Finally, some may say. Google has announced it will open an office in Bucharest, hiring a country manager (Dan Bulucea, who left in March from Microsoft Romania). Looking at Mr. Bulucea’s background, i can bet Google is here to offer support to business clients to spend more money on adwords.

I was looking for how people got to this blog. It doesn’t have many links, so people get here mostly by searching for topics related to me. There are a few guys (Bogdan Gavrila, or Mihai Moruzov as he likes to call himself, among them) who search for all king of stuff. I mention on […]

In the begining there was Internet Explorer. The fact that all spyware was directed to it made Firefox gain 10-20% marketshare. Inserting the search box on the top right of the browser made Google the king of search.

TechCrunch noticed the other day that Google Buzz is kind of dead. Google botched this in a big way. Why and how? First of all, shoving it on our throats. Big mistake. People were searching like crazy for ways of removing this bitch from their mail account. What happened to the invite? It worked on […]

The problem is not how fast is the search, but rather how relevant is. But Google started it and everybody follows. Uuu, let’s index twitter. Why? Who cares about twitter? That is right, nobody.

Press killed itself. It was a combination of lack of professional journalism and news overload. Almost all of Romanian economic […]

Romanian sites have found a very good way not to get banned by Google for spamming. And spamming hard. They become Google certified something. Certified for using Google apps. Certified adsense users. Whatever. And no matter how many times you report them to Google, they are still alive and spamming today. Because everybody, including Google, […]

So, in order for me to fill a DMCA complaint, i must send an actual letter to Google. Of course, 99% of the people do not do that. And Google bets on it. So, blogger.com and youtube.com and picasa is filled with copyrighted material. And Google makes money on it.

It would be great if everybody could see it. And it would be even greater if it would clean up the web of spammy/seo sites. I would really love to see google get tough with it.
