Google Phone Rumors Follow FCC Decision
Lots of buzz today regarding the Wall Street Journal story that claims Google is cozying up to wireless operators to create a Google-rich phone complete with search, email and other mobile gems, while also developing their own handset at the same time.
Rumor is that those who have seen Google’s phone prototypes (yay, unnamed sources!) say the phone isn’t as "revolutionary" … Read more

Keynote Conversation With Steve Berkowitz
[So far this morning I have chatted with Kim Krause-Berg and her hubby Eric, been taunted by Tamar and Barry, and got to buddy up with Danny Sullivan (major thanks to Paul Mooney!) for a bit (He sat next to me.

The 950 Penalty or a New Ranking Theory?
I should preface this by saying everything you read below is pure speculation, but the fact that it’s pure speculation is why this post is so fun and you should read every single word without getting up for more water, checking your email, refreshing your MyBlogLog profile or using the restroom.
If you haven’t noticed the much-hyped debate regarding the maybe … Read more

Google in bed with terrorists; known to kick puppies.
You’ve probably heard rumblings of this one already, but I think it’s worth noting, if only because the story just won’t die.
Basically, Webmaster Radio’s Jim Hedger went on record in SES Chicago claiming that Google was funding terrorism by serving ads on sites that are connected with known terrorists groups (including site properties within controversy-laden Orkut), and not being proactive … Read more

That rumor was borne out today with the announcement that Yahoo! would be “re-aligning” their organization in order to more effectively focus on their customers. What exactly does that mean? Well, in … Read more

Search Engines Were Never Meant to be Human
Whose idea was it to let a search engine speak? Did someone really find this amusing? I don’t know, but you’ve probably already been introduced to Ms. Dewey, the search engine with “a human face” that offers ‘witty banter’ while bringing up your search results.

Google and YouTube: What is going on?
Things are starting to get both very interesting and very, very confusing.
Google and YouTube reportedly took a break from their own (very much alleged) negotiations to pen parallel licensing agreements. YouTube has signed deals with Sony BMG, Universal Music and CBS; while Google has penned deals with Sony and Warner (YouTube’s already got this one in the bag).

Friday Recap
It is being widely over-reported that Google may be in talks to purchase YouTube for a sum of $1.6 billion. Since TechCrunch reports the rumors have only a 40 percent chance of being partially true, and this isn’t the first, second, or third YouTube rumor we’ve heard lately, we’ll hold out before coming up with fun ideas for the renaming … Read more
