Google copyright clarification
Google talks about respecting content owners and protecting their rights.
Google slowish?
Supposedly Thursday saw some people having issues connecting to Google services. Some updates in the works maybe?
Google Notebook improvements
Google has improved its four month old Notebook service that lets you collect and organize info that you find throughout your searches. This is a tool that I personally should be utilizing more than I do. It cuts down on that long list of bookmarks that seem to accumulate like wild fires.
Google is the local search leader
Over 30% of local searches use Google. While 29% use Yahoo, and 12% search with MSN.
Google Transit trip planner adds more cities
Google has been busy working with cities to get their local transit maps and schedules online. The new cities to join include:
- Eugene, Oregon
- Honolulu, Hawaii
- Seattle, Washington
- Tampa, Florida

Wow, how did that bug get into the map? It seems that maps were somehow scanned from film (I hope it makes sence)
