Google’s goals and directions for 2006
Posted on October 28th, 2006 by Kevin Gibbons
Google Operating System points back to a Philipp Lenssen post from earlier this year, outlining Google’s goals and directions for 2006.
“If everything is on the right track, that means Google has already:
- got rid of spam in the top 20 languages
- improved their ad system (“one of their aims was to sell $1B of new inventory”)
- pushed their content sites (maybe this is one of the reasons Google bought YouTube)
- optimized page loading for the most visited sites (“any site with over 10 million page views (per day? month?) renders in a second or less, 95% of the time”)
Some new products and features that should be launched until the end of the year (or maybe next year):
- a more interactive version of Google News that lets “other news sources, and organizations and individuals mentioned in news stories to debate specific points”.
- extract information about time and place from web pages and show search results ordered by time or restricted by time / location.
- enable visitors that have paid subscriptions to (news) websites to access them directly from Google search.”
