Google have come to the last straw with China and may pull out due to the constant restraints set by the country. But Chinese people have already got a replacement lined up, Goojje launched on January 14^th this year.

Goojje has a search engine and provides social networking services. It also has a Google-styled logo in it’s homepage. The name, Goojje, was chosen by the new search engine due to it’s play on words. The final syllable “jje” sounds like the Chinese word “older sister,” while the “gle” syllable of “Google” is pronounced like the Chinese word for “older brother”.

It’s funny how Goojje was launched just as Google gets hit with massive restraints and sophisticated hacking. Conspiracy?

If it’s not enough for Google to dominate the Internet, it has gone and got word of the decade as well as voted by the American Dialect Society (ADS).
In its annual Word of the Year vote, the society said the use of the word Google, meaning “to search the Internet”, came because almost everybody on the planet uses the term.
Other finalists included “9/11”, “Facebook”, “blog”, “text”, “Wi-Fi” and “war on terror”. But none quite had the Google effect.
The 119 year-old society confirmed members include linguists, lexicographers, grammarians, historians, researchers, writers, authors, editors, university students, and independent scholars.
“In conducting the vote, they act in fun and do not pretend to be officially inducting words into the English language,” it added.
But one thing all these geeky people know is Google is the word!

These memories are taken from Yolkstalks new favourite website – Thenoughtiespage.com. It’s the first online time capsule of the Noughties, a ‘unique account of the Noughties from real people like you’. We just love it! Here are the top 10 technology memories of the decade –

1.    HD and the Ipod have shaped the Noughties for me, as well as the best thing since TV – The net & Google. Laurent, Paris

2.    The Noughties lost Myspace but gave birth to Face-hook but my fav website has to be Wiki, the source of all knowledge! Craig, Liverpool

3.    The 2000s had great strides in technology but was marred by 8 years of US/UK neoconservatism and chaos. Jonathan, Ottawa, Canada

4.   The decade of the mobile phone with everything – the camera, the music, the videos, the APP’s, the net….The Iphone! Benjamin, Texas

5.    Before the Noughties there was no WIKI, no FACEBOOK, no IPOD & no TWITTER. How did we live before????? Rebecca, Sheffield

6.    Google ARE the Noughties. They have changed the face of the Internet forever & continue to buy out everyone! May Google live on! Steve

7.    Remember when PC’s were king? Well they are still popular but as rubbish as ever! MAC all the way baby. Im a MAC & PC’s are wack! Jen

8.   The Noughties remind me of social networking sites like Myspace, Facebook, Twitter & Youtube, websites that changed networking. JK

Google was taken to court as it infringed copyright and was ordered to pay £9,000 per day until it removes extracts of a French book from its online database. A judge also ordered the Internet giant to pay £266,000 in damages and interest to publishing company La Martiniere, which brought the case on behalf of the industry.
Serge Eyrolles, president of Syndicat National de l’Edition confirms, “It shows Google that they are not the kings of the world and they can’t do whatever they want,”. He also said Google had scanned 100,000 French books into its database – 80% of which were under copyright.
Just as we all thought Google was unbreakable, this law suite proves they are not and many more cases will probably appear in the future.

the first of its kind… I hope you don’t shop by keywords lol

Google may start charging to watch full-length programmes on Youtube, going into an internet war with iTunes. In order to reach there ‘huge profit potential’, Google may stream the programmes we love the day after transmission. I’m not happy with this because I have been a Youtube subscriber for a long time and feel it will get taken over with these full-length programmes.  Isn’t Youtube a place for amateur and professional filmmakers, comedians and teenagers with problems to live together in harmony? I think it is a great idea to incorporate new features but at a price, I’m not sure.

The press are calling Google a vampire for sharing news articles with us, the web public, for free and in turn they are losing out on traction to their websites. However, maybe Google should be noted as the Robin Hood of the net, taking the news stories we want to see and giving them to us with ease. I believe more people will read the stories from seeing them on Google, more so than on the news websites themselves. But I can understand the press frustration, Google is a huge entity and is clearly taking over the Internet but can anyone stop them?
