Google’s (GOOG) latest update to its search engine: It’s “Google Suggest” feature, which tries to save you time by guessing what you’re trying to search for, is now turned on by default
.
It’s not as creepy as it looks — suggestions are based on search popularity among all Google users, not just you. But it does tell us a lot about what Google users are looking for most often, like how to get rich, procreate, lose weight, and stalk celebrities. And that’s a little bizarre.

Reddit Goes really Open Source, Now Lets You Create Your Own Social News Site
After social news site Reddit went open-source in June, this was a logical next step: letting members take the code and import it to their own sites, creating social-news hubs of their own. That’s the company’s latest announcement, per a blog post on Tuesday.
“Today is the day Reddit fully becomes a platform for building link sharing sites,” a post on the company blog explained. Technically, developers could already do this. But now the site is making it easier for them to do so, and letting them customize the design of the voting system to fit their own sites; more importantly, they can import them off the Reddit domain.
The site’s humor-inclined team referred to the site update as “somewhere between when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly and when six hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium and (eventually) life as we know it.” More likely, it’ll make the news-voting system proliferate on sites that wouldn’t otherwise have it; Reddit’s team brought up the example of an entire Reddit voting system devoted to people who love bacon, for example.

With journalists, delegates and bloggers toting minicams, and multiple live feeds emanating from the floor, the coronation of Barack Obama and Joe Biden will certainly be the most-covered in convention history.
But, as this video from the Chicago 1968 Democratic Convention reminds, more cameras doesn’t necessarily mean more drama. Still, it will be interesting to see what moments do get captured now that every just about every attendee is a potential live broadcaster.
The Democratic National Committee is streaming the procedings starting at 3 p.m. Mountain time on its own site via a deal with Level 3. UStream is the official live Webcaster from The Big Tent, a two-story temporary structure where bloggers unable to get convention floor passes will be penned in for the next four days. Craiglist founder Craig Newmark is already checking in.
The people over at the Poynter Institute have put together this Twitter stream of journalists covering the convention. It’s got a good mix of traditional newspaper and broadcast folks as well as bloggers/new media types.
Has the social-networking phenomenon gotten so hot that it’s about to burn out? You’ve got to wonder. There are niche sites for everybody — and I do mean everybody.

Microsoft Ranks as Top U.S. Online Display Advertiser in June, According to comScore Ad Metrix - Major Display Ad Campaign Promotes Windows Live Search Programs
RESTON, VA, August 26, 2008 – comScore, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world, today released its June ranking of the top online display ad publishers and advertisers, based on data from the comScore Ad Metrix service. Fox Interactive Media, which owns MySpace.com, ranked as the top display ad publisher with 15.9 percent of all display ads viewed, while Microsoft was the top display advertiser with 1.7 percent of total views.
comScore Ad Metrix provides detailed reporting of the number and types of online display ads viewed by Internet users in the U.S. market. The syndicated service measures the number of times each advertiser’s ads are viewed and where they are viewed, the demographics of those exposed to the ads, and the reach and frequency of an advertiser’s campaign. Ad Metrix also provides samples of the creative ad units with information on ad sizes.
Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin and CEO Eric Schmidt sat down unexpectedly Thursday for 75 minutes with a dozen journalists to give their impressions on the state of the technology community and Google’s place in it.
Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin and CEO Eric Schmidt sat down unexpectedly Thursday for 75 minutes with a dozen journalists to give their impressions on the state of the technology community and Google’s place in it.
In a relaxed discussion, the trio fielded questions about Yahoo, Microsoft and their relationships to Google. The discussion was unusual because Allen & Company, which organizes and runs the Sun Valley Media Conference in this remote corner of Idaho, allows for journalists to ask occasional questions. But a 75-minute press conference is very much the oddity. Moreover, most of the moguls gathered here have studiously avoided answering anything substantive about their dealmaking plans when accosted by journos.
The trio of Google execs also used the opportunity to talk about the inroads the company is making with its own branded mobile phone as a replacement for the iPhone, as well as the Chinese market and how they’re treated there — and even Google’s inhouse educational programs and the salaries and potential of teachers.
But first they had a few words about Bill Gates’ company.
“Microsoft has a long history of having deals that look quite good and end up looking not so good when you look at the fine print,” Schmidt said of Microsoft’s dealings with and to acquire Yahoo.
“We took the position that the world is better off with an independent Yahoo!”

Scrabulous removed from Facebook

Facebook users in the UK have finally lost access to Scrabulous, the unofficial version of the Scrabble word game, after a formal complaint by the rights holder Mattel.
Scrabulous has built a user base of more than 600,000 people globally on the social networking site, but it was closed to Facebook users in the US and Canada after a similar rights claim by Hasbro, the North American Scrabble rights holder.
The game is still available in India, where it was developed by Rajat and Jayant Agarwalla. But the brothers were critical of Facebook for giving in to Mattel’s demand to remove the game on Friday from the rest of the world, including the UK.
