Google has finally showing the results in a way where customers can choose which website to click for from their search phrase results. On the result page Google now will warn saying This site may harm your Computer
This will provide the option to user not to click on that link which may have virus or any sort of malware.
Take a look at the screen grab that i took this morning from the google search results .

Working with Google Wave
Its been a couple of week since i actually started working with google wave . Since google has bragged about it being a developer’s version I could see why they have stated .
Here are some of my experience using it for the last 14 days.
Google wave is slow
When i want to write any reply to user’s message it take a while before the text box appears .
The status bar doesn’t ever show the status as done. It gives the user a wrong impression that something will show up as its taking time to load up.
Sometimes when i reply any user i wonder the message is sent as everything looks static.
It logged me out many time for no reasons.
How useful Google wave is ?
Well as its meant for online collaboration it servers the primary purpose .
I no longer need to save the chat conversation and it keep the track of everything.
Did Google Wave helped my work to be smoother?
To be honest it takes a while before practically I would be confident on this application. Since I am not using this replacing my existing medium immediately its difficult to say it actually helped me to make my work smoother.

Being A SEO Consultant
I look at different forums and jobs board where they have requirements for SEO consultants.
As we all know to be a SEO Consultant there is no such thing like a proper acadameic courses. I wonder how is it possible to master this art of a SEO consultant. I wonder how we would have created web pages should the need of SEO consultant wasnt there. Or the phenomena Search Engine optimization was not marked to its fuller extent.
Sometimes I feel its just a way to sell service and create a window of opportunities . Back in 2001 when i started working professionally in the web industry we never felt the requirement of having a carrer of a SEO consultant. Rather I used to work as a web consultant doing various work in the web industry.
I realize the need of seo consultant not for the sake of having it but to enhance the side of online marketing using the best practices. I also realize the niche in the market of a consultant just to look at the aspect of the website which was undermined.

Open Source Versus Best Spoke Web Application
We are in an era where the market place is very competitive and fast growing. The requirements from the website owners these days are specific and they are more educated on what they actually want unlike few years back. Website owners can now say I want this website to do this and I have this budget which is SMALL . They approach us by saying I want a site with a CMS ( Content Management System) or they could be even specific by saying I want Drupal or Joomla for my website as a backend .
Now as a web development company what I would look for is an alternative solution which is cheaper faster and which can be easily customized. I wont be looking to do things which would take time and still may not produce the same result that the client want. I would then go for an open source which is already available . I do what is required to be done within the stated time and within the SMALL budget given by the client .
It may be an advantage to a business that we don’t have to spent hours doing the same thing which is already been done. Having said that it may to some extent derail the creativity of a web developer. I wonder if someday we wont have anything to do except we would be assembling all the web applications. And website owners will look for open source application assembler.
Open Source Good Bad EVIL ?
Specs Based Design Hampers Creativity
I was going through some of the specs that a client sent to me today after we sent him back with the initial design as per his business requirements. When I got back feedback from the client it was all over the place including some specs design which if we had done would look completely a bizzare. The designer who worked on that initially was jumping on his seat and wondering about his experience in design industry.
Obviously there would a certian level of guidance on where the design should head . It would be unfair to the designer when it comes to potraying the design following the specs exactly.
It not only hampers the creativity of a deisnger but it also keeps the designers into a certain boundry which they wont come out in future.

Doorway Page Still A Pain For Google
I was going through some of the search term today just to see if google has imporved the search results. I was searching for popular phrase which has quite a lot of results in google. I clicked on the second page in google and found domains ending with .EDU are being used as a doorway page. I wonder how difficult it is for google to identify such a blunder.
Google Assuming .EDU extension domain to be high in a high priority , companies are able to exploit it.

Search Engine Optimization Is absolute
We call is Google Entry Optimization as SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ) is absolute term now. We all are competing to show ourselves into the ranking of google only. If we are not in google we are not doing any business. We are fooling our client by showing them in yahoo, bing or any other popular search ranks.
