==> Araby Launches

http://business.maktoob.com/feature.asp?id=20060914123154

Essentials: Arab search engine Araby launches ahead of Sawafi.
The Arab search market is ripe for serious growth over the next
several years, with a large sophisticated online audience and not
much in the way of Arab language specific search available until
now. There was a search engine launch expected by the end of this
year (http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7003335042) to be
called Sawafi. It looks like Sawafi was beaten to market by Araby
with this release.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

==> Google Loses Copyright Fight

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/14895882/

Essentials: Google, also in court to fight against copyright
complaints by Agence France Presse, lost a key battle today in
their fight to provide news search. The argument from Google that
the ruling attacks the fundamental way in which Google does
business is from an American legal perspective; that an entity
should not be blocked from being able to conduct business.

The note that there is implication Google may not be allowed to
crawl without permission first must have been drawn by the author
of the article because that is exactly true. Ignoring an
exclusion protocol and crawling away can constitute trespassing!

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

==> Google Forms Net PAC

http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-6116980.html

Essentials: After a rocky start, that included Senator McCain
commenting on Sergey Brin's move to influence Washington, Google
has now formerly formed Net PAC. This allows them to donate and
actually influence members of the government. Key issues for
Google will be Net Neutrality and staving off further harsh
criticisms about their acquiescence to the Chinese government.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

==> Google Hits 2006 High Mark

http://www.netb2b.com/article.cms?articleId=29263

Essentials: The latest search market share numbers from Hitwise
show Google has hit a high point so far during 2006. The numbers
are 60.29% Google, 22.58% Yahoo!, 11.56% MSN and 3.63% Ask.
