I didn’t realize Google App had Voice features as well. Though I think Google App is a very useful app, I haven’t played around with all of its features yet.

Thanks for the informative article Matt

I bought an iPhone about two month ago and I really like it. I also downloaded the Google Mobile app for iPhone and it’s cool to have all services bundled in one app since in this way you save space on the iPhone desk, since you don’t need to have separate icons for each service (Gmail, GReader,…). But still I’m now having a separate icon for Gmail again. That’s because the Google Mobile app always opens a new tab on Safari, although there may still be a Gmail tab open from last time. That’s a bit stupid and it would be cool if that could be removed.

Thanks,
Juri

Thanks Matt. Pictures say a thousand words, makes reading the article much easier.

If the reviews were weighted and your site went up because of it that could unfairly take away from legitimate companies.

For example,

You have 3 reviews

I pay 500 people and am now #1 for a hot keyword

Is that really fair? NO.

As we verified at Pubcon, competitors will use this new tool to destroy eachother. Unfair.

when will Google remove websites that DON’T have reviews from SERPs where users include the word “review”? Buzzillions never shows a product without a review but for the query below our site is third behind two websites with no reviews (our page has 3 real reviews). We use microformats to indicate the review content in our markup. Obviously our site will benefit from a change like this but so would end users’ experiences.

I usually just sit back and wait for Google to figure these things out but this example bugs me. Hopefully it will bug you :) We are not a scraper site. We have direct relationships with all the retailers whose reviews we carry and thus have full rights to show the entire review to users which we feel is a good user experience.

Cheers, Jim

just found out that you have been writing safe search (Yes, I know this is off-topic). Has anyone ever considered using Google safesearch as a kind of proxie, whereby you can only view websites on your local computer which come up in a Google search with Safesearch filter on?
I.e. to go to a website a quick background google check is made to see if website is found in safe filter mode, if yes, you can visit the website without any problems, else not.
I have for years been trying to come up with a good filtering mechanism, and this is one I liked the most.
While most of my kids are now too old for this kind of filter (i have been carrying this idea around for a few years and even considered embedding such a function directly in modems to make it harder to bypass) it is still an idea i like, which would be an easy and most reliable method for filtering at home. I would be very interested in your feedback on this idea.

All the best,
:)
Steffan
