Google's Music Search Launches with MySpace, LalaGoogle is teaming with MySpace, Lala and others to let users find millions of songs right from the search engine. This move is both a slam dunk and a given. It's a slam dunk because it will appeal to the millions of music lovers who want to find music results fast. It's a given because music is just another form of content Google is indexing as part of its universal search plan to organize the world's data online. October 22, 2009

Google Sidewiki Is Knol, SearchWiki Compromise, Sans the TediumGoogle Sidewiki is a browser sidebar launched from the Google Toolbar that lets users make comments on the content they stumble upon in Web searches. Having a commenting tool actionable from the highly-used Google toolbar might prove more useful for Google. The proof point for me is: Will I go back to it tomorrow? When I tested Knol and SearchWiki, I did not. Time will tell with Sidewiki if it has staying power. September 14, 2009
