Teh Google Updates and Owning the Interblarbs

With the H-U-G-E change of Teh Google's Search Engine to an instantaneous search format comes big changes to stay on the top of traffic. I never thought about what instant search would do to getting hits, but since I have watched it in operation, I have come to the conclusion that keywords have become even more important.

And they need to be the first words at all times that is possible. I think that you know why, right?

If you have not used Teh Google this week, you are in for a HUGE surprise. There is nothing the same anymore. The whole bloggynets traffic thingy is screwed up forever, now.

In an attempt to keep this Testament to Mediocrity hanging tough in these tough interwebby times, I changed the subscription buttons and the menu at the header of this blork. Lemme know what you think. Do you see the new RSS and E-Mail subscription buttons? Just so you know, currently we have 146 RSS feed subscribers. I wonder if we'll pick up more with the BIG buttons?

Here are a few ways that Instant Search can tromp on your wallet.

Maybe these tips from the AdWords blog can help bridge that gap.

Google Mobile has the screens for Maps on Android. I have yet to try this, but the Maps works exceedingly well on the Droid X. I have no clue how Maps works on the iPhone because, I am not gay.

Another Android WIN that I use is the Teh Google Voice. The voice function in Search for the Android is 100% for me so far. Most of y'all have heard my voice. Obviously, Android speaks REDNECK purdy danged guud.

Teh Google Docs App Store is six months old, already. And has over 200 Apps. Can we stop using Outlook YET?

Here, go learn about exactly what is going on with Docs.

Speaking of Outlook and its ANTONYM, G-Mail, here are five tips for using the new Priority Inbox in G-Mail.

Just so y'all know, Teh Google Local stuff is a good traffic driving hawg, too. Here's a case study on Places. Currently, the traffic for my business site is almost exclusively from Teh Google Local Search and FAILbook.

Is there really someone left on Planet Earth that doesn't know how to change their blog background? You have GOT to be kidding. Haven't we all been blogging at least five years? Isn't that enough time to learn the easy stuff?

By the way, Teh Google Buzz has added a feature much like "Alerts" called Track. I think that Teh Google has realized that RSS is slowly falling apart. If FAILbook ads an RSS reader feature worth a crap, Teh Google Reader might be the next Wave. Remember, Bloglines is gone after the end of this year.

As much as I lurve Teh Google products, the Google Guys' political activism concerns me and I keep an eye on the Public Policy blog. Here is a post on Teh Google's desires to advance Google in the white spaces on the television airwaves. I am not so sure that I want Teh Google developing a "Family Safety Center." Their liberal policies might start to censor Christian sites, conservatives sites, and help to start to promote the idiocy of environ-terrorism at the same time. I'll have my Teh Google products served up with no Communism, thanks very much.

Here are some more tools for p0wning the intertubes.
