Gmail Gearing Towards Full Launch?

Friday, July 21st, 2006

Gmail, the web mail service provided to you by Google has been in its testing or beta phase for more than 2 years.

Since Gmail’s unofficial launch in April of 2004, it has added tons of new features and has raised the invitations that come along with opening a new account from 4 to 50.

There has been no word of an official full launch date but with such new features as integrated Google Talk as well as automatic forwarding and an unprecedented 2746 MB of storage, you would think that a full release date should be right around the corner.

MSN Search Giving Away Market Share

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

Last night I noticed that MSN Search was down. When you would arrive at a search results page you were greeted by a “This service is unavailable” message followed by “Our team is working to restore services as Quickly as possible. Please try your request again later.”

For a search giant like MSN to usher it’s users to competitor websites like Google or Yahoo! is no way for them to win back it’s market share.

This is not the first time that MSN search has gone down in the last short while back on June 5th, as pointed out in a blog post by Dave Davies of Beanstalk Search Engine Positioning entitled “That’s the Way to Beat Google!!!”.

At this time Google currently indexed over 8 Billion webpages. This article will give you a great idea on just how the robots go about indexing your pages, how to catch them and what to look out for.
