Yahoo users will now find it much easier to sign up for a Google account then before with the implementation of OpenID . With OpenID users can log in to multiple websites using just one existing account. It is an open, decentralized standard in which users can be authenticated to gain access to things like their various social media accounts with just one name.

Adding another Apple-fighting feature to it’s roster, Google will be launching its web-to-TV service this fall in the U.S. and worldwide next year. CEO Eric Schmidt announced at the IFA consumer electronics trade fair in Berlin, that the service will allow users the ability of full Internet browsing on their television sets and that Google will be working with content providers, though they doubt they will get any actual content from them

According to sources very close to the project ( as reported by Wired ), Google’s Andy Rubin has been in talks with various music labels about a music service that the search giant has been trying to launch. Now, according to these sources, we may get said service by Christmas. Google continues to build weapons for it’s arsenal in the war it is seemingly waging against Apple.

Today’s Google doodle is making more than a few people pretty upset with the search engine.

Our industry is chock full of advise about how the best approach is to go for phrases that aren’t necessarily the most competitive – to go for the lower hanging fruit.  Concepts in this area usually emphasize the notion that if you have to choose between two phrases that you’ll optimize for, if you go for the one that has less actual search volume and less competition you’ll be doing your client justice, and you’ll make your job easier. This way of thinking I put in the “if you shoot for the moon and fall short, you’ll end up among the stars” mentality.  Which is actually an extremely inaccurate notion, and in the long haul, will do more harm than good.  Instead, I say “Shoot for the farthest galaxy away – and if you fall short, you really will end up among the stars.” The Shoot for the Moon Fallacy Okay so let’s take that saying.  It may be, on the surface, that this saying gives a lot of people great hope.  Hope that if they reach way beyond earth-bound goals, even if you come up short, you’ll still end up way beyond.  Except it’s bogus.  It’s a hollow motivation. Because even if you make it to the moon, (let alone fall short), you’re still going to be 150 MILLION KILOMETERS short of even OUR Star, the Sun.

Okay, so you’ve decided to launch fully localized, multilingual versions of your company’s website – that’s great news. And you’ve even painstakingly researched all the correct keywords to properly optimize each website for its target audience – even better. The key thing to remember with any website is that it should be regularly updated with fresh content and, ultimately, it should be current
