Once again the Google Summer of Code is upon us. The symfony team has submitted an application (yet to be officially accepted). Now we are looking for some ideas for projects and searching for students who might be interested in participating in Google Summer of Code this year. If you want to sign up as a student and help your favorite framework (and earn $ 4,500 Google paid to each student) you must meet the following requirements:
Tis the season for everyone to chime in with their predictions for the upcoming year — and here are mine. The past year was a good one for Google, their stock gained $200 per share, several new products/services/features were launched, their market share rose to nearly 60%, they have managed to keep their advertising earnings impressive, and have invested significant time and money into the mobile space. · Google Apps got several new features for enterprise users — including Postini, a company Google acquired. · Google Personalized Homepage got “themes” · “Universal Search” for Google Search lets users use a single search box to find anything from news to videos · Street View on Google Maps · Sky View in Google Earth This year will continue along the same trajectory. Features will be of more importance than actual products, with the exception of a few. More importantly, this will be the year of the API — it started in 2007, but in 2008 things like the Open Social API and the Android API will become very popular, and there will be more. Google Knol will be launched, and immediately be competition for Wikipedia in the SERPS This new product is set to take on Wikipedia — I am guessing it will be launched sometime after the official launch of Wikia, the over-hyped “Google Killer”. Google Knol is a service that will let subject experts create articles, and get paid for them if they are popular. We will learn more about Google TV They are already experimenting with TV ads, but I think there will be some sort of product release coming in 2008. I’ve been waiting for this forever it seems, and I’m beginning to think it will never show up. Even if there isn’t a dedicated application on the horizon, Google services have been starting to integrate “shared storage” — the stuff you can buy via subscription from Google — and it you will see more Google services using it as its back-end storage system. It seems that buying companies, or at least the people working at them, is what Google likes to do best. Google will continue picking up small companies, and maybe we will even see another massive billion dollar acquisition like YouTube or DoubleClick this year. Partnerships are important for Google too though. I think we will see a stronger partnership between Apple and Google this year — possibly in the wireless world. Rumor has it that Google and Apple bid on the 700mhz spectrum together. For more Google 2008 predictions, you should definitely check out Blogoscoped. Now it’s your turn to chime in — add your predictions to the comments below!

Il est deja loin le temps où Google ne mettait a jour son index qu'une fois par mois! C'etait la periode mythique de la Google Dance pendant laquelle les resultats oscillaient entre l'ancien et le nouvel index, selon le data center utilise pour repondre a la requete de l'internaute. Ensuite, Google a mis en place ce qu'on a appele l'everflux, c'est-a-dire la mise a jour permanente de son index (et a fortiori des resultats). Le systeme actuel de crawl de Google Google peut decouvrir des nouvelles URL de 3 facons: Pour recuperer le contenu de ces nouvelles pages, Google a cree 3 types de robots pour crawler les 3 couches de pages associees: Google calcule pour chaque page un score de crawl, qui lui sert a determiner a quelle couche elle sera associee. Certaines thematiques sont traitees de facon specifique, comme par exemple l'actualite. Schema du crawl de Google Au sujet de l'analyse du texte entourant le lien, Google donne un exemple dans son brevet: il s'agit d'une page A qui fait un lien texte vers une autre page B contenant une photo du Mont Everest: Meme si ce lien n'est pas optimal pour le positionnement de la page B (car l'anchor text ne contient pas de mot-cle strategique), Google peut tenir compte du fait qu'il y a des mots-cles juste a cote du lien. Cette information est stockee dans ce que les auteurs du brevet appellent la carte des ancres (Anchor Map). C'est peut-etre rassurant mais il est indeniable qu'il vaut mieux avoir un ou plusieurs mots cibles dans l'anchor text... Voici un schema sur la prise en compte du contexte semantique des backlinks par Google: Les informations decrites ici sont issues d'un brevet, il n'est donc pas garanti que le systeme decrit ici soit en place. Par ailleurs, ce brevet Anchor tag indexing in a web crawler system est tres vieux (il a ete depose en juillet 2003 et accepte fin 2007) et Google a sans doute adapte son systeme depuis... · attribue a Google sous le numero 7,308,643 On discute du fonctionnement du crawl de Google dans le forum WebRankInfo.
Depuis l\’ete 2007, Google a considerablement ameliore son systeme de crawl : non seulement le moteur semble arriver a indexer les tres nombreuses pages creees chaque jour sur le web, mais il n\’est plus rare de voir des pages indexees en quelques minutes a peine !

Monday, August 25, 2008 This video is from last week’s annual Google Dance event, which allows Google and non-Google employees to meet up after the Search Engine Strategies. The robot shown in the video costs around $1000, depending on the version. As for the digital caricature drawings that were made, I’m not sure which tool they used but the Cintiq is available from around $1000-2000. For comparison, there’s some pictures from 2002 available (with people like Marissa Mayer and Larry Page showing up). [Thanks Ross Dunn!]
