Google to Lower Garbage Count in Searches

All eyes are posed on San Francisco this week…Apple is holding a large press conference to announce something new.  The rumor mill is in high gear with all kinds of speculation…is it the new iPhone 5, a new iPad, or yet something else? Frankly I think Apple starts most of these rumors to build up interest.  Whatever it is, we will have for you on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Google is on a mission to give you higher quality search results and less garbage. I applaud that, for sure. And were you aware the Internet will have to change from IPV4 to IPV6? What’s that you say? What is it? Actually its extremely important, so if you are curious, read the article below. - JRC

Google search to reward high-quality sites

With the latest changes to its search algorithm, Google is aiming to reward Web sites that offer original, in-depth content at the same time that it penalizes those that simply borrow content from others. Rolled out this week, the changes will help ensure that sites considered to be of "high quality" will rank higher in Google's search results, while those deemed of "low quality" will get dumped lower in the ranks. Google is clearly looking to crack down on "content farms," sites that purposely tailor their pages with content that often makes little to no sense but is loaded with keywords and other information designed solely to generate a huge number of hits.

Shoddy Web experiences driving users from the mobile Internet

According to the results of a recent survey by Antenna Software, poor experiences are deterring users from surfing the mobile Web via their Internet-enabled smartphones. Device makers, Web designers, and mobile service providers alike have their work cut out for them to make the mobile Internet experience more affordable and appealing.

The New Internet Protocols: What Users Should Know

IPv6 has been introduced, allowing a previously impossible variety of Internet addresses to be used now that the supply of useable addresses governed by the IPv4 standard has been exhausted. But what does this change mean for everyday surfers? Most computers will be able to process the new standard, but an IPv6-capable OS is needed.

So Many Online Coupon Sites, So Little Time

Groupon thrives on a simple concept: It posts one deal a day for local restaurants, bars and other businesses, and visitors have 24 hours to sign up for the deal. Now a flurry of copycat services have popped up, including LivingSocial, Scoutmob, DailyCandy Deals and Gilt City. How do the contenders stack up against the original daily-coupon king?
