Relevance meets the real-time web

12/07/2009 11:31:00 AM

Search is a natural starting point for discovering the world’s information, and we strive to bring you the freshest, most comprehensive and relevant search results over an ever expanding universe of content on the multitude of devices you use to access it.

That’s why today, at the Computer History Museum, we’re excited to share a few new innovations in the areas of real-time, mobile and social search that we feel are important steps in the evolution of information access.

First, we’re introducing new features that bring your search results to life with a dynamic stream of real-time content from across the web. Now, immediately after conducting a search, you can see live updates from people on popular sites like Twitter and FriendFeed, as well as headlines from news and blog posts published just seconds before. When they are relevant, we’ll rank these latest results to show the freshest information right on the search results page.

This actually is such a timely article since I’ve been releasing the Free Tri-Branding Strategy Formula Webinars where branding online is becoming so fluid and if you are a marketing consultant, having a reputation management offering as part of your services is a big trend to be on the forefront of.

The article discusses…

…how social media such as twitter really interplays with getting onto Google Page One…especially if a bunch of customers start discussing a company’s brand, product or service.  And watch out if it is of a negative nature…

We all know that it is impossible to have every customer satisfied and there will always be an element of the ‘keyboard junkies’ who love to flock to negative remarks…and shoot…what isn’t even discussed is this:

A company’s competitor may create pen names and say negative remarks in the social media arena!

How to address that?

Have a social media strategy in place that has a ‘reputation management’ piece to it.

Why do you have to be so heavy on social media?

Because browsers online first go to social media sites before even your company website to find out about you, your product or service!

Four years ago, social media would never have appeared on the chart below!

The curves in this powerful Ferrari are sexy!  Thanks to the autospies folks for providing such a sweet eye candy to distract us from our normal internet social networking, twittering, and all that jazz!
