How to earn money with Google Plus
Well, you can’t. But some people can. You might ask yourself how. Well it’s simple, they sell Google +1’s. And it isn’t very cheap either. 100 Google +1’s for 29.99$. So Google, this is the future you imagine for us ? Can i Google –1? I wonder what Matt Cutts has to say about this [...]
Goodbye Gmail
I was saying last time that i really don’t like the new Google interface, actually lots of people don’t like it judging by the number of visitors i get from keywords related to that post. But Google don’t listens anymore to their users. Their have gotten into a position from where they can dictate how [...]
The social media riddle
To paraphrase a friend, it looks like the crusades for the Holy Grail of the Church of the Social Media are at their peak. Before explaining you why i think this whole social media stuff is a big waste of time, please watch the following 4 minute video: The video above is not made [...]
My two cents on the new Google layouts
Lately Google started to change the layout of all its products to the so called Google+ layout. Actually its not a layout specially made for Google+ but rather it was the first product to use this new theme. Well, i don’t like this new layout but it really didn’t bothered me too much either. This [...]
Gmail man :)
Microsoft fires another salvo in Google’s direction. – Although Google is doing this from the beginnings of Gmail, many didn’t realize this until now. Maybe because Gmail’s adoption wasn’t as big as it is now. Anyway, interesting times are ahead of us.
Two words about the new Google interface: Its awful
Google rolled out its new search interface and i already started to hate it. I don’t know what was in their mind. Did they try to copy Bing ? Because Bing is awful too. That’s why i don’t use it. Apart from the odd colors they’ve put the URL’s in the search results at the [...]
Ready for the future of the Internet?
Google promised back in January that on the 8th of June it will test a new version of the Internet Protocol called IPv6. This protocol will allow a far greater number of devices to be connected to the internet as current IPv4 Internet Protocol addresses will run out this year. Well, 8th of June is [...]
Only one search engine left?
It seems that Microsoft’s Bing is In flagrante delicto. Google’s official blog and Danny Sullivan at Searchengineland revealed that in fact Bing is copying Google’s results whenever it suits him. I will not comment on the morality of this decision from Bing but rather on something that Danny Sullivan observed about “search voices” : “For [...]
Prediction: 2011 – the year when Google will turn into an enemy
When a new year starts everyone is making predictions or lists of predictions on blogs and newspapers. More or less i will make a prediction myself. But it will be only one prediction. I think that 2011 will be the year when we will witness something that a few years ago we couldn’t believe. I [...]
Analytics gone
Today i removed Google Analytics from all of my sites. I will continue to use for statistics the wonderful Extreme Tracking service. Why i did this ? Well, there are multiple reasons: 1) I didn’t really used it. Although Extreme Tracking is not free (at least the Pro version i’m using) i like it more [...]

Google unveiled a new Apache module created by them. They claim this module is capable of improving the speediness of our websites by a factor of 2x or more depending on some factors. Already webhost GoDaddy is offering this module to its 8.5 million customer base. It’s great that Google in between conquering the world [...]
Google works on self driving cars
Well it seems that not only i think that automobiles have a way too primitive technology and usability. You should read my 2008 article and see what i was requiring for a modern car. Now Google just announced that they are working on a technology for cars that will allow them to automatically drive from [...]

How to turn off Google Buzz
Google Buzz arrived in our Gmail accounts this week. I must say i’m not a fan of this thing. I like Gmail because it has a fairly good spam filter and because i can easily filter and categorize my mail. My email is very important to me so i like to keep it organized and [...]
