USEFUL LINK: Five observations from a web designer after reading “What Would Google Do?”

December 1st, 2009 No comments

I’ve only scanned this link to a blog post from “Jeff Wong Design” where he shares his notes from a web designer’s point of view after reading “What Would Google Do?” by Jeff Jarvis.

At first blush, this seems like good commonsense stuff that’s so easy to ignore and often is.

I will read it more carefully and share my observations from what I learned.

Has anybody read the book?  What about Jeff’s observations?  Agree?  Disagree?  Are they helpful?

Is Steve Kayser right about number of URLs in Google index?

I should probably feel good about getting a blog post high on a search engine results page.  Steve Kayser at his Riffs, Tiffs and What Ifs says that Google indexes more than one trillion unique URLs and that it has more than two billion searches each day.

Wow.  Try to wrap your head around that and what it means for your communication efforts.  In his post, he explores some of those questions.
