Google's April Fools 2009

Google Blogoscoped

Today is prank day on and offline, and Google is joining with several hoaxes. The common theme this year is CADIE, short for Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity. I also saw it linked from google.com, though not at the moment. Google writes, “For several years now a small research group has been working on some challenging problems in the areas of neural networking, natural language and autonomous problem-solving. Last fall this group achieved a significant breakthrough: a powerful new technique for solving reinforcement learning problems, resulting in the first functional global-scale neuro-evolutionary learning cluster.”

  • HP Android netbooks spell bad news for Microsoft Submitted by Google Subnet on Wed, 04/01/2009

    HP's interest in Android, especially in the netbook space, isn't too hard to understand. Netbook users by definition are extremely price conscious, and Android promises to give users more feature bang for their buck (and processor), especially compared with Windows.

  • YouTube, Hulu vie for premium Disney content Submitted by Google Subnet on Tue, 03/31/2009

    When it comes to showing TV clips, sports highlights and other short-form video content, Disney's decided YouTube is the way to go, and it signed a deal this week to do just that. But the question is far more murky when it comes to full-length episodes and other long-form content. Can YouTube shed its low-brow anything-goes image and entice the likes of Disney, ABC and ESPN to run full-length episodes of its premium content on its site?

  • Google expands music downloads in China Submitted by Google Subnet on Mon, 03/30/2009

    In another attempt to hit rival Baidu where it lives, Google is expanding the number of free music downloads it offers in China via a pact with four major U.S. record labels, IDG News reports. The move brings Google more on par with Baidu, but it also underscores the huge disadvantage Google has when trying to build marketshare in China: Google has to play by the rules, while Baidu really doesn't.

    Google's April Fools 2009 by Philipp Lenssen

    Today is prank day on and offline, and Google is joining with several hoaxes.

    Monetizing 'Droids: the sub way by Mark Murphy

    The Monetizing 'Droids series of posts are ways of thinking about the identifying, pricing, marketing, and selling Android applications, blending what has worked in other areas with the subtle nuances that Android imposes. In a previous post, I argued that recurring Android application revenue requires continuous new products, or extensions to existing products. The challenge there, of course, is that each new product requires new marketing to reach a new audience. It would be nice if...

    The Problem With Google by Kaila Colbin

    The problem with Google is that it has such a clear identity. This clear identity has been a boon to the company for the past ten years. Their laser focus, manifested by the complete lack of clutter on their home page, has led them to be the undisputed leaders in the very market on which they're focused. But now they've got a problem, and it's similar to the Facebook problem. The problem is that the users, rightly or wrongly, think we own the experience. It's ours, and we want it our...

    Will Google Find Appiness? by Andrew Madejczyk

    In the past, I've commented on Google and their mastery of search engine technology. Yes, there are folks out there that get angry anytime an entity or product gains enormous market share, but all said, Google has been and currently is the mother of all search engines. Work with me here... However, as we use them to google a recipe, to find an online spice shop or the best price on a Canali tie, they're down in the lab conjuring up a series of applications designed to be your one stop shop...
