Is Search Really 90% Solved?  —  Jessica Guynn has an excellent interview with Google's Marissa Mayer today about Google's first ten years (today is arguably Google's tenth birthday).  Good stuff in there - Marissa talks about Google's accomplishments in search and advertising …

Harry McCracken / Technologizer:
A World Without Google  —  Ten years ago today, Google's filing for incorporation as a business was accepted.  It's far from the only date one might choose to mark the company's tenth birthday-and as I write this, I don't see any celebrating going on at Google's home page or corporate blog …

The “Feedization” Of The Web (continued)  —  Back in March 2006 I wrote a post about the “feedization of the web UI” where I observed that I was seeing more and more web UIs that reminded me of the news feeds that are common in the financial markets.  I predicted that we'd see more of that in the coming years.
Ionut Alex Chitu / Google Operating System:
The Troubles with Google FeedBurner  —  Migrating FeedBurner to Google Accounts hasn't been a smooth process and the new FeedBurner doesn't look very promising.  Last month, Google officially launched AdSense for Feeds and asked those who want to join the program to “burn” their feeds using FeedBurner.
