Google Wave Developer Preview at Google I/O 2009

Filed under: Google — Tags: , , , — admin @ 9:08 am May 29, 2009

Converging instant messaging, email, forums, chat rooms, photo sharing, social networking, and web collaboration, Google Wave will change the way we communicate. Conversations are all trees on a shared host, so you are never creating new copies of content as you reply to and share messages and other content. You just add people and content to the conversation. Everything is always in sync live because it is a hosted conversation, not content being sent to people’s inboxes. It’s open source and you can create your own Wave client and embed Wave in your own applications.

Google Adsense — Ad Targeting Snafu

online-ad-targetingHi Google, just a note that you might want to tweak your ad targeting algorithm.

When someone writes about “viral” and “virality” in the context of blogging, web design, and social media, they usually are talking about how things can grow virally on the web, not biological viruses like H1N1 Swine Flu.

The ads to the left appeared when I first put up the “Viral by Design” post with the Slideshare presentation.

Maybe these keywords will help the ad targeting on this post:

  • blogging
  • wordpress
  • wordpress themes
  • wordpress plugins
  • web 2.0
  • iPhone
  • social media
  • social network
  • web design
  • article submission
  • a/b testing
  • search engine marketing
  • search engine optimization
  • facebook
  • twitter

Please leave a comment to let me know what you see in the Google adsense ads at the right.
