There’s an official Google Blog! The URL is http://googleblog.blogspot.com. I haven’t actually read it, but I assume it’s all about platform upgrades and the like. There’s not too much useful information there. It would be funny if some random IT engineer wrote about how much he missed his long-term ex-girlfriend and now only had this blog as his sole conduit of communication. Really, I’d imagine that the Google people are a hip crowd of young recent grads, from Stanford. I learned in my numerical analysis class that Google owns the patented PageRank algorithm, that uses very sophisticated iterative methods to turn out the best search results possible, in the smallest amount of time. Basically, any intelligent person would endorse Google as the best search engine. I think this technology spills over nicely into Gmail, my new favorite thing.
