Linky Goodness, November 11

Today we remember all those who have served their respective countries in the armed forces–and especially those who made the greatest sacrifice to preserve our freedoms and their homes.

Feeling under the weather? Be careful what you Google: Google will report flu searches to the US federal government. As always, Google promises to keep identifying information private, and the feds say these searches are to track the spread of the disease day by day. (Hat-tip to “teh hubbin” who called me from work to let me know about this story so I could blog it). UPDATE: the official announcement.
Having a tough time finding good sites to carry your ads? Never fear, Google Ad Planner is here–and out of beta and available to all.
So much for making $250M: Yahoo’s Microsoft-Icahn-Google bill reaches $73 million. Ouch.
The latest in search engine censorship: Argentina is forcing Google & Yahoo to censor their results now.
I guess this Read Wrie Web title says it all. Google Launches Video and Voice Chat for Gmail. Cool (and a lot better than the last GTalk announcement–enhanced smileys? Sooo 1999).

Wow, that’s one Gooooogly goodness!

Social Media Monitoring in Just 60-Seconds. Guaranteed!

I read somewhere today that all the “advisors” that racked up the $73MM bill recommended yahoo to NOT sell to microsoft………given the billions in shareholder value that has eroded, that’s pretty sick to then be stuck with a big fat bill.

I did not even know Gmail had smileys. Now that’s 1999.

I’ve been involved in the beta of Ad Planner and have been quite impressed, so I’m pleased to see it opening the doors.

haaachoo. excuse me. lol. J/K. This is interesting. I guess this monitoring would have some pretty cool results. But what about privacy. (out the window this is the Internet)

Oh yeah, that Google Ad Planner seems pretty cool.

Video is the way to go. Actually at a new blog I am starting I am going test video & audio comments. I’ll see how it goes.

Thanks for the links. I am going to start reading them right now. I think the most interesting article will be the one about Google Launches Video and Voice Chat for Gmail. What a great idea, should say !
