Search Engines Notes

Hi :)!
Now you can translate texts and sites from any language to any other one with Google. The limitations, such as translate from English to Language and from Language to English have disappeared, moreover the translation page has been slightly modified.

Interestingly enough, AJAX Language API also supports multi-way translation, although it doesn’t say so in the guide. I didn’t hesitate to benefit from that wonderful option – so my previously primitive associative translator has acquired an interesting interface along with new options. J Instant swap of languages (point at ») and possibility of changing the safe search pictures on the fly is now a reality.

The new service contains many articles on the most hottest topics of web-elaboration: security, efficiency, caching, DOM manipulation, CSS styles and so on. Over 8000 JavaScript lines: internal Google library is available under the open-source license. There is also the guide with examples, covering all HTML elements, features, DOM methods and all CSS attributes.

Manhattan has been chosen the initial place for the technology testing. “Elabration of the technology took over a year and several years of preliminary research. The technology still needs to be polished, as some false responses are present, that may lead to the deterioration of the image quality in the StreetView service itself; at the same time the face is partly shade, and that is exactly what was originally intended” – John Hanke said.

April 2008, site reach by American visitors.
Source: comScore Google sites - 141,080 million (+18% compared with last year)
Yahoo sites – 140, 613 million (+7%).

In recent years there has been a stable balance: Google was the absolute search leader, while Yahoo had the top position in general number of visitors (mail, pictures and so on). But a historical event has happened, as according to the recent statistics by comScore for April 2008, the site empire of Goggle managed to overtake Yahoo and become number one. Still, absolute dominance is out of the question: the margin between the first and the second position is only 0.25 percent; but we’ll see what happens next.
