Google’s search result for Microsoft documentation

It’s been many times that I noticed that Microsoft’s documentation on technical stuff, such as TechNet or MSDN are not ranked on the first page of Google search … Is that so that no one really digging that stuff, not so much linking to theirs to bump up the PageRank?

code search by google

another awesome service provided google, the code search, capitalizing on their search capabilities. many open source repositories are now easily searched with this, which i believe will only make them even better especially in terms of having more eyeballs looking at them, and having them fixed … sweet stuff!

google + youtube

there’s a possiblity of a $1.5 billion acquisition of youtube by google … although it’s not confirmed by either party. this move is a little questionable though as how would google position it with their own newly launched google videos?

i have to admit though, while google as search engines and maps are so cool, it’s a different little story with their videos, maybe they are late-comers into the party, but this moves seems to solidify what the userbase out there is using in terms of social collaborating tool, though a big question mark is “does it really worth that much?” …

it would be interesting to see the further develpment on this …

it’s home sweet home

as many storied start-ups begin from a little garage in silicon valley, google’s own story isn’t that much different, at the same time inspiring. well, today google has bought its once playground as their own properties, although details of its usage has yet to be released
