Watch out Apple iPad, here's Google's one?

Only last week Steve Jobs announced the iPad. He then fired his gun at Google saying that their "no evil" - policy was bullshit and that Google was aiming on competing with them on mobile. Do you think he then knew that Google was making the next competitor of the iPad?

Yandex reports rise in revenues

Russian search giant Yandex this week reports that 2009 has been a good year for them. Their earnings show a 14% rise in revenues.

The revenues are up to a total of 8.7 billion rubles (about 205 million euros). The number of advertisers grew 55%. More than four-fifths of Yandex' revenue comes from advertisers paying for links alongside other results.

The growing numbers show a trend in which search engine usage keeps on growing. In Russia search engines are handling almost twice as much traffic in December 2009 as a year earlier.

My two weeks notice: I'm leaving Searchcowboys

I have some news to share with you. And it might surprise some of you. As said many times before, all good things come to an end. And now, my period as a Chief Editor of Searchcowboys also comes to an end. In two weeks time, in the same week SES London opens its doors, after almost 1500 posts, I will be writing my last post as Chief Editor of Searchcowboys.

This might come as a surprise to some of you and might raise questions because after all I am part-owner of the website, how can you resign from something you own? And no, you are not getting rid of me that easy, I will be around doing a lot of other stuff. Let me explain.... read more
