What makes this so remarkable is that iPhones make up just 2% of the mobile device market, many times less than BlackBerry (10%), Microsoft (11%) and Symbian (63%). &nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;<a href='http://blogs.wsj.com/biztech/2008/01/14/a-christmas-lesson-from-the-iphone/?mod=hps_us_my_companies'>original news</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Web's emergence is forcing ad executives to succumb to marketers' demands that agencies reinvent how ads are created, and forgo their TV-centric approach. Clients are even calling for changes in the way ad firms are structured. But until now, few advertisers have spent more than 5% to 10% of their marketing budgets online. With the growth of online video and social networking, ad experts expect that percentage to jump significantly this year. &nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;<a href='http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119921379097860487.html?mod=hps_us_my_industries'>original news</a>]]></description>

We're pleased for this recognition, as Peter's work in privacy over the last decade mirrors a real evolution in the profession. Today, privacy is universally viewed as a key corporate goal, and privacy officers are responsible for creating a culture of respect for privacy inside their companies.We're excited that Peter will have the chance to continue his contributions to  the discussion of privacy issues through his role with the IAPP. The organization provides a forum for privacy professionals to share best practices, track trends, advance privacy management issues, and provide education and guidance on opportunities in the field of privacy. Our congratulations to Peter and others joining the board for their work in this  important area. &nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;<a href='http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/04/peter-fleischer-joins-iapp-board.html'>original news</a>]]></description>

Even the little things  like my email.Now we're taking the first step to reach out to university students nationwide to find out what they like or don't like about their email. We're conducting a survey to see whether Google Apps Education Edition might offer students more of a choice about their online communication tools.Since we first launched Google Apps at universities, students took notice. We've even heard that at some schools like Northwestern, students lobbied their administrators for Google Apps, which includes 2GB email storage, instant messaging, and centralized  calendaring as part of their school's official communications package.So if you're a student who's not using Google Apps, take our survey and tell us what you like or not about your current university email system. And if your school has recently switched to Google Apps, write us and let us know what we can do better. Your feedback will help us ensure that we'll continue to keep up with you, the next generation of  world-changers. &nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;<a href='http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/04/tell-us-about-your-university-email.html'>original news</a>]]></description>

Since then, we've been working hard to deliver great products for Google users on Mac, including MacFUSE and Google Earth. Today, I'm really excited to let you know that Google Desktop is now available on the Mac! A lot of your most important data doesn't live on the web -- it lives on your Mac and in web services. And since Google is a search company, we're committed to helping you find all of that information.I could talk about this product all day, but I'll cut to the chase. Here are my top 5 reasons to try the Mac version of Desktop.It's as fast and easy to use as Google.com.It's comprehensive. Not only can you search the files on your Mac, you can now search your web history and your Gmail emails even when you're offline.It's changed the way I use my Mac. We designed the Quick Search Box to be a great launcher for applications and files, which means I no longer have a million icons on my desktop and in my dock.It's saved me hours. Really! Haven't you ever accidentally closed or deleted a file you've been working on Or typed &quot;rm -rf&quot; when you didn't mean to Now you can just search for the file with Google Desktop and recover all the text content you've lost.  We need your help! This is our first beta of Google Desktop for the Mac and we worked hard to create it; now we need your feedback to help to make it even better.So go ahead and give it a try. We hope you like it! &nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;<a href='http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/04/search-your-mac-with-google-desktop.html'>original news</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google filed today its response to Viacom's $1 billion lawsuit, which alleges unauthorized use of Viacom's copyrighted video, Google Watch has learned.Google's response is available for download here. Viacom's complaint, filed in New York federal court March 13, accuses Google and YouTube of &amp;quot;massive intentional copyright infringement&amp;quot; and seeks an injunction against further violations. &amp;quot;Viacom's complaint in this action challenges the careful balance established by Congress when it enacted the Digital Millenium Copyright Act,&amp;quot; Google's response begins. &amp;quot;The DMCA balances the rights of copyright holders and the need to protect the Internet as an important new form of communication. By seeking to make carriers and hosting providers liable for Internet communications, Viacom's complaint threatens the way hundreds of millions of people legitimately exchange information, news, entertainment and political and artistic expression. Google and YouTube respect the importance of intellectual property rights, and not only comply with their safe harbor obligations under the DMCA, but go well above and beyond what the law requires.&amp;quot; Google's response denies all allegations made by Viacom in the original complaint. Google requests a jury trial.Specifically, in response to Viacom's allegation that Google and YouTube promote direct copyright infringement via public performance, Google cites the safe harbor provisions of the DMCA. In response to Viacom's allegation that Google is making unauthorized copies of protected works, Google cites fair use. Google also cites the substantial non-infringing uses of YouTube.&amp;nbsp;Viacom, which sent a takedown notice to YouTube in February for 100,000 videos, contends that almost 160,000 unauthorized clips of its programming have been uploaded onto YouTube's site and viewed more than 1.5 billion times. &amp;quot;YouTube's strategy has been to avoid taking proactive steps to curtail the infringement on its site,&amp;quot; Viacom said after filing the lawsuit. &amp;quot;Their business model, which is based on building traffic and selling advertising off of unlicensed content, is clearly illegal and is in obvious conflict with copyright laws.&amp;quot; Viacom's suit was filed after &amp;quot;a great deal of unproductive negotiation&amp;quot; with Google.   &nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;<a href='http://feeds.ziffdavis.com/~r/ziffdavis/Google_Watch/~3/113333326/google_responds_to_viacom_lawsuit.html'>original news</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Posted by Dan Bentley, Software EngineerAct 1:  The Googler who cried snakeSunday April 1st, NYooglers (a word for New York Googlers I can't convince anyone else to use) receive an email about a python. I assume it's either Guido van Rossum talking about his programming language, or, because it's April Fool's, something like Gmail Paper or PigeonRank. Boy, am I surprised when I see the following message:&quot;Over the weekend, a pet snake belonging to a Googler escaped from its cage. The snake is a 3-foot long, brown-and-grey, ball python named Kaiser. Ball pythons are non-venomous and are commonly kept as pets. Tempting as it might be, this is not an April Fool's joke! We are sending this message to alert you to the situation and to let you know what to do in the event that you see the snake.&quot;Act 2:  A community unitesMonday morning in the office, we react. Some laugh, some debate whether it is actually a joke, and some stand away from walls and corners. At least one considers buying rubber snakes en masse. The bathrooms have slightly fewer occupants than usual.Signs are posted in our microkitchens informing us of the situation and reiterating that Kaiser is not venomous and probably hiding behind some cabinet. My favorite sign reads &quot;Single Ball Python (female): Down to earth gal seeking a sincere long term relationship. I have a heart of gold and enjoy quiet evenings in the aquarium, time by the heat lamp, and being held. If you are interested in a woman who desires a quiet settled-down lifestyle and a good future, I am your perfect fit.&quot;Act 3:  Google widens lead in search as Kaiser is foundMonday, April 2nd, 10:45 PM, we receive another Facilities Manager email: &quot;After consultations with a herpetology expert at the American Museum of Natural History, our team of Google security and concerned volunteers located Kaiser relaxing behind a cabinet earlier this evening, and he was returned safely home with his owner.&quot; So, it all ended happily, and Kaiser is now at his owner's home to stay.EpilogueBy Tuesday, life at the East Coast 'Plex returns to normal. We go back to building great products, hosting cool events, and using telescopes to take pictures of ourselves.Thank you!All of Google NY would like to sincerely thank our building landlord, Taconic Investment Partners, for working in partnership with us on this sensitive search and recovery mission. &nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;<a href='http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/04/snakes-in-plain-old-office-building.html'>original news</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an attempt t make more government documents accessible to the browsing public, Google has partnered with four states to help make tens of thousands of public records searchable.Google has partnered with four states &amp;mdash; Arizona, California, Utah and Virginia &amp;mdash; to remove technical barriers that had prevented Google, Microsoft and Yahoo from accessing public records dealing with education, real estate, health care and the environment.From the AP:Despite the obvious benefits of this Google initiative for those conducting Web searches, privacy advocates said they are worried about unintended consequences, cautioning that some records may contain personal and confidential information that should not be widely available. Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Washington-based Electronic Privacy Information Center, said many public health and financial records shouldn't necessarily be widely available because they often contain citizens' Social Security numbers. Such information should be redacted from records regardless of whether they're viewed online or in person at a government office, he said. Rotenberg also said Google has a &amp;quot;checkered past&amp;quot; on privacy, noting that the company tracks Internet search users who access government data in order to target ads at them. EPIC recently filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission urging it to investigate Google regarding such activities, as well as its proposed acquisition of online advertising company DoubleClick Inc.&amp;nbsp;   &nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;<a href='http://feeds.ziffdavis.com/~r/ziffdavis/Google_Watch/~3/113156083/google_all_up_in_governments_business.html'>original news</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Belgian newspaper agency that sued to be removed from Google News recently agreed to be indexed by the search engine again.The Belgian agency, Copiepresse, issued a joint statement with Google explaining the turnaround.&amp;quot;The websites of the Belgian French and German-language daily press will now appear without a 'cached' link in the search results of Google&amp;rsquo;s search engine, thanks to their use of the 'noarchive' tag,&amp;quot; read the statement in part. &amp;quot;The Belgian French and German-language daily press publishers and Google Inc. intend to use a quiet period in the court dispute to continue their efforts to identify tangible ways to collaborate in the long term.&amp;quot;Copiepresse originally filed suit in March 2006, arguing that Google's use of the robots.txt tag imposed Google's own copyright on their papers' articles. A Belgian court ruled for the agency when Google neglected to respond to the summons on time, but the case was later reheard with Google's participation. In February the Belgian court ruled that Google had violated copyrights and a fine was imposed, though Google is appealing the ruling.   &nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;<a href='http://feeds.ziffdavis.com/~r/ziffdavis/Google_Watch/~3/113935401/belgian_papers_back_in_google_news.html'>original news</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that YouTube is going to pay its top producers, can we drop the neo-hippie, Blithedale Romance, wash-my-back-hair-I'll-wash-yours pretense The Web stopped being a commune for naked dudes on the late shift a long time ago. Now we're all just trying to get paid.So raise your hands: Who here remembers July 2006 when Jason Calacanis offered to pay the top users of Digg and Newsvine to submit stories to Netscape And do you also remember how shocked -- shocked! -- everyone was at the idea The very thought that money, that little green satan, was intruding upon a blissful land of naked conversations was enough to make you wretch in your Aeron chair.Thing is, Jason was right, he was just right at the wrong time. He offered to pay users before the &amp;quot;community&amp;quot; was built. Chad and Steve corrected the mistake. They understand that those blissed-out &amp;quot;conversations&amp;quot; everyone is having are worth megabucks, you just gotta wait for a critical mass.In short: Conversations are monetizable. Abetting conversations: More so.A year has passed since the Netscape fiasco, and now people are bitching about how paying users might disrupt the community. Bull daisies. Every community is built on people getting paid. It's when people don't get paid that communities fall apart. If you think that's not true, try removing the AdSense from your site. Stop using SEO tricks. Just talk for talk's sake. It's boring.But back to YouTube's plan: Paying only the top users is genius. First and foremost, it creates an incentive for other users to produce quality content. Second, it legitimizes the video clip form. Whereas Revver and Metacafe will pay anybody, YouTube is creating exclusivity. Or, rather, a meritocracy within a democracy.And here's another funny thing: Remember how Chad argued in Forbes that YouTube is a vast audition room for talent that agencies could cull for their shows Now agencies will actually have to compete with YouTube to get that talent away. YouTube is the new cable network. How brilliant is that.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;   &nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;<a href='http://feeds.ziffdavis.com/~r/ziffdavis/Google_Watch/~3/114161783/youtube_ad_scheme_proves_jason_calacanis_right.html'>original news</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let's clear one thing up right now: NBC is NOT suing YouTube, nor have they joined Viacom in that company's litigation against the vid-sharing site.Rather, NBC and Viacom have both filed a friend of the court brief on behalf of plaintiff Robert Tur, who sued YouTube in 2005 for hosting video copies of the beating of Reginald Denny during the LA riots of 1992.According to the brief: &amp;quot;Many of NBCU's most valuable copyrighted works have been copied, performed and disseminated without authorization by YouTube and other similarly operated Web sites. NBCU has a strong interest in preserving the strength and viability of all of its legal rights and remedies in response to such conduct.&amp;quot; Viacom's role here is obvious. With their own $1 billion lawsuit filed, they're &amp;quot;all in&amp;quot; in a bet to sink YouTube. NBC's decision to file is more interesting -- the network has only worked more closely with YouTube in the days since it had &amp;quot;Lazy Sunday&amp;quot; removed back in early 2006. But this filing comes on the heels of their recently announced partnership with News Corp. to deploy their own video-sharing platform. Seems to me like they're hedging their bets on both sides. Or, as they would undoubtedly say, we're happy to distribute our content to every platform as long as we can control it, too. Dummies, the Web doesn't work that way.In related news, the UK's Premier League sued YouTube on Friday, arguing both copyright infringement and inadequate tools to prevent that infringement.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;   &nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;<a href='http://feeds.ziffdavis.com/~r/ziffdavis/Google_Watch/~3/114805786/nbc_and_viacom_support_tur_in_youtube_lawsuit.html'>original news</a>]]></description>

Want to know when or if your favorite musician is playing - try here. Hey they even have alerts when new info or tour dates etc. are added.I came across this because they have sponsored a competition over at another clever site: MyIdolWorld.com - an online attempt at an American Idol type thing. Interesting and amusing - the talent levels are varied but fun. Oyaka is one of the main sponsors and the partnership should work for them both.  &nbsp;&#187;&nbsp;<a href='http://feeds.searchenginewatch.com/~r/sewblog/~3/115700739/070510-155146'>original news</a>]]></description>
