I’m currently using Google Chrome, the new browser from duh… Google. I’ve stopped using Mozilla and Micro$oft’s Internet Explorer for quite some time now. Google Chrome is “cleaner”, faster and has a better interface.
But do you know that there are some shortcuts to make your life easier if you’re a Chrome user?
Let me just share with you the Top 10 search terms on Google and Yahoo by Filipinos. There’s a great difference between searches from the 2 search giants. For Google, the top search term was “lyrics” while Yahoo had “American Idol” as the top search term for last year.
The complete Top 10 list after the jump.

Engadget, in its breaking news story, wrote that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said that, “We have great respect for Yahoo!, and together we can offer an increasingly exciting set of solutions for consumers, publishers and advertisers while becoming better positioned to compete in the online services market.”
Balmer also adds; “Today, the market is increasingly dominated by one player who is consolidating its dominance through acquisition. Together, Microsoft and Yahoo! can offer a credible alternative for consumers, advertisers, and publishers.”
Isn’t it obvious who that “player” is? Cough-cough.
And now time for our weekend infotech news!
The world’s biggest brand and one with the deepest coffers seem to have nothing better to do with their money.
Google has just waged a $30 million standing offer to anyone who could build a robotic rover to actually land on the moon, move for a few minutes and then send video and data back to earth.
Google has announced that they are sponsoring the Google Lunar X Prize. Cnet further explains “The contest invites private teams from around the world to build a robotic rover capable of roaming the lunar surface for at least 500 meters and then sending video, images and data back to Earth, among other feats. The idea behind the challenge is to urge private industry to develop new robotic and virtual-presence technology to reduce the cost of space exploration.”
Just did a check on a Google search for “RF Episode 2 Philippines” and my 2 articles came up on the first page. Rawwr!
It goes to show how S.E.O (Search Engine Optimization) tips, when put into practice, really works. Kudos and gratitude goes out to the “chief”, Kiven Codamon – for his inavaluable aid.
Pat on the back also to the official RF Episode 2 microsite for being on top of me (sounds kinda kinky /heh). Anyways, here’s a screeny of that google result:
