"Historical imagery has been available for about two years and they have caught a couple of historically significant events, including the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, South Africa’s preparation for the 2010 World Cup, and the inauguration of President Obama.

It isn’t reserved for just historically significant events, either. Google Earth can show you your own personal history as well."

This article shows how to use "Advanced Operators" at Google for more effective queries. Hits all the powerful ones except * - can use it as a wildcard for two or three words - eg "three * mice". Also, the examples given in the article can be used in combinations. eg intitle:sharepoint site:microsoft.com.

"With today’s user-generated content overload, tracking your brand mentions is a must. You can consider various free and paid tools or services that offer to track buzz around your brand, but there are three most basic tools that you should use no matter what.

The three tools below are free, easy to use, have rather basic functionality and deliver email alerts of your brand mentions."

"But on the vertical search engine front, where does it end? Shopping search not allowed, but not image search? News search but no blog search? Only web search? Even that?

"Eigenlijk was-ie bestemd voor de weekoogst, maar daar is ASEO eigenlijk te mooi voor. SEO kennen we natuurlijk allemaal, Search Engine Optimization, het optimaliseren (manipuleren zeggen sommigen) van websites om bij zoekacties door zoekmachines als Google zo hoog mogelijk in het resultatenlijstje terecht te komen. ASEO is de academische variant ervan, Academic Search Engine Optimization. Twee Duitse promovendi doen in het laatste nummer van het Journal of Electronic Publishing verslag van hun pogingen om Google Scholar te ‘foppen’ en daarmee enerzijds een hogere plek in de resultatenlijst te realiseren voor hun publicaties en anderzijds het aantal citaties dat door Google Scholar aan hun publicaties wordt meegegeven kunstmatig op te hogen. In beide blijken ze succesvol te zijn."
