So that’s what a Google Street View car looks like…

Yesterday Google has released a new redesigned version of Google Reader. You can see it on the screenshot below (taken from the article on webware.com).

It looks much nicer now. And also they finally corrected this terrible translation error.

Last night I watched a few of this week’s episodes of Loaded on CNET TV where Natali Del Conte – amongst others – presented the Top 10 Searches for 2008 of Yahoo and also Google. The funny thing is that there is quite a big difference in this list. Yahoo’s list which in its entirety can be found here looks like this…
- Britney Spears
- WWE
- Barack Obama
- Miley Cyrus
- RuneScape
- Jessica Alba
- Naruto
- Lindsay Lohan
- Angelina Jolie
- American Idol
Google has not released its 2008 Zeitgeist yet but the fastest-rising search terms of 2008 are:
- obama
- att
- iphone
- youtube
- fox news
- palin
- beijing 2008
- david cook
- surf the channel
As you can easily see there is quite a big difference between those two lists. It’s really interesting that Britney Spears is on top of the list at Yahoo. I mean isn’t that over somehow? Also who still uses Yahoo search? I have maybe used it once or twice in the last two years when I didn’t get appropriate results from Google but obviously Yahoo wasn’t any better. Well, from just looking at the list however you can presume what kind of people use it regularly…
Edit: Here’s a short excerpt from the show mentioned above…

I recently read this interesting blog post linking to this article. I didn’t read this whole article but the main point is that in the long run Mozilla Firefox will probably not survive Google Chrome. The reason for this being that…
[Eighty-eight] percent of Mozilla’s funds come from Google, which pays Mozilla to be the default search engine in its Firefox browser.
Well it is really obvious that Google is paying Mozilla quite some money as e.g this is the default start page after you’ve installed Firefox. And the author assumes that as Chrome gains market shares Google will start withdrawing money from Firefox.
Interesting facts. We will see how the browser war goes on. By the way an interesting statistics in this context can be found here where you can see how quickly Chrome gained users. Found at miedl.net Read the whole article at microsoft-watch.com -

Google Reader "Meine Bestellung" (Screenshot from google.com/reader)
Well OK, if you just quickly check the dictionary it might seem perfectly fine to translate “My order” to “Meine Bestellung”. And the translation is actually correct. But definitely not in the context of this relatively new feature in Google Reader. Because “Bestellung” means “order” in the sense of ordering something in a restaurant or form a mail-order store.
Here this word is absolute nonsense. Google should replace it with something like “Reihenfolge”… -

Seems like Google has a new Favicon. You can see the old one at the search field and the new (?) one on the tab…
