Google Forced To Give Viacom Video Logs, But Can Keep Search Source Code

Mountain View (CA) - Viacom won a significant victory in their $1 billion copyright infringement case against Google/YouTube. Google has been ordered to hand over terabytes of video search information that shows the details of every video ever played on YouTube. However Google did dodge a huge bullet as Judge Louis Stanton denied Viacom’s request for source code to Google’s search engine.

Russian search engine Yandex unveils online video search

Russian search engine group Yandex has launched the public beta of Yandex.Video. Service users can search and share videos clips online, as well as view the most popular videos. Yandex.Video currently searches about twenty video hosting services including youtube.com, rutube.ru, video.mail.ru, smotri.com and myvi.ru. The service's video search method is based on analysis of names, tags, descriptions and other video clip attributes. Search results are ranked according to user ratings. Yandex.Video continuously updates the most popular videos shown on its front page, as it receives information about new comments and new videos posted in blogs from Yandex's Blog Search service. Service users can upload an unlimited amount of video files and create their own favourite lists.

Finding Fault With Google's Privacy Policy

orenh writes "Viacom has recently obtained a court order that requires Google to hand over a complete list of every video watched by YouTube users. These logs will include the login names and IP addresses of the users. Google are now asking Viacom if they can anonymize the logs before turning them over; Viacom hasn't responded yet. But this privacy nightmare could have been greatly reduced if Google had anonymized the data in advance. Google's privacy policy states that they keep personally identifiable information for 18 months. There is no real reason to do so; Google can achieve everything they need even if they anonymize their search logs after just one month, and it's time users told them to do so."

Verizon and Google Close To Mobile Search Deal - Google is coming to a phone near you

Google and Verizon have often been on opposing sides of deals and issues (like those issues that arose during the 700 Mhz spectrum earlier this year). However it looks like the two companies are about to put the past behind them as they are rumored to be nearing a deal which would make Google the default search engine on all Verizon phones. The two companies would split ad revenue so that both would benefit. The deal has not been commented on by either party but sources say that a major point of contention is that Google seeks to save user search information in order to improve targeted ads and Verizon wants to keep that data to itself. Google is already the default search engine for Sprint phones and has a search partnership with Nokia plus the first Android phone has just gotten FCC approval so this is another step for Google towards do

Flash Search Being Enabled By Google, Yahoo; Images/Video Still Not Searchable

In a major step forward in search technology, Adobe (NSDQ: ADBE) is working with Google (NSDQ: GOOG) and Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) to make Flash files searchable in online search. The project will enable searches on Flash content to return text and links, which can then be indexed, and hence available in search results for the users. Content from a Flash application or even a game or advertisement will be available to search engines, reports InfoWorld. Pages containing a Flash .SWF file will be returned in a search. Google has already implemented this, while Yahoo, ever the laggard, will enable Flash search in a future version, whenever that comes out.

Ga Not Tracking Google Custom Search Queries

I have installed Google Custom Search on a clients site and it appears to be working properly. The Custom Search account, in the "Statistics" section, shows several queries every day. But in Google Analytics under "Site Search" for any time period it shows zero searches (it shows "0" for all parameters it can measure). I checked in Analytics Settings for the GA account and for "Site Search" it shows "Do Track Site Search". I understand it is necessary to make sure that setting is configured to track Custom Search data, and it appears to be set correctly.

Verizon, Google close to mobile search deal

NEWYORK (Agencies): US mobile service provider Verizon Communications Inc. is nearing an agreement with Google Inc. on a wide-ranging partnership, the Wall Street Journal said, citing people familiar with the situation. The deal under discussion would make Google the default search provider on Verizon devices and give it a share of ad revenue, the paper said. The deal is not yet final and the two sides are still negotiating on key issues, such as Google's desire to save information from user cellphone searches, it added. The online search giant has reportedly been in talks with the number-two US mobile carrier over a possible alliance for almost a year now. Verizon and Google are hoping to conclude the discussions in the next few weeks and the mobile carrier eventually wants to put the Google search bar on the home screen of its phones, t

Google launches free music download service in China

Google announced the launch of a free music-search service in China via its search engine, the Wall Street Journal reported. The service allows users to download licensed music files without charge and will be supported by advertising revenue split between Google, music companies and Chinese music website Top100.cn. Google did not specify which music labels have signed on. Internet users outside of China will not have access to the service. The move could help Google gain on Chinese rival search firm Baidu.com, which as of the second quarter held a 64.6% share in China's online search market compared to Google's 26.1%, according to data from technology consultancy Analysys International. A lawsuit was recently filed against Baidu for facilitating the download of unlicensed music via its search engine.
