Google bought PittPatt to you know face to face

Google's quietly pitter-pattering its acquisitive ways back into the controversial realm of facial recognition technology. To do that, the company busted out its oversized wallet to fold Pittsburgh-based PittPatt into the Mountain View borg. Founded by a trio of PhD's from Carnegie Mellon University, this three-man strong outfit specializes in the sort of object recognition software you've come to know as "tagging." Is this a reversal of the Do No Evil tech giant's prior waffling on the dubious visioning tech, or just another massive weapon in its social networking crusade against Facebook? We'd err on the side of both, although the company's new employees aren't exactly playing their cards for us to see. A brief statement on the

Social Networking Showdown: 8 Facebook Features Google+ Doesn't Have (Yet)

Google's latest foray into social networking, called Google+, is being compared strongly to Facebook. But the two social networking platforms still have a number of differentiating features. We pointed outsix things that Google+ can do that Facebook can't, but it's just as interesting to highlight what Facebook does that Google+ doesn't—so far, that is.

"So far" because Google+ is still in a trial phase, so it's not yet officially live or open to all to join, which means Google could add more features and tweak existing ones between now and when it opens the doors .

Google launches Plus to take on Facebook

The battle for the eyeballs of social media network users is intensifying, with Google launching a demo version of 'Google+' (called Google Plus), the search engine giant's renewed attempt to take on Facebook in the social networking arena.

While designing the new service, Google has kept in mind social circles, called plus circles, and a Twitter-inspired feature that resembles real-life social interactions. It allows users to selectively share information with specific groups within defined circles, rather than sharing it with all their social connections at once. One can create as many circles as one wishes to, for whatever categories one wants, adding friends and contacts simply by clicking and dragging names onto various circles.

“This is just the beginning...We're just getting warmed up...launching what we call a field trial period, an invitation-only approach to help smooth out the rough edges,” said an official Google post on the demo site.

Google's SPDY Project: The Successor to HTTP?

If there’s anything Google loves as much as search, it’s speed. Chrome was built on a foundation of speed. Faster JavaScript, faster graphics acceleration, faster browser startup. Google Code has a page dedicated specifically to speed. And on top of all that, Google started a project called SPDY (SPeeDY. Get it?) that aims to reach beyond the influence of the Chrome browser to speed up the entire web.

Until now, SPDY has been an internal experiment at Google--as you can imagine, rolling out a protocol that modifies HTTP is no easy task. That’s exactly what SPDY does, and Google’s used the protocol to lower page load times by as much as 64%. To take the first step into the web at large, Google’s partnering with an optimization company called Strangeloop--together they’ll insert SPDY into a software layer between Internet servers and users.
