this is a good move. It means that site owners will lose 'valuable' analytics - a price worth paying for user privacy. And a bonus is that behavioural targeting will be much harder. However, referrer blocking won't be happening with ads. Yeah, Google is an advertising business at heart.
Social data overload... not sure what these actually mean. I know, I know, it's meant to show engagement and popularity... but does it?
a fascinating piece, written in a rather ADD style (not necessarily a downside!), and with some interesting examples of real-time search and it's feedback loop or the impact it has on itself. Well worth reading. Not sure I agree on 'history isn't that relevant', which is true only if you are interested in real time search... :) Good point about context, which I believe is crucial for managing 'information overload' and for better filtering. However, I differ on where the context will come - (analysis of) the past will be the foundation of that rather than everything happening in the 'now'. (for a cute analogy, think of it as a difference between CPU and RAM.) Also, there are more contexts than just social or phatic e.g. context based on analyses of previous interactions, data and sharing. To me the greatest disruption would be individual's ability to analyse their own data/existence, with increased self-awareness and enhanced feedback loop.

Christensen didn’t buy it. He said time and time again disruptive business confuse adjacent innovation for disruptive innovation. They think they are still disrupting when they are just innovating on the same theme that they began with. As a consequence they miss the grass roots challenger — the real disruptor to their business. The company who is disrupting their business doesn’t look relevant to the billion dollar franchise, its often scrappy and unpolished, it looks like a sideline business, and often its business model is TBD. With the AOL story now unraveled — I now see search as fragmenting and Twitter search doing to Google what broadband did to AOL.

Video search is different because it alters the line or distinction between search, browse and navigation. I remember when Jon Miller and I were in the meetings with Brin and Page back in November of 2006 — I tried to convince them that video was primarily a browse experience and that a partnership with AOL should include a video JV around YouTube. Today this blurring of the line between searching, browsing and navigation is becoming more complex as distribution and access of YouTube grows outside of YouTube.com.

this is serious actually. usenet is extremely valuable not only from historical perspective (its content) but also as an example of a distributed information and communication infrastructure of the early internet.
apparently, bing + google = bingle. side by side search result comparison

Google collects a lot of information and it's not hard to foresee a time when Google will know from your email, text messages and search behavior that you are looking for a Thai restaurant south of Market Street in San Francisco. At that moment, Google can give you a 10% coupon to just such a restaurant. "Google has the potential to deliver on that promise," says Hsu.

"All firms have to walk the fine line between data tracking and collection, which conceptually allows them to provide better targeted services, and the privacy concerns that come with it," says Bradlow. "From the customer's side, there are two [viewpoints]. On the one hand, there are many consumers who are not concerned about privacy and would welcome improved services that essentially come at little to no explicit cost to them. Yet, there is also a segment of consumers who want their privacy maintained."

another example of offline meets online, and not in a good way! google delivered search result but you can't legistate against people being stupid and reading into things.

In a preliminary ruling, detailed here by Dutch law student Joris van Hoboken, Judge Sj A Rullman found in favor of Zwartepoorte because some Google users did indeed think the company had gone bankrupt, because the company had asked Miljoenhuizen.nl to correct the problem, and because Miljoenhuizen.nl had somehow, at some time in the past, attempted to optimize its Google search ranking.

But he doesn't quite agree with the ruling. "To make websites liable for the impact of legal publications in search engines on unreasonable end-users is a step too far," he writes.
great notes from Wolfram Alpha demo at Berkman
it may be online but it's a large centralise and carefully maintained database. useful no doubt but it's not of the web.
an attempt to mine data in twitter turning them into local search
