already know. Like your Mum.
So why isn’t your blog being found by other people? The millions and millions of people hungrily consuming blog content out there in the global online space we call the Internet?
The cold, hard truth is that Google hates your blog. And it’s nothing personal. You just don’t have anything that Google wants.
Creating high-quality, relevant content is a must if you want your blog to be noticed by search engines but it’s only part of the picture. If you’re not sure if Google really hates your blog, or whether it’s just ambivalent, then step through these warning signs.
1. You don’t know which keywords your readers are using
The very heart of search engine optimization is understanding what people are searching for online and aligning your own content to those searches.

"Google Earth was one of the very first pieces of software that I began to create educational resources with. As I put it in one of my first ever blog posts 5 years ago: ”This app won me over straight away.” The engaging environment really struck a chord with me and I remember fondly my first forays into using it to support learning. It has developed so much over the years...." Via Anne Whaits
