In India, Google Searches for Users with Print Ads
By Robin Wauters
TechCrunch submits:
Different markets have different needs for marketing products or services. We all know that much. But that doesn’t take away the weirdness of a company like Google (GOOG) advertising its core product (online search) by using ink that was printed on paper.

Akamai Launches iPhone Video Streaming and Showcase Portal
Yesterday, Akamai (AKAM) "officially" announced support for variable bit rate streaming of live and on-demand video content for the iPhone and iPod touch and has launched a new showcase site at iphone.akamai.com. The site which has been live for about a month, showcases content from about a dozen content providers including FOX News, MTV and USA Today amongst others. Akamai's new iPhone streaming service is based on the standard HTTP delivery protocol which for Akamai, means they can utilize more of their HTTP network infrastructure as opposed to proprietary based streaming protocols. Earlier in the week I came across the showcase site and tested the quality and while it looks pretty good, there were times when the video appeared choppy. Hard to know what exactly caused that as the videos as they play now, don't give you any performance or quality indicators in the player to know if your connection is having problems. That's one feature I'd like to see in the player and one that most PC based video players already have built in.

As the DOJ Pounces, Google Makes Book Search Even Better
By Leena Rao
TechCrunch submits:
Google (GOOG) received some unfortunate news Thursday, with the U.S. Department of Justice formally announcing the investigation of the $125 million settlement Google made with the Author’s Guild to pay authors a nominal fee for copyrighted works it has scanned and made available on the Web. The settlement has drawn its fair share of critics, including Jeff Bezos. But Google keeps on plugging away, making its book search better and better.

Bing's Future Unclear
Susquehanna Financial Group analyst Marriane Wolk has scoured the Internet for intelligence on Microsoft’s (MSFT) new search engine Bing, and come up with the conclusion that the appeal of the new service, and its staying power, is uncertain. “The long term verdict for Bing and its ability to drive sustainable share gains (post Microsoft’s ~$100 million advertising spree) is still a long way from being determined,” she writes. Wolk quotes market share data from StatCounter showing that Bing has gained half a percentage point of share in Internet search since it appeared. She also found 13,000 news articles on Google (GOOG) news since the service came out. On the other hand, she quotes Web site ClickZ, showing that there’s been little gain in search spending to accompany Bing’s rise in popularity, with people using the site for “curiosity-driven searching.”

Joost: Sometimes Too Much Money Is a Curse, Not a Blessing
I am not going to rehash Om Malik's excellent summary of "What went wrong with Joost" but I did want to dive deeper into a few points. As I have always said, raising too much money can be a curse and not a blessing. Here is an excerpt from my post in 2006: Trust me, I love having well capitalized companies. However, having too much money can be a curse, not a blessing. More often than not, I see management lose financial discipline and avoid making hard decisions when capital is abundant and not scarce. To many executives, money does solve all problems. And yes, having money allows an entrepreneur to do many things with his business like hire more talent, scale the back-end infrastructure, and ramp up sales and marketing. On the other hand, when an entrepreneur has too much money, the tendency is to throw more money to fix a problem. Sales are not ramping up quickly enough so let's hire more sales people. Marketing is not generating enough leads so let's spend more money on lead generation. Engineering keeps missing its product release date so let's hire more engineers. And what happens is that more money gets poured in and that only exacerbates the problem as management never really spends the time to dig deep to understand what the underlying issue is and to fix it at the source rather than layer on more resources. In other words, an entrepreneur only hastens his downward spiral by spending more money on an inefficient business strategy.

MySpace: Too Little, Too Late?
We’ve confirmed that the change just occurred this evening, although MySpace PR is as usual not responding. They refuse to confirm that the logo is new, or say why they changed it. It sure is absurd to have a conversation that goes something like “So it looks like you’ve changed your logo this evening? No Comment. Uh huh. Ok, so any official reason why you changed it? No comment.” Trade secrets, I guess. And heck, I’m just happy someone still works there to pick up the phone.
Michael Arrington submits: 
From the “rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic file”: The new MySpace exec team has promised changes (”we have…laid the groundwork for an exciting new chapter of innovation for MySpace”). And they’re delivering. A couple of hours ago they changed the MySpace logo. No longer does it say “MySpace.com - A Place For Friends.” Now it simply says MySpace. The old logo is below.

Bing Keeps Its Foot on the Gas, Adds Tweets to Results
By MG Siegler

Bing is something of a rarity for Microsoft (MSFT) these days: It’s a product that actually has good natural buzz. And for good reason too, it’s a solid product. For certain queries, it seems more useful than even, yes, Google (GOOG). (And not just porn queries.) And Microsoft isn’t squandering away this opportunity, it’s keeping its foot on the gas, Thursday attacking what is perceived to be Google’s weakness: Real-time search results.

Akamai, Limelight to Deploy P2P for Higher Quality, Not Cost Savings
While there's been a lot of hype about peer-assisted technology [P2P] over the past few years, in reality, the technology has gotten very little adoption when it comes to being used to distribute video, let alone streaming. Today, most of the content being delivered via P2P is for software and gaming downloads and so far we haven't seen any of the major CDNs offer a real peer-assisted solution on their network. Later this year, that is going to change. Within the next two quarters, both Akamai (AKAM) and Limelight (LLNW) are going to bring to the market peer-assisted delivery services on their network. And unlike previous deals where some of the CDNs were simply reselling a third party P2P platform, these solutions are going to be their own, deeply deployed and integrated directly into their networks.

The Looming Facebook Privacy Fiasco
Facebook clearly wants its users to become more comfortable sharing their content across the web, because that’s what needs to happen if the site is going to take Twitter head-on with real-time search capabilities. Unfortunately that’s far easier said than done for the social network, which has for years trumpeted its granular privacy settings as one of its greatest assets. Now, those settings are turning into problematic obstacles.
Jason Kincaid submits: 
Facebook’s privacy conference call just ended, and it’s clear some major changes are going to be coming to the social network soon. Some of these, like a totally revamped privacy control page, are both long overdue and very welcome. But others, like the Transition Tool, seem ripe for disaster.

Amazon's Cloud: A SaaS Solution
Amazon.com (AMZN) is well known as one of the top e-commerce sites on the web, but over the last few years it has been adding a new component to its business model. Amazon has become a software as a service (SaaS) provider for enterprise clients through its on-demand cloud computing solution. SaaS is a rapidly growing and developing segment of technology, which follows a very different model than that of traditional perpetual license software sales. SaaS is still a nebulous and evolving concept, but in its most basic terms, SaaS is an on-demand delivery model that utilizes the internet to provide access to existing applications from anywhere with a web connection. Amazon.com provides its Web Services portal and in particular Amazon Elastic Cloud Computing service (aka Amazon EC2) as a truly on demand, as needed computing power and web infrastructure solution. Of course, most of Amazon’s clientele for Amazon EC2 are businesses that do not want to spend the resources to build out expensive servers until they have the revenue necessary to warrant such actions.
