"Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.Search Engine Roundtable Stories:\n\tGoogle's \"I'm Feeling Lucky\" Button Counts Down To New Year\n\t\tIf you go to Google.com and click on the \"I'm Feeling Lucky\" button, Google will show you a countdown to the new year. You cannot type anything into the search box for this to work, just click on the button with an empty search box. Here is a video of it working just minutes ago, on my screen: Forum discussion at Google Web Search Help and DigitalPoint Forums.\n\t\tBug When Updating Google Maps Local Listing\n\t\tStarting over the weekend, if you tried to update a Google Maps business listing in the Google Local Business Center, you would get a weird error. We have many reports in the Google Maps forums, many. The error sometimes looks like this: System Error We're sorry, but we are unable to serve your request at this time. Please try back in a few minutes.

Why would you want to block specific subscribers? Maybe you got 'pervs' watching your videos? Maybe you don't like certain commentators on your videos? Maybe you are anti-social? How do you do it? 1. Sign into your YouTube account 2. Go to https://www.youtube.com/profile?user=[YOURUSERNAME]&amp;view=subscribers 3.

There is almost a 100 posts in a single weekend DigitalPoint Forums thread with people reporting their Google Toolbar PageRank has dropped. A long time ago, Google had batch Toolbar PageRank penalties for sites that sold or bought links. The first batch was in November 2007, then\n\t\tGoogle Images Trying Bing's \"Infinite Scroll\"?\n\t\tI may be totally misunderstanding a post from swainzy in Cre8asite Forums, but maybe not. Swainzy is upset that she cannot change the number of results shown in Google Image Search, just like this person at the Google Web Search Help thread. But what Swainzy added later seemed to imply to me that Google is testing Bing's infinite scroll feature, which continues to show you more and more pictures as you scroll the page. She\n\t\tGoogle Alerts Gone Wild?\n\t\tI am a big time user of Google Alerts, I just don't use them via email - but rather via RSS. Some users are reporting in both a DigitalPoint Forums thread and WebmasterWorld thread that Google Alerts seemed to have just gone a bit out of hand. Tedster from WebmasterWorld said: I've also been getting some peculiar Alerts again - and in some cases they are things that should have been sent a while back.\n\t\tVideo Recap of Weekly Search Buzz :: December 11, 2009\n\t\tJust a reminder, we did not do a video recap last week, we did a text one - so if you missed it, check it out. This week was the SES Chicago conference and we covered tons of sessions. Google switched personalized search on by default and SEOs are freaking out. Google and Yahoo both added real time Twitter results to the search results. Google launched image based search with Google Goggles.
