SEO ROCK

Five years ago, Gmail was just email. Later they added chat and then video chat, both built right in, so people had choices about how to communicate from a single browser window. Today, communication on the web has evolved beyond email and chat — people are sharing photos with friends and family, commenting on news happening around them, and telling the world what they’re up to in real-time. This new social sharing is valuable, but it means there’s a lot more stuff to sort through, and it’s harder to get past status updates and engage in meaningful discussions.

For this Google is launching Google Buzz, a new way to start conversations about the things people find interesting and share updates, photos, videos and more. Buzz is built right into Gmail, so there’s nothing to set up — everyone with a Gmail account is automatically following their friends they email and chat with the most.

Google is planning to launch an experiment that we hope will make Internet access better and faster for everyone. They plan to test ultra-high speed broadband networks in one or more trial locations across the country. Their networks will deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today, over 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections. Their offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people.

From now until March 26th, they are asking interested municipalities to provide them with information about their communities through a Request for information (RFI), which they will use to determine where to build their network.
