Video: Google Real-Time Search Event (Plus Noshing!)

December 8, 2009 at 1:03 am PT

Please see this disclosure related to me and Google.

Here is a short video BoomTown did at the Google search event yesterday, where the company launched a number of new features to its flagship offering–most of all, comprehensive real-time search.

Innovations also included a hopped-up mobile translation service, voice-querying in Japanese and Google Goggles, which searches from pictures you take on your mobile device.

This video includes one of the real-time data partners that Google (GOOG) announced today, MySpace’s Chief of Products Jason Hirschhorn, as well as Google PR dude Nate Tyler and a view of the superior spread the company put out for the occasion–unlike the food-free Bing search event by Microsoft (MSFT) a week ago.

Here is the video of Google’s presentation, which took place at the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley:

Mmmmm, that WAS tasty.

Now while it's good to see Google rise to the occasion of Microsoft competition, let's hope this doesn't go the way of the browser wars, and the earlier OS wars where the object of the competition is to see which big company can pump the most marginally useful features into their product just to satisfy the needs of industry comparison checklists.

That's how we got bloat in our browsers, and before that bloat in our OSs (or at least in the winner, Windows).

Hopefully as bloat comes to our web tools it will be OPTIONAL. Let Google and MS bog down their server farms with energy sapping doo-dads. Allow me to turn those features off so I can do what *I* want to do on my own machine.
