Today Google announced its new upcoming product, Google Wave. The two well known brothers (Lars and Jens Rasmussen) were working on this project for the last 2 years in Google’s office in Australia. Google Wave will be available later this year and it will be a combination of email, IM.. It reminds me the iPhone text/SMS structure and the Facebook messages among many people. I am excited about this product.. It will be WOW!

Take a look on the video of the Google Wave presentation at the IO 2009 event.

This presentation gives a great overview of the company’s overall strategy and the reasons it has become what it is today.

Tonight, Google changed its interface. Google Blog

The changes are called SearchWiki, and are a dramatic departure from Google’s streamlined, algorithm-rules approach to search. It takes features from Digg to allow users to vote site results up or down, as well as features from Wikia Search to allow users to add comments, move search results, add search results, etc. The result are customized results that appear every time you do that search in the future (assuming you are logged in).

Here’s a demo video:

Google continued to increase its U.S. search share dominance in October, widening its lead over Yahoo and Microsoft. In October, Google’s share of Web searches by people in the U.S. rose to 71.7 percent, up from 71.2 percent in September and 64.5 percent in October of 2007, according to market research company Hitwise.

At the same time, Yahoo’s share slipped to 17.7 percent, from 18.1 percent a month earlier and 21.7 percent a year ago. Microsoft’s share rose slightly in October to 5.4 percent from 5.36 percent in September, but the down from 7.4 percent in October of last year. Internet searches at Ask.com fell to 3.5 percent from 3.6 percent a month ago, and from 4.8 percent last year.

Hitwise bases its data on a sample of 10 million U.S. Internet users over four week rolling periods. The Microsoft figures include Live.com and MSN Search but does not include Club.Live.com.

The remaining 43 search engines Hitwise tracks accounted for 1.6 percent of U.S. searches in October.

According to TechCrunch’s “multiple (if thin) reports,” Apple may be working on a search engine in the interest of weaning themselves from Google’s teet. Given that Apple defaults to Google search on Mac and iPhone versions of Safari, and given that Google is sort of competition now with Android, the rumors make sense…but given that Apple does not appear to be recruiting search programmers from other companies, and given that you need experienced programmers to build your engine, the rumors don’t make sense. So I guess that all we can conclude is that there’s nothing conclusive yet.

Today, a new video came to YouTube with a very good editing.

Google and T-Mobile finally took the wraps off the T-Mobile G1, the first phone to use the Internet giant’s Android operating system.

The phone, the first of several to come, crystallizes Google’s ambition to create an open mobile environment that gives users access to a wide variety of applications and the mobile Internet, which Google hopes to capitalize on through advertising.

It also provides a boost to T-Mobile, giving it a flagship handset that embodies its belief in the power of the mobile Internet.

“We haven’t been able to rely on the integration of the Internet and mobile phone to bring us together,” said Cole Brodman, chief technology and innovation officer for T-Mobile USA. “We’re here to change that.”

The device, built by HTC of Taiwan, takes the shape of the Apple iPhone but offers a slide-out keyboard similar to T-Mobile’s Sidekick. It will go on sale Oct. 22 for $179 with a two-year contract and will be offered with a monthly $25 unlimited data plan with some messaging, or $35 for unlimited data and messaging – plus the monthly fee for telephone service.
