Sure, I Could Join a Google-Based Social Network But Why?

Image
After much rumor and speculation about a new Google social feature of some kind, the Internet giant finally unveiled what it calls its +1 service today. The service as Om explained in his post on the launch is an attempt to add social validation to search, via Googles version of the Facebook like button. While these kinds of social cues may help improve search, however, the move also appears to be the latest attempt to jump-start some kind of Google-oriented social network, something that seems to have substantially less likelihood of success, at least as its currently configured. Why? Because people dont go to Google to be social. As Om describes in his post, and as Search Engine Land lays out in more detail , the main feature of the +1 system is that it allows users to vote on search results or ads. Their vote is then displayed next to the result for anyone in their Google-based social network. And what is that Google network? Good question. At this point, its people in your Gmail...

White spaces are a go! (at least in Wilmington)

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski Ignoring the threats by Congress to kill off white spaces , the Federal Communications Commission on Thursday green-lighted commercial operations of the first networks and devices to tap into the airwave gaps between TV broadcasts , potentially setting off a whole new wave of innovation inunlicensedwireless broadband access akin to that produced by Wi-Fi. The FCC is starting out small with operations limited to Wilmington, N.C., beginning Jan. 26. The commission wants to ensure that there are no interference problems between new white space networks and the wireless microphones that currently access the spectrum at big performance venues. Mics and broadband devices will essentially be sharing the airwaves, so the FCC has set up a database, run by Spectrum Bridge , (see disclosure below), where concert venues or theaters can register their events. Any white spaces devices accessing those airwaves will periodically check in with that database, which would ...

Report: We are a YouTube nation

Image
Further evidence that we are all YouTube addicts comes from the Pew Internet & American Life Project this morning: 71 percent of U.S. adults used video sharing sites like YouTube and Vimeo in May, according to a new Pew report , compared to 66 percent a year earlier. Also interesting is the percentage of users who told researchers that they stopped by such a site yesterday, which grew to 28 percent. In other words, more than a quarter of us go to YouTube and its competitors on any given day. A few other tidbits worth noting: Parents frequent video sites more than the general public, with 81 percent of parents saying that they use these kinds of sites, but only 61 percent of non-parents admit to it. Theres also some racial difference in how viewers tune into online video: Around 69 percent of the white folks surveyed visit YouTube & Co., compared to 79 percent of all the people of color. Of course, the popularity of video sharing sites isnt limited to the U.S.: Earlier today, a ...
