Google Enables Simpler SearchWiki Notes Sharing
May 22, 2009 at 8:23am ET by Barry Schwartz
Brian Ussery noticed Google has changed the way you can share your SearchWiki notes in the search results. If you are logged in to Google and you have notes on search results, you can share those notes with friends. Here is how:
(1) Search on the query at Google and the results should show up with a link at the top to "share these notes":
(2) Click the link and a URL will show up in a text box, copy and paste the link and send it to a friend:
(3) Here is a preview of that result for you to see:

Google SVP Rosenberg’s Tome On Social Challenges, The Internet And Google’s Future
Feb 17, 2009 at 9:59am ET by Greg Sterling
Google's SVP of Product Management Jonathan Rosenberg posted yesterday on the Google Blog, turning an internal memo into a public article. He used the occasion of the US President's Day holiday to discuss Google's sense of the political and social challenges of the moment as well as a vision for the future of search and the company. It's very comprehensive and dense; there are some familiar sounding themes and there are some novel bits.
It's long and I'm not going to do a deep dive on the piece (I'll leave that to Danny if he wants). Instead I'll pull out and comment on a few things that s [...]

Google Testing “Preferred Sites” Option In Search Preferences
Jan 19, 2009 at 9:29am ET by Barry Schwartz
Google Operating System discovered a new experiment Google is running named Preferred Sites. In short, users who are in this experiment will be able to add a list of sites in their search preferences page as their "preferred sites." Google will then use that information to show those sites in a higher ranking order in the Google results for that user, when it makes sense. Let me share some examples of how this works.
If you set cnn.com to be a preferred site and you are logged in to your Google account and conduct a search for space station, Google may bump up a result from CNN to the top [...]

Google Rolling Out “SearchWiki”? Move Results Up, Hide Them Or Suggest Your Own
Oct 29, 2008 at 8:56am ET by Barry Schwartz
A year ago today, I wrote about an experimental feature Google was showing off. I titled that article Google Like/Don’t Like: Move Results Up, Hide Them Or Suggest Your Own. Now it appears Google might be rolling the feature out, at least to a subset of Google searchers.
NOTE: THIS IS NOW LIVE FOR EVERYONE. SEE Google SearchWiki Launches, Lets You Build Your Own Search Results Page.
We have several blog posts across the web documenting them seeing these features in their Google web search results. Those blog posts include Justin Hileman, Garett Rogers, Alex Chitu, a German blog and [...]

Google Video Now Offering “Personalized” Video Recommendations
Jul 17, 2008 at 3:10pm ET by Barry Schwartz
The Google Video Blog announced the launch of personalized video recommendations based on your search history. To see them, make sure you are logged into Google and visit video.google.com. In the middle of the page, you should see, "Recommended videos."
Google uses your past search history and your past video viewing history to compile your personalized video recommendation list. You can view up to six recommended videos at any time, and there is a next button to see more.
Here are my recommended videos:
Notice a couple from Matt Cutts, one on Linux and then a few on Jewish topics.
