Google Plans to Introduce a PC Operating System

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Not yet official but leaking through the press is that Google plans to take Microsoft head on with a new operating system designed for PC’s (read more).  Will this turn out to be a good thing or just another money pit for Google?  It seems as though Google has lost sight of what it does well.  Let me rephrase that, Google has lost sight of what they used to do well. 

Once the cutting edge of search engine technology Google dominated the market.  However, over the past few years they have tried their hands in email, spam filtering, hosted word processing and video hosted just to name a few.  The problem is many are complaining Google’s bread and butter search technology is “broken” and they have not made any advancement in its technology in years.

So, what do you think google should be focusing on?  Do you think Google plans for a new operating system is a good proposition?

Bing show significant increase in paid paid advertisers (PPC).

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

bing_vs_googleBing now has another feather in their cap.  According to Efficient Frontier’s latest report, Bing’s share of paid clicks increased to 13% from 8% prior to its launch two weeks ago. If this trend continues Google will have something to really worry about.

This is in addition to other positive indicators we’ve observed over the last few weeks such as Bing getting the number two spot in search market share for a day. The fact that Bing is showing some positive performance in the search industry is a good thing for all of us.  This industry has needed some competition for years to force research and development in all search engines.  The consumer will be the one to win in this competition.

This is all simply preliminary data which may turn out to be nothing at all.

What do you think of all this?

So, can Bing help you?  Here is a video Microsoft released showing some of the new features of Bing.  Let us know your thought.
