24 September 2009Google Sidewiki allows YOU to contribute to websites

Finally a Google innovation I am not sure about.

While I am a big fan of opening up the web, websites remain the only avenue for businesses to promote their thoughts. Wiki-ing it up opens it up for competitors and spammers to sidewiki all sorts of garbage that may or may not affect the business or product or service being described in the main body.

Funnily, the browser plugin is not available for Google's own browser - Chrome - yet. But to download Sidewiki and have a play on Firefox or Internet Explorer, click here.

My early testing does indicate that Google Chrome V3 is faster; and for the fastest browser out of the lot to get even faster, that is a significant achievement.

Google really has set the 'speed' bar when it comes to browsers.

07 September 2009Are courts the biggest threat to Google?

Google Books allows searchers to preview a good number of scanned (digitised) pages of books from many publishers. On the left column, there are links to online booksellers where readers can click through to in order to purchase the actual book.

Publishers from all around the world are up in arms about this tactic, which they see as a threat to their traditional way of marketing and selling books. So they are, continent-by-continent, taking Google to court.

A recent report suggests Google has agreed to pay A$125million to European publishers, and agreed to seek permission before digitising and publishing previews of European publishers in the future.

While the amount is nothing huge for a company of Google's stature, it cannot be in the interest of any company of innovators to be dogged by legal question-marks constantly hanging over its head.
