With the growing need to speed up every work, think tanks continually grind their grey matter to develop and bring out the most efficient of methods to minimize time needed to perform each task. Google has been pretty famous for doing this more regularly and to live up to that reputation it lately introduced On-Demand Indexing for Google Site Search. The tool makes sure that the latest news/pages appear in the search results in a faster way on your site.

YouTube has announced a monetization program for embedded videos. This comes as the Google brand is thinking to expand revenues, with an audience of 280 million per month, and 44 percent of those viewers watching videos on sites off of YouTube, sounds like a good marketing strategy.

I thought watching Herbert Elwood Gilliland III was the last of all those things to come up. With claims to the idea of YouTube been his and wanting around a one percent share of all the revenue it generates. With a video that almost had his face coming out of the screen, it was one of the weirdest things I have seen in my blogging career. But iJustine did a good job with a funny video, targeting the Elwood’s claim and guess what, TechCrunch reported of the guy hitting out another video that sadly has been pulled off or is no longer available.

And yet again a change comes in Microsoft’s Live Search Platform. This time the change looks good. I had previously reported about URank, a technology for ranking your searches and much more from Microsoft. But this time Microsoft is the power of Social Networking into it’s Live Search Platform sometime next year.

After being sailing safe at over $400 for quite a long time, Google has at last gone below $300 making Google appear less of Zeus that it had been. That is a drastic plunge Google’s stock have taken but given the current market situation where many firms have seen their stock drop close to single digits, it still holds a reasonable position. Shareholders might be alarmed but they still hold a very strong position compared to others who’ve lost a lot.
