Google Instant promises live search results
by Maggie Shiels
Technology reporter,
BBC News, Silicon Valley
“Google has speeded up its internet search
engine by launching a product called Instant that
displays results as soon as users type in queries.
The service predicts a user's query and
modifies the displayed results as more letters are
typed into the search box.
The company described it as ‘search at the
speed of thought’.
Previously Google's suggested search terms
and did not reveal results until the ‘enter’ key was
hit or the ‘search’ button was clicked.
Google Instant goes live in the next week and on
mobile devices by autumn.
The service will initially be rolled out in the
US, UK, Spain, Germany, France and Russia.
Challenge to Microsoft?
In a demo event held at San Francisco's
Museum of Modern Art, Marissa Mayer, Google's
vice-president of search products and user
experience, typed in ‘sfm’ into the search box to
demonstrate the new service.
As she typed, results appeared instantly for
‘SF MOMA’ - the first predicted search result.
In another demo, when the letter ‘w’ was
entered, a list of links offering the ‘weather’
appeared along with images showing the
temperature.
‘We've actually predicting what query you
are likely to do and we're giving you results for
that,’ said Ms Mayer.
Google estimates that the typical user
spends nine seconds entering a query and 15
seconds looking for answers.
The company says Google Instant could
shave between two and five seconds off a typical
web search.
‘Google is betting all they have that speed is
everything,’ Harry McCracken of technology blog
Technologizer.com told the BBC.
‘Saving one or two seconds isn't that big of a
deal. One of my instant thoughts is that I am going
to see results I don't want because until I type
enough that it knows what I want, it is going to
show me links I am not interested in.’
Technology commentator Robert Scoble
said that the new feature would present a real
challenge to Microsoft search engine Bing, which
has been slowly chipping away at Google's lead in
the search market.
‘Playing with it, it dramatically changes the
way I do searches. I think it is a pretty major leap
forward but this means that Bing becomes far less
interesting and they now have to step up,’ said Mr.
Scoble.
Microsoft currently commands around 11%
of the US search market compared to Google's
66%, according to research firm Comscore.
Bing has gradually increased its market
share since launch, although its growth has
recently slowed.”

Starting a new job
by Rose Walker
“You just got the phone call and the position
is yours. It’s been a long time since you have
started a new job and you need to prepare yourself
for it. Will you really like your new position?
How will the people treat you and can you get
along with them? These are some of the questions
that might run through your mind when you start a
new job.
Before you start your new position you need
to get in the right frame of mind, so you can do
the best job you can do.
The first step in preparation for this new
journey is to let all your fears go. Don’t walk into
a new job with fear. This will keep you from
being productive. Having negative thoughts about
your new job will become a reality and this will
cause problems right there. Stay in the same frame
of mind you had when you applied for the
position. This was something that you obviously
wanted to do and was excited about doing. Keep
those same thoughts and attitude when you
actually start working your new job. By keeping
that attitude you will eliminate a lot of your
problems in the beginning with this new position.
Your way of thinking will become your way of
acting. Do a thorough research on your new
company so you can understand what they do and
how you will play a part in it.
Have a good understanding about the
company in full detail so it will give you that ease
you need to have for you to succeed. This will
allow you to have the confidence you will need to
start this new job and you won’t feel so lost when
you start interacting with your co-workers. Having
the right attitude will allow you to get along with
your co-workers even better. Everyone when they
start a new job is considered the new kid on the
block. This can make you feel left out right there,
since everyone usually know everyone else and
already have a comfort zone with each other. You
have to let them know by being in the right frame
of mind when you start that you can work with each and every one of them. If you come in with
that fear, it’s going to seem like you are a
unfriendly person and automatically no one will
want to have anything to do with you. This will be
a bad way to start off on your new job. You plan
to be there for awhile and communicating with
your co-workers on a daily base.
Your attitude and the way you present
yourself in the beginning is very important. It will
determine how your relationship will be throughout the job. Getting along with your boss and coworkers is important, it can help you to succeed or
be one of the causes to make you want to leave.
Starting a new job can be a wonderful
experience. Sure all of us are nervous about
stepping into a new environment and meeting and
dealing with new people. That’s what’s so
exciting about it, everything is new. You have to
look at it as a new journey in your life and not a
dreaded trip that you have to make. Erase all those
negative thoughts and fears you have so you can
go in with a positive attitude that will let you be a
positive person. Let this be a new spectacular and
fantastic time in your life. When you stop and
prepare yourself mentally for your new job, you
will be a success at it.”
