If you’ve been watching TV, you may have seen the Ask algorithm commercials. The one I keep seeing is a little kid asking his dad if they have a good algorithm. I’m not sure what audience they are targeting but I doubt many people will understand it. Heck, I’m a search geek and I don’t […]

Google Loves Apple? iGoogle Launched
I was reading over at TechCrunch that Google personalized homepages were re-launching as iGoogle. When I logged into my account, sure enough, there it was; iGoogle.
