Google Operating System “gOS”
Well, it is on. Google is attacking the Operating System Space. They are not boxing something up with millions of lines of code, they are actually providing a platform for their other apps. This is an open source OS that is juiced up to work better with Google.
Oh wait, Google isn’t the one putting this out. Well, the group who has produced gOS is basing this on Ubuntu Linux. That is what Google uses internally. I have to believe that this comes with a blessing from inside Google. Why wouldn’t it? This is free promotion for a slew of their products.
More users=More Ad Space
In any event, I know that that this is great for competition, pricing, and product quality.
Google Products Search Looking Good
Just in time for the holiday season, Google products has tightened up their “Products” search. In the past things seemed a bit scattered and not completely logical. My guess is that some of the experimentation with Google Base has led them to include certain fields. The ability to add your own fields to a Google Base product gives them quite a bit of information regarding important fields for particular item types.
Google Products might just be best suited as a mobile application. This new search interface leads me to believe that it is going more in that direction.
