Yes, we are still all about search

Posted by Marissa Mayer, Vice President of Search Products and User Experience

We are often asked at Google what we are doing to improve regular web search. There’s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes, but today, at our press event, we announced four new products that will give you a better sense of how all this work becomes reality.

Our new products offer a pretty wide range of services and capabilities, but they have one thing in common: They all enhance and improve the search experience for our users.

- Google Co-op is a way for users to help us improve search. It lets people and organizations label web pages and create specialized links related to their unique expertise. Whether it’s information about a hobby, a profession, or an unusual interest, everyone can contribute to making Google search more relevant and useful for the entire community.

- Google Desktop 4 gives you another way to improve search, by personalizing your desktop. New “Google Gadgets” deliver an array of information–ranging from games and media players to weather updates and news–straight to your desktop.

- Google Notebook (which we’ll be launching next week) is a personal browser tool that lets you clip text, images, and links from the pages you’re searching, save clippings to an online notebook, and then share notebooks with others.

- Google Trends builds on the idea behind the Google Zeitgeist, allowing you to sort through several years of Google search queries from around the world to get a general idea of everything from user preferences on ice-cream flavors to the relative popularity of politicians in their respective cities or countries.

[...] 关于notebook,用了一下,想法够有创意–可以publish和search–想想原来google的东西还是都以search而出众–yes,we are still all about search。notebook有用吗?这样想是因为google已经推出了很多非常酷但的确没什么用的东西:google有bookmark,用的却是delicious;google有reader,用的却是bloglines;google有calendar,基本上没怎么用了;google有pages,大家不是已经有blog了嘛…当然就会想nb有用吗,新鲜劲过了后还会用吗?notebook是界于网摘和blog类发布工具之间的服务,可delicious和gmail就已经可以做到save和note,这两个都是存在于网络上,都可以很方便的在本地以外的访问,而且前者还具有分享和搜索的功能。notebook也就是集合了这些功能,将来再弄个rss,应该优势也就在提供的分享更加的精练而不是整篇整篇的post。 [...]
