Here in Plymouth we are seeing more and more “social signals” and many more social recommendations from our sphere’s of influence – friendship

I see Google Buzz, + 1, Twitter, Facebook and even Awareness working to help show sites in searches using Google

Some colleagues/friends and acquaintances of mine all over the United States are seeing massive shifts in search results using some stunning social signals.

I have been reverse engineering some of my Google results and see some interesting new patterns every day -

One word watch out for BLOGGER

Here is what Google have to say

Google Social Search helps you discover relevant content from your social connections, a set of your online friends and contacts. Content from your friends and acquaintances is sometimes more relevant and meaningful to you than content from any random person. For example, an online movie review is useful, but a movie review from your best friend can be even better.

Telephone Services Dead Dog?

Google Talk Interface

I hate phone numbers. They’re a relic of an outmoded system that both wireless and wireline carriers use to keep people trapped on their services — a false technological prison built of nothing but laziness and hostility to consumers. …

Why can’t I pick up any phone from any carrier, enter my phone service information, and be on my way, just as with email or IM or Skype? Why are we still pretending that phone service is at all different from any other type of data? The answer to almost all of these questions is carrier lock-in — your phone number is a set of handcuffs that prevents you from easily jumping ship, and they know it.

Google Talk is the one to watch! We used it in the United States before we moved back to Plymouth and it is mind numbingly brilliant PLUS you get to choose a local number.

We use Skype with a paid account but can’t buy a local Plymouth (01752) number to go with it.

No silly line rentals – if you like Skype you will love Google Talk

Google and Internet in Great Britain

Eric Schmidt in Buenos Aires, Argentina, durin...

Internet and Great Britain

Eric Schmidt of Google talks on the Internet and Great Britain

This country is still one of the world’s leaders in technology, innovation and inventions, writes Eric Schmidt .

I am not sure the inventors of the internet were thinking of camelids when they created a technology that would change the world. Happily, Adrian Holcombe, founder of an alpaca farm in Swindon, had other ideas. Wanting to expand his customer base beyond the area close to his business, he set up a website. Customers can buy scarves, rugs and leg warmers made from alpaca wool and if they really want to splash out they can purchase their very own alpaca for £10,000. Adrian’s business is booming thanks to online advertising, which alerts potential new customers every time someone searches for alpaca goods. Adrian’s alpaca gloves have even made it to the West End, on the hands of the cast of the new musical Shrek.

This is something the UK should be proud of, because it is not just Adrian who is reaping the economic benefits of the web: small businesses up and down the country have seized the online opportunity. When you think of technological leaders, many people point to the US or Japan (NYSE: MCO – news) , but it is the UK that is leading the world in e-commerce a testament to this country’s entrepreneurialism and willingness to embrace new technology.

With the global economy still on shaky ground, much of the talk focuses on collapsed banks and budget turmoil, so it is easy to overlook the internet as a key source of solid growth. Consider these numbers: the UK internet economy was worth £100?billion in 2009, according to the Boston Consulting Group. That is roughly 7.2 per cent of GDP. It is projected to reach 10 per cent by 2015 and that is a conservative estimate. Who knows what new inventions and ideas will emerge from British start-ups in the next few years? There is a growing culture of online entrepreneurship and venture capital investment here that I think will yield great results.

I am frequently asked where the next great advances in technology will come from where the next Google (NasdaqGS: GOOG – news) will emerge. Some people seem to think there is a magic potion that created Silicon Valley and the companies that thrive there. In fact, the recipe is much simpler, particularly in the internet age. The history of innovation from the printing press to the telegraph to the internet itself shows that where there are clusters of people or companies exchanging information and exploring new ideas and new ways of doing things, invention becomes possible.

Google emerged from this kind of creative forge. Its (Paris: FR0010370163 – news) founders figured out a better way to find and organise information on the internet because they were part of an innovative community. They didn’t have that fabled “eureka” moment. Theirs was a process made possible by a network of ideas and opportunities. The good news is that in the age of the internet, every person can be a catalyst for change and every company an engine of innovation. The internet is creating a world that is richer in every way and that prosperity belongs to us all. Globally, hundreds of millions of people are living lives that are served and enriched by technology. Our societies are being transformed with new growth, new jobs and new opportunities.

We don’t have to hope that people will stumble on great new ideas. That is not how innovation happens, and it is rarely how businesses grow. But we do have to encourage people and businesses to get online. I have seen data showing that, of the world’s 90 million small businesses, only 25 per cent have a website. There is untapped potential here, without question. Only the largest and wealthiest companies can afford to advertise on television, but any company can build its brand online. Today, there are more than one million advertisers using Google AdWords, the majority of which are small and medium-sized businesses.

Take a company called Scotweb in Edinburgh, which sells kilts, bagpipes and tartans and is one of Google’s advertisers. Its online store sells 12,195 types of tartan and fabrics, far more than it could stock in a shop. It has become a £1.5?million business, and its internet presence means that 80 per cent of its sales come from more than 100 countries overseas. But online advertising has a positive effect that extends beyond these businesses: users get free, economically beneficial services such as search and email because of it.

Last year, advertising-supported services across the EU were worth roughly 100? billion euros to consumers, according to a study conducted by McKinsey. This value is expected to grow to 190?billion euros by 2015. Still, the internet is not just about selling things online. From this commerce, new ideas and innovations will emerge. Small businesses will form large and dynamic creative communities.

There are increasing numbers of what I like to call micro-multinationals. These are businesses with up to 10 employees who see themselves serving a global clientele. This was not possible before this generation of technology. So, when I look at the weakest parts of the global economy, I have no doubt that these small businesses, many of them here in the UK, will lead us to recovery.

Eric Schmidt is executive chairman of Google

Groupon Complaints and Google Offers

Image via Wikipedia

Groupon Complaints Upheld

The group-buying website Groupon has had a number of complaints about its adverts upheld by the advertising watchdog, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).

Banners on its site promising discounted flowers, meals and travel did not actually allow items to be bought for prices advertised.

Groupon said the problem lay with its German arm, which created the ads.

I have to confess that the never ending flood of “Fish Pedicure” and “Hair Loss” ads are getting tiresome.

We have Google Offers to look forward to though so don’t despair
