Google's Caffeine indexing platform was just released yesterday. The web will now be indexed faster in a more "real-time" algorithmic process. Basically all the different qualifications that go into the search indexing formula will be piece-mealed in and compared to the the entire database in real time as opposed to building stack by stack of data over time in order to run the sort query and seeing major changes only pushed out after long periods of time and data analysis.*cough, wheeze, gasp*

What does it mean for SEO? It means the possibility that a new site will be indexed faster. We may start to see rankings rise at a rapid pace as we tweak and influence our sites for performance and SEO "friendliness".

I am looking forward to seeing reports from the SEO field stating rapid changes instead of slow dreadful ones. Maybe now all those scam filled SEO companies won't be able to promise results without a 6 months - 1 year contract.

Hilarious, Google places playable pacman game on front page of Google.com, causing countless billions of wasted hours today. Very cute "Insert Coin" button there. Creative!! I love it!

Figures, it runs like crap on IE, but runs smooth as silk on Firefox and Chrome...could it be HTML5? Will we see more of this to come? I sure hope so! The web is changing rapidly, as is all of our communications technology. Just look at Google IO 2010. Lot's of exciting things to come...like Flash for Android!!

Looks like Symantec bought Verisign...boo! I got this e-mail today, just a couple of minutes ago.

Dear VeriSign Customer,

I am writing to inform you that VeriSign has signed a definitive agreement to sell our Authentication Services business to Symantec, a premier end-to-end Internet security provider with extensive distribution, broad product offerings and integrated service delivery. Upon closing of the transaction, the VeriSign Authentication Business, which includes the PKI, VIP and SSL assets, will become part of the Security and Compliance Group at Symantec, and VeriSign's network infrastructure and domain name business will continue to exist as a separate independent company retaining the VeriSign name. Certain Authentication related brands and trademarks, such as VeriSign's check mark, will be included in the transfer from VeriSign to Symantec. VeriSign will retain its corporate name and utilize it for our remaining business.
