Google explicou sua visão para o desenvolvimento da correia fotorreceptora nos três anos seguintes no seu conferência dos colaboradores sendo prendido em San Francisco. Google Inc. invest em três áreas chaves para colaboradores, including abrir acima de seus usuários para hospedar suas aplicações, incentivar o connectivity pervasive à correia fotorreceptora, e fazer o browser mais poderoso, dito Vic Gundotra, Vice-presidente de Google da engenharia,

“Após anos da competição entre plataformas, a correia fotorreceptora ganhou porque está aberta, porque é ubiquitous, e porque há uma comunidade passionate que trabalha junto para a mover para a frente,” disse Gundotra em uma indicação. “Openness é grande para colaboradores e para usuários porque bate abaixo obstáculos às aplicações grandes do edifício, e porque se apressa a onda seguinte da inovação deixando idéias boas seja compartilhado. A correia fotorreceptora não depende de nenhuma API ou ferramenta ou produto, de Google ou de qualquer um mais. O que faz a diferença real é o efeito agregado de nós todo o funcionamento junto, com padrões abertos e fonte aberta.”

Está aqui um sumário breve da planta:

Fazendo a nuvem mais acessível

Google abrirá acima do Google centros de dados de modo que os colaboradores enlatem mais fàcilmente a escala suas aplicações. Permite que os colaboradores funcionem aplicações no infrastructure enorme do usuário de Google. Este será usar-se feito Motor de Google App.

Android para a plataforma do móbil de Windows

Steve Horowtiz, projetando o diretor para Google Telefone móvel Android plataforma, demonstrada que você não necessita iPhone para ter uma relação móvel atraente e umas aplicações móveis compelindo. Quando mostrou como um telefone Android, usando um compasso interno, poderia dinâmicamente ajustar imagens da vista da rua de Google para combinar os revestimentos do usuário do telefone, havia um aplauso.

Faça o Browser mais poderoso

Como por Google, Engrenagens encaixe (que permite que os povos façam exame de apps da correia fotorreceptora fora de linha e utilizem o poder de seu desktop) e HTML 5 represente o futuro do web browser. Usando estas ferramentas estender as potencialidades de Javascript, Gundotra said, Apps da correia fotorreceptora pode tornar-se mais poderoso e mais rico.

Baseado no popular Correia fotorreceptora 2.0 infrastructure, Paglo’s software-as-a-service (Saas) was first introduced to the public in November, but today marks the first day it is available for public use. The service will be available for free until the fall, when Paglo says it will implement a paid model.

Paglo’s relevance within an organization can be as simple as telling users whether their business IT system complies with Microsoft licensing policies to whether their individual machines have the latest security patches for installed software such as Microsoft Office. Paglo creates indexes of businesses’ information and keeps these data hidden from within the members of the organization.

Paglo users download a crawler application that traverses their IT environments and collects performance-related data and other information. The results then get pushed up to Paglo’s server, where they are stored in a separate index for each customer. Users can set how often they want the crawler to canvass the network or a particular asset in order to get the most up-to-date information into the index.

Users conduct searches through a Web-based interface. Results can come back in traditional, Google-like form, or as tables and chart visualizations, such as for the traffic patterns on a particular server over a length of time.

In addition, Paglo has created an API (application programming interface) that enables users to create connections to additional network assets.

“Imagine you have an old mainframe that has an old ERP (enterprise resource planning) system on it. We want to make it really easy for an IT administrator to have that information available in their [search] index,” said Paglo Chief Technology Officer Chris Waters.

The customizable Paglo Dashboard allows users to implement widgets and other technologies to make the Dashboard as user friendly as possible.

In order to compete with Google, Microsoft decided to return consumers a portion of their purchases if they buy goods through its Live Search cashback program.

“I think years from now, you may look back and say, ‘Wow, search started to get a fair bit more competitive, and we can look back to that announcement.’ We think what we’ve got is super-neat here, but we can see taking this in some new directions.” Microsoft’s Bill Gates told the crowd.

For consumers, the program is getting attention for its promise to refund a portion of the purchase price on items they buy via Live Search. But for advertisers, the most intriguing bit is Live Search cashback’s use of a cost-per-acquisition model, which allows them to pay for the ad only when a consumer makes a purchase as a result of an ad, as opposed to the standard model that requires them to pay when someone clicks on an ad.

After consumers click through to a merchant’s site and buy an eligible product, the designated discount will be paid into an online account where the refunds will accumulate and be available via direct deposit to a bank or PayPal account, or by check.

Cashback programs have been tried by smaller search engines, with mixed results. Because of Microsoft’s big online presence, its new initiative could get lots of attention in the industry and among consumers.

The new search engine company, Powerset, has released a public beta version of its search engine. Right now, Powerset can only search Wikipedia. In the new version, people can search using simple phrases, short questions and keywords. The product launch comes just a day after reports that the company is being shopped to potential buyers by investment bank Allen & Co.

The way that Powerset returns queries means that answers are often found in the result snips. They are also structuring a lot of the Wikipedia and (and already structured Freebase) data and inserting it into results. So a search for “Bill Clinton” shows results, but also shows Freebase structured data along with additional query refinements to get to more information. The important thing below isn’t the structured data in the results, its the fact that you can click on the action words and drill down into very specific queries (to find, for example, what bills he signed, or which Supreme Court justices he nominated).

Powerset is indexing web pages much differently than normal search engines, which generally just record content to match against keyword queries. Instead, Powerset is trying to understand the content on the page so that it can be matched meaningfully to queries later. Even queries that don’t use matching words.

Powerset definitely has an interesting search product on its hands. Its approach of pulling third-party content into its own UI and providing tools to better analyze it is undeniably useful. On the other hand, Google and Yahoo will be watching to see if Powerset’s semantic search proves popular.
