Gmail Removes IMAP Services?
It is pretty early in the ordeal but about 10 minutes ago I began to get errors from my Outlook, which uses Google’s Gmail with the IMAP service.
It is now telling me “IMAP is not available for your account. (Failure)” and will no longer connect to Gmail.
It’s “Lights Out” for Google
If you happen to visit Google today, Saturday March 29, 2008, you will notice they have turned the lights out on their homepage, in an effort to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort called Earth Hour.
Although the adjustment to the color of Google’s front page doesn’t actually save any money, they are hoping more people will participate in a one hour “lights out” event from 8:00pm - 9:00pm on Saturday, 29 March 2008.
Hats off to Google for helping out a good cause and finally giving us a different view of their homepage… even if for only one day.
Google Indented Results… From a Different Domain?
Google uses an indented result as when it finds multiple results from the same website, the most relevant result is listed first, with other relevant pages from that site indented below it. At least most of the time.
On occasion, I do a few vanity searches on keywords I want to rank for. I was searching “Social Media Consulting” on Google today, and noticed something odd with my result. Google gave me an indented result… from a different site.
Google Presents… Search Box in the Seach Results?
I was out searching some of the Google Trends terms and noticed that one of the search results pages provided me a nice little search box that would allow me to directly search that site without having to visit it first.
