Lately News in Search Engine industry

1, The Bing wave has caught Google’s attention. In a report published in the New York Post, Google has assembled a small team of top engineers to respond to the emergence of Bing, led by Google co-founder Sergey Brin. Is Google just being vigilant, or is the tech juggernaut genuinely concerned that Bing could be the entity that finally challenges it for market share?

Brin, according to sources inside the tech behemoth, is himself leading the team of search-engine specialists in an effort to determine how Bing’s crucial search algorithm differs from that used by the company he founded in 1998 with Stanford University classmate Larry Page.

2, Google is addressing real-time problem and seems to be preparing to release its own microblogging search engine. This new product will sort results by relevancy, will be integrated with standard Google search, and will appear based on frequently-used keywords or current events. It also looks like its main source of results will come from Twitter .

While not an absolute confirmation of the microblogging search engine’s existence, it’s tough for us to believe that Google isn’t working on something to search Twitter and the other microblogs. This would drastically improve Google’s real-time results and shore up a weakness it currently possesses.
