Google Gets Cooking With Recipe View

Google has introduced a new way to help people better find recipes with a new feature called Recipe View. Recipe View allows users to narrow their search results to show only recipes, and it displays ratings, ingredients and pictures on the search results page. When searching for a recipe, a link for "Recipes" will appear in the left-hand navigation panel of the search results page. When a user clicks the link, their search results will narrow to show only recipe results. From there users can search for specific recipes, or more open-ended topics like holidays, events or a favorite chef. Recipe View features three filters: *Ingredient: Include or exclude recipes that contain a certain ingredient. *Prep time: View recipes that can be prepared in less than 15, 30, or 60 minutes. *Calories: View recipes with less than 100, 300, or 500 calories. Recipe View is built on Rich Snippet markup technology. Any recipe publisher can add markup to his website to be part of Recipe View. Recipe View is rolling out now in the U.S. and in Japan, and will be available in more countries soon. Peter Zmijewski who is called as Innovator, investor, internet marketing guru and entrepreneur.

Google Music in 2 Months?

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

"Google Music" is one of those legends that seems like it's been around as long as Google itself. Rumors pop up from time to time, then they die back down a bit. Then they always come back.

Right now, they're in full force due to some comments made by Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha at Mobile World Congress. Guardian quotes him:

"If you look at Google Mobile services via Android today, there's a video service, there's a music service – that is, there will be a music service." He added that the value of the upgrade to the Android system, known as "Honeycomb", which will power the forthcoming Motorola Xoom tablet is that "it adds video services and music services".

Motorola Xoom - Will it Come with Google Music?

In actuality, Android product manager Gaurav Jain indicated in an interview last summer, that Google Music and Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) would come out together in time for the holidays. Obviously, that didn't happen, but just because the timing was off was not reason to think it wasn't going to happen.

Currently, the release, which is expected to complement the release of Motorola's Xoom tablet, is expected within the next two months.

Is Human Google Phone Support the Internet’s Bigfoot?

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

Everyone wants to believe that something spectacular and mysterious is true. Among the many ‘legends’ are Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster and more.

Well, for the Internet marketing set one of these legends is the mysterious monster that isn’t so much a being but an action. It’s called the Legend of Humanoid Google Customer Service Support Entity. Believe it or not, there has been a sitting but we are not ready to say that this mythical creature truly exists.

Mike Blumenthal talks about his strange encounter with this mysterious creature that is like John Carpenter’s Fog. It rolls in and does its work then slinks off. Very few see this in action and we suspect that even fewer have lived to tell about it. It looks like Mike has though as he reports from his local Internet marketing blog in a post today.

I have been working to un-merge two listings on Google since November 5th.

This last Thursday I received the following voice mail on my answering machine after hours. To prove to the world that it really happened I am posting a copy of the message.

Hi. This message is for Mike. My name is Joe and I am calling from Google.

I received an elevated concern from one of our sales representatives named James who apparently you spoke with around January 3rd. We were able to take a look at the two you listings you described to James, the Westcott House and the Bayfront Marin House, the two bed and breakfast that are located in St Augustine Fl.

And I just wanted to let you know that I was able to split those listings and during our next update of all the data on Google you should see that those listings have been split apart and if you have any further questions or problems please don’t hesitate to contact us on-line on our Google.com/help.

Microsoft Search Head Gets Big Promotion

Microsoft announced today that Satya Nadella has been promoted, gaining the title "President of Microsoft's Server and Tools Business." Nadella used to be a senior vice president, and was previously in charge of the Online Services Division.  That made him responsible for some very important things, as a Microsoft statement called Nadella "instrumental in leading the technical efforts for several critical milestones such as the launch of Bing, new releases of MSN, and the integration of Yahoo! across Bing and adCenter." So it's safe to assume that Microsoft remains more than pleased with how Bing's doing.  Nadella's promotion amounts to much more than a new office and title. Indeed, after spending 19 years with the company, Microsoft indicated, "Nadella will oversee the overall strategy, engineering, marketing and product development for Microsoft's server, tools and cloud platform efforts.  This includes developing the technology road map and vision to drive adoption of the company's products, tools and services, and delivering the company's next generation of cloud solutions for business customers." Nadella's replacing Bob Muglia, who should help him make the transition before leaving Microsoft this summer. He says, "I see great opportunity for Microsoft to grow the business and also lead the way in the transformation of enterprise IT.  I'm excited to work with such a high-caliber team to chart the path for our continued success today and growth in the future."

More Yahoo Search BOSS Details Released http://amplify.com/u/apjbj

More Yahoo Search BOSS Details Released

Sometime this summer, the latest version of Yahoo Search BOSS (Build Your Own Search Service) will launch, and on March 1st, Yahoo intends to provide lots more technical details.  But this morning, Yahoo shared what many developers really need to know: pricing info, along with its search advertising and branding policies. We'll go ahead and paste Yahoo's full table of pricing info below so that you can have a look at it.  It'll be pretty key in determining how everyone reacts to whatever else Yahoo has planned, after all. Here are the rest of the details the company released.  A post on the Yahoo Search Blog stated, "We encourage BOSS developers to use Yahoo! Search advertising to build a sustainable business for their applications, and those qualifying for Yahoo! Search advertising will be served ads in their BOSS API calls.  Through the Yahoo! and Microsoft Search Alliance, we believe we have a robust marketplace and search advertising platform that will meet customers' needs.  In addition, we encourage developers to experiment with other advertising formats such as display." Yahoo's hoping all that will impress developers.  If that's the case, its branding policy will then kick in and let the company put its name in front of more end users. The blog post indicated, "With the new version, we will be publishing Yahoo! branding guidelines for BOSS and will require all applications to include recognition of the Yahoo! brand.  We want you to be able to leverage the Yahoo! brand to help signify the valuable platform on which your applications are built."

Google hotpot spreads to a global scale http://amplify.com/u/apcda

Google hotpot spreads to a global scale

When it comes to the world of modern technologies, Google has a thriving grasp of almost every major division. However, there are two “areas for improvement”: local, where Google’s failed Groupon bid and lack of features make it a weak competitor, and social, where the crash of Google Buzz positioned the company in the worst possible ways. However, there’s one Google feature that does a lot to establish a greater foothold in both these arenas. That service is Hotpot, and Google’s most recent addition to this information rich service is the spread of Hotpot into 38 languages and search engines around the globe. For those of you unfamiliar with Hotpot, the service is an evolution of Google Places. It adds image rich features and advanced rating systems to the local search aspect of Google. Few Google products, if any, have been released with such intensity; Google did a series of major release events in Portland, Oregon, and have followed this up with promotions across all other available channels. Several social features, including a “friends” component and business suggestions to friends rated highly, have been added since release. Further, Android phones that have Google Maps now automatically have a Hotpot widget that allows for easy local business location and rating. The recent Google announcement shows the service spreading even further than before. First, the search engine results page will now contain suggested businesses for any local searches. Second, the SERP suggestions and Hotpot itself are being spread to a global scale through translation into 38 languages. With a global scale, an even deeper focus on friends, and a strong company focus, there’s no doubt that Hotpot is one of the up-and-coming features for Google for 2011.

The Daily: An e-Paper For The iPad

Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp has launched The Daily, a e-paper-based daily newspaper exclusively for the iPad, and the early results are about what you’d expect:  rich, iPad-friendly content delivered with a subscription-based model. In regards to The Daily, feelings of “meh” come from the product itself.  While the newscycle is all over the launch, has anyone stopped to ask who wants this application?  Even the most basic of iPad users surely understand that news can be gathered from a multitude of places, places even the iPad can access. As indicated, the e-paper is a subscription-based product.  Users can either pay $40 a year or $.99 a week, and it will be available at iTunes.  According to the BBC, The Daily will feature articles, graphics, and video designed to work with Apple’s tablet, as Apple’s preference for HTML 5-based videos continues unabated. Perhaps the biggest news is Apple’s use of a subscription model for the iPad.  The BBC says: Apple has used the tie-up with News Corp to change the way it charges for subscriptions. It means that any publisher offering content via the iPad will have to use Apple's payment method, known as in-app purchase, which in turn means Apple will get a 30% share of the revenue made from any subscriptions. So while Rupert Murdoch’s launch gets all the publicity, Apple quietly positioned their subscription business model for their tablet to take even more developer money.  That’s right, in order to get your subscription-based content on the iPad, you have to hand over 30 percent of your profits to Apple. The honor comes from Apple allowing your content to be on the iPad, I suppose. As for The Daily, Gizmodo has some more details about what subscribers get from the e-paper: • Over 100 pages of original news, life, entertainment, opinion and sports - • Every single day of the year • Original video content • A selection of articles read aloud • 360 degree photos you can explore by swiping • Immersive photography • Interactive charts, info-graphics and clickable ‘hot spots' • The option to save articles to read later • Web-friendly versions of articles you can share via Twitter, Facebook and email • In-app comments - including audio comments • Your local weather • Your favorite sports teams' scores, news and feeds • Crossword and Sudoku puzzles Apparently, in order to save the newspaper industry, the content needs to appear on tablet-based computing devices.
