My Five Months With Google Chrome
From Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO, 1 day ago,
0 comments 
Om Malik wrote an interesting post about Google Chrome one month after the public launch. While I was reading Om’s post, I realized that I wrote a post for the Google Chrome release that I never published. I’ll include it here, and then let’s meet at the bottom and compare notes.
Like many Google [...]

Quick comment for pixelrn

I tried to leave a comment on pixelrn.com but the problem with talking about hacked sites is that you often end up using language that gets flagged as spammy. Here’s what I tried to say but the WordPress installation over on pixelrn wouldn’t let me:
Hi Beth, I checked and it doesn’t look like you have [...]

New meme: Tag five friends to register to vote
From Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO, 5 days ago,

Okay, I’ll help on this. A Google blog post and the corresponding video ask people to register to vote (find out how at http://maps.google.com/vote ) and/or send this video to five of their friends. I’m game for that, mainly because Jonah Hill is the funniest man in the world and he says to do it. [...]

Google Blogsearch and Techmeme

More and more people are spending free time (and work time) online and lots of those people want to discover interesting things on the web. Google Blogsearch’s new home page applies that insight with a browsable version of what’s going on in the blogosphere. The UI design is a little reminiscent of Google News, but [...]

Five fun smartphone tips
From Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO, 9 days ago,

Tip #1: See what you’re ordering. You’re at a restaurant and looking over the menu. But you don’t know the difference between a turkey bolognese and a turkey piccata. What to do? Fire up your iPhone, Android, or other smartphone and go to images.google.com and do a search for turkey bolognese. In just a few [...]

Where to submit Chrome feedback?
From Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO, 10 days ago,

The best place to submit Chrome feedback is at
http://groups.google.com/group/google-chrome-help
Not here (I’m going to disable comments on this post) and not over at Search Engine Roundtable. I still see a comment a day or so trickling in over there, probably because the post ranks highly for “Chrome feedback.”
Just to repeat, if you want a Chrome [...]

Google Moderator launches

Here’s a fun link for you. Google just released a free service called Google Moderator. This is a port to Google App Engine of an existing tool we use all the time at Google. Internally it was called Dory (after the fish who asked questions all the time in Finding Nemo).
What does Google Moderator do? [...]

Traveling => Light posting

I’m not-in-California for a few days, so expect light posting. If you want to try to guess where I’m visiting, I may start posting “Where is Matt?” hints on my Twitter stream for people that want to play along.
While I’m gone, enjoy the Android coverage. Even though I love my iPhone, I think lots of [...]

Sergey starts a blog!
From Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO, 19 days ago,
0 comments
I’ve checked with folks at Google and they confirmed that http://too.blogspot.com/ is Sergey Brin’s blog. The name “too” reflects Sergey’s additional life outside work. One of his first posts is about the fact that he might be more likely to develop Parkinson’s Disease when he’s older. That’s based on data from 23andMe, the personal genetics [...]

Shiny Chrome bits, plus a fresh tip

A few neat Chrome things that I’ve seen recently:
CrossOver ported the open-source Chromium browser over to Mac and Linux using Wine. Bear in mind that this is more of a proof-of-concept and not the official version, but you can still download the binaries and play with it.
If you like the look and feel of Chrome [...]

Best Yogurt in Silicon Valley?
From Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO, 22 days ago,
0 comments
Hi, my name is Matt, and I have a yogurt problem. It started last month when I discovered the joys of Pinkberry yogurt on my trip down to Los Angeles for SIGGRAPH.
Pinkberry is different from “normal” yogurt like TCBY because it has a tart (or slightly sour) taste. If you’re living in middle America with [...]

How to delete “nobody” files from a directory I own in FreeBSD?
From Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO, 24 days ago,
0 comments
Lazyweb, here’s a quick question for you. On a FreeBSD system, suppose I own a directory called “foo”. Inside that “foo” directory are some files (file1, file2, file3) owned by the “nobody” user. How do I delete those files? When I type the command “rm file1″ I get the response “rm: file1: Permission denied” even [...]

Are you ready for Talk Like a Pirate Day? It’s September 19th (same date every year), so it’s coming up fast. I recently stumbled across some really nice pirate fonts online. This one is called Windlass, for example:
Hat-tip to KPAO! which is a fun blog.
Every time I start looking at fonts, I always surface 3-4 [...]

Yesterday John Battelle emailed me to ask about Rae’s post. This will be a little inside baseball to some people who don’t live and breathe search and Twitter, but I figured I’d take what I emailed to John, add some pictures, and post it here. Here’s the email:
Sorry for the delay in replying; I’m really [...]
