Linky Goodness, March 4

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008 by Andy Beal

Jordan often does a great job covering for me, when I’m unable to post a Pilgrim’s Picks. Today, I noticed no Linky Goodness and started to shake!

So, I’m getting to post my first–and probably last, when Jordan sees this–Linky Goodness. w00t!

Google is testing "site search" boxes as part of its normal search results. Go take a look at the screenshots, it will make sense when you see it.
Google’s VP of Global Sales Sheryl Sandberg has left the company to become Facebook’s COO.
Low cost TV ad company SpotRunner has acquired local online ad company Weblistic.
Demand Media has acquired social media "we don’t know what we wannabe" Pluck for a reported $75 million.

There, that’s better! I feel all Linky now.

Hmph! Well! I never!

Oh, wait, yes I have.

Careful, Andy, linky goodness is highly addictive!

Hmm…a search within a search. Its a novel idea, but I don’t know how much of help it actually will be for a user like me. For example, any websites that I want to conduct a local search on, they typically have landmark URLs and recognizeable brands (Ex. Wikipedia, USA Today, CNN, etc.). I would never search for those sites within google – I would just key in their URL into my address box directly. I’m trying to think if there are any exceptions to that rule…

“site search” it’s like radio buttons in other engines.

I’m disappointed with Sheryl Sandberg.
