World Cup and Caffeine from Google
While following the World Cup in South Africa I sometimes find myself searching for scores and more information about the games and players. That is also the reason for Google launching a new service where you can keep up to date…
The service basically helps you find information you need (tadaaaaaa 🙂 ) – so when you complete a search related to the World Cup, you’ll see live scores, latest results and match schedules at the top of your search results. You’ll also find TV broadcast information and quick links for game recaps, live updates, standings and team profiles. The feature works on all Google search domains in 44 languages, including Afrikaans, Amharic, Swahili and Zulu.
Example searches: [world cup], [world cup spain] and [world cup group g]
Caffeine indexing system
Also just announced is Google’s completion of a new web indexing system called Caffeine. This new indexing system provides fresher results for web searches (nearly 50 percent fresher than Google’s previous system) and it’s the largest collection of web content Google has ever offered. The reason for building Caffeine was to help us meet the evolving expectations of their users, especially as content across the web becomes more global and is published in real time.
