Google Timing
It's Friday evening, and I was poking around the web and ran across something interesting:
Last week of April: Wolfram announces it's new search product. Google announces it's new structured data product that same day.
Last week of July, 2008. Google competitor Cuil launches, claiming a huge number of documents searched. Just days before, Google announces 1 Trillion docs searched
First week of June, 2008. Wikia Search announces a new feature to allow users to add and delete URLs to search results. The next month Google announced similar features
This week Microsoft started floating Bing, a new search engine. Google announces Wave, the next big thing on the internet.
Google has great timing. I mean really, really great timing.

Comment Policy: I really, really, really enjoy comments, but if all you have to offer is general platitudes like how happy you are to have found my site and what a wonderful place it is, I will delete your comment and report your comment as spam. Please try to either tell me I am wrong, sympathize with my point, expand on what I'm saying, or offer your own experiences or opinions. If you just want a link your best bet is to just ask for one. Probably won't work, but at least be honest about it. No name-calling and please keep the profanity as low as possible. If your grandma can't read it or you wouldn't say it in person, don't write it here. Thanks.
