Google to index libraries 12/17/2004 06:37 PM

In yeste rday's link dump, I inexplicitly buried a link to the big news about Google's plan to index the books at The Libraries of Harvard, Stanford, the University of Michigan, the University of Oxford, and The New York Public Library. Wow!

In the meantime, Microsoft released a toolbar suite. Uhmmm, wow?

Note to Microsoft: I like your OS, but you're falling waaay yy behind.

Google to scan books from big libraries: Google is going to start scanning the books in libraries.

The New York library is allowing Google to include a small portion of its books no longer covered by copyright while Harvard is confining its participation to 40,000 volumes so it can gauge how well the process works. Oxford wants Google to scan all its books originally published before 1901.

Google Planning IPO, Microsoft Buyout

Google Planning IPO, Microsoft Buyout 10/31/2003 10:36 AM
The New York Times confirms the bad news: Google is planning an IPO. And even worse, they've been discussing a merger with Microsoft. "The company [...] has also explored the idea of a so-called Dutch auction, bypassing Wall Street and selling shares directly to investors. Such an approach could give it distance from scandal-plagued investment banking deals of the dot-com era as well as create a huge base of small shareholders."...

Google Buzz Index: Big PMPin'

Google Buzz Index: Big PMPin' 06/28/2004 06:31 PM

So this week's Google Buzz Index might not be as interesting to everyone else as is it is to me, since I'm writing about Personal Such-and-such Players all week long, but it's something I really had wondered about, especially with the influx of new media players coming out of Asia. I really didn't expect "personal video player" to take such a huge lead, but there's no mistaking it -- that's the term most used to describe these devices. I'm a little disappointed, too; I'd much rather use 'Personal/Portable Media Player' as it is a more accurate description of what these devices can do. Once we ever get around to changing our categories, my guess is that PortableMedia will still be what we go with over PersonalVideo, numbers be damned.

Google Is Adding Major Libraries to Its Database

By JOHN MARKOFF and EDWARD WYATT

Google, the operator of the world's most popular Internet search service, plans to announce an agreement today with some of the nation's leading research libraries and Oxford University to begin converting their holdings into digital files that would be freely searchable over the Web.

It may be only a step on a long road toward the long-predicted global virtual library. But the collaboration of Google and research institutions that also include Harvard, the University of Michigan, Stanford and the New York Public Library is a major stride in an ambitious Internet effort by various parties. The goal is to expand the Web beyond its current valuable, if eclectic, body of material and create a digital card catalog and searchable library for the world's books, scholarly papers and special collections.

Harvard Pilot Project with Google

I just got a university-wide email regarding a pilot project that Harvard is starting with Google. It looks like Google will also be joining with other universities in this project, which will begin the work of digitizing, and in the case of public domain works providing public access to, the contents of the Harvard library system.

Sounds good. Now if only we can figure out a way to get more of the books, particularly those which are out of print, into the public domain.

So I thought I'd try to get all sciencey on you, here, and did some informal Google mining to see what people are talking about. I made these first two graphs in Excel all by myself!

The first is a comparison of keyboarded messaging tools: the Treo 600, the RIM Blackberry (all models), and the upcoming Motorola MPx (for spice). The listing on the left (horizontal, not the vertical label) is my Google search string, just so you can check the search terms yourself if you want. As I said, this isn't an exact science, but I tried my best to weed out false positives. The Treo wins the buzz index this round, but the MPx has a strong start for something that won't even be out until the fall.

Google Buzz Index: Next Gen Portable
Game Systems, Possible Xbox 2 Names 06/15/2004 06:14 PM

More loose science Google mining today, starting with a sampling of the five major next generation portable gaming systems. I'm a little surprised -- the Nintendo DS comes out on top, even over the Sony PSP. My guess is science is failing us here, as another query for "playstation portable" pulls up another 666,000 hits (oooweeoooh), which added to the to the "sony psp" results brings us up to 1,425,000, or about 200k over Nintendo. My guess is it's somewhere in between those numbers and it's fair to say the Nintendo DS and the PSP are, buzz-wise, in a dead heat. The Nokia N-Gage QD makes a sizeable showing, which is pretty respectable until you run just "n-gage," which nets a response of over 4 million. Since we're trying to compare next generation unreleased and just-released hardware, though, I left those results out. The Gizm(welovepigs)ondo is just a blip on the radar, in part because of the recent name change, and in part because it is doomed to failure. The Tapwave Zodiac does fare any better, which is a bit disappointing. Time to rally the troops, Tapwave.

The next Google Buzz Index, where we see which of the possible names for the second iteration of Microsoft's Xbox have the highest buzz, is after the jump.
