Keeping up! Every time that I check the Google Maps website, three or four new features are waiting for me. I&#8217;m particularly looking forward to integrating with Street View, which will be a very powerful tool for customers to evaluate the area around the hotel. With Google, the sky is the limit on what will be next! They have proven that they can innovate faster than any of their competitors, and I&#8217;m happy to have them in my corner. </span></span></p></span></span><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(80, 0, 80);font-family:arial;" ><p><span style=";font-family:Arial;color:navy;" ><span style=";font-family:Arial;color:navy;" >&#8211; Steve Sullivan, Manager, Web Development, <span class="misspell" suggestions="Intercontinental,Inter Continental,Inter-Continental,Incontinently">InterContinental</span> Hotels Group</span></span></p></span></span></div><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(80, 0, 80);font-family:arial;" ><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">Posted by Colleen <span class="misspell" suggestions="Ho ran,Ho-ran,Goran,Horn,Hora">Horan</span>, Google Maps API Premier Team</span></p></span></span> <span class="byline-author" style="font-size:100%;"></span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/01/google-sky-is-limit.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:&quot;With Google, the sky is the limit&quot;&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/01/google-sky-is-limit.html?hl=en&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/01/google-sky-is-limit.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'> &#57529; </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='2' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/01/google-sky-is-limit.html?hl=en' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/01/google-sky-is-limit.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/01/google-sky-is-limit.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/guest%20post?hl=en' rel='tag'> guest post </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/partners?hl=en' rel='tag'> partners </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='5628362765107420239' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/01/2008-year-in-spam.html?hl=en' itemprop='url' title='2008: The year in spam'> 2008: The year in spam </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Monday, January 26, 2009 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span style="font-style:italic;">[Ed.

That day, the average number of spam messages blocked per user was 194. This peak was driven by an unprecedented number of non-delivery receipt (NDR) attacks we saw in April. One customer who was the target of a specific NDR attack said that their users were receiving an average of 100 emails every minute.<br /><br />As spammers fill the void left by McColo, it's reasonable to anticipate a decreasing rate of growth as spam reaches November 2008 levels. However, since the November levels weren't even the peak for the year, and since spammers appear to be quickly recovering, the question remains: Where will spam volume top out in 2009? Will it be near the November 2008 level? the April 2008 level?

Our statistics show that the average unprotected user would have received 45,000 spam messages in 2008 (up from 36,000 in 2007).

During the second half of 2008, virus volume increased six-fold from the first half of the year. These spam messages would often try to fool users by mimicking legitimate emails such as package tracking notifications or invoices that included virus attachments. Another popular technique in 2008 was emailing spoofed news alerts with URLs that would link to a website hosting the virus. <br /><br />We can also expect that viruses and malware will continue to be a key tool and area of focus for spammers to upgrade their platforms. Even though virus attachment volumes have been low so far this year, we expect spammers to work hard to rebuild their networks to replace what was lost in the McColo shutdown. <br /><br />Of course, the only thing we can really say with certainty about 2009 is that spam and viruses will continue to be unpredictable. And given that uncertainty, virus detection and blocking technologies become even more important. Last year we released advanced new anti-virus heuristics that specifically targeted zero-hour vulnerability (the period of time between when a new virus enters the wild and the release of the anti-virus signature file). When the zero-hour protection identifies a suspicious message, the message is scanned using the new anti-virus heuristics, and if confirmed as a virus, the message is quarantined.<br /><br />The chart below is an example of our new heuristic virus detection and blocking at work. On October 1, 2008, our automated technology detected a viral message pattern (later identified as new strain of the Downloader-AAP!zip) in the wild and started quarantining messages with this virus. Five hours later we received the new virus signature file from one of our anti-virus partners and the signature-based blocks began to take effect. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9KeptjpRZFkqt8EHHasnUYjnYaeqimspLyluK0nf96p58SdA5kLLoA59AbSM8__QbrTV3SegtDW6MIf0XHkpivHI6BMm-pxVy_G3kVKF6yA6PTWo0PPtndqIqKgsFUF-I8ERZ-wJbgpFA/s1600-h/Picture14.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295615418666825090" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9KeptjpRZFkqt8EHHasnUYjnYaeqimspLyluK0nf96p58SdA5kLLoA59AbSM8__QbrTV3SegtDW6MIf0XHkpivHI6BMm-pxVy_G3kVKF6yA6PTWo0PPtndqIqKgsFUF-I8ERZ-wJbgpFA/s320/Picture14.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 210px;" /></a><br /><br />As seen from the roller-coast ride of spam and viruses in 2008, spam has again demonstrated its resiliency.

Isaac makes regular contributions to the company blog, "SADA Speaks," as well as creating content for SADA's web clients.</span><br /><br />I'd been working as a Business Analyst with SADA Systems for two years when we made the decision to build our new website with Google Sites. From the day I started with SADA, there was always talk about redesigning our website. We had plenty of reasons: making it easier to update content, re-architecting the website structure, adding functions, and more. Whatever the reason, developing a new website is time-consuming, and to keep up with client projects, SADA's website redesign was pushed back several times.<br /><br />But our team knew that we really needed to do this, and do it in a way that would let anyone at SADA make updates &#8211; even if they had no coding or technical training. SADA had been using Google Sites to collaborate with clients on their projects, including everything from websites to large IT deployments. As we used it, we started to get the idea that it could be used for more than a repository for project documents and notes.<br /><br />Our first major Google Sites project was the creation of a knowledge base for one of our Google Apps clients. We had already created a similar resource using a popular open-source wiki solution. Using the existing knowledge base, developed in an open-source solution as a template, we migrated information from it into Google Sites. Development of the new knowledge base took about half the time of the original project.<br /><br />It was then that Tony Safoian (president and CEO of SADA) realized that we could use Google Sites to create our website, and advocated for us to get started. I have to admit we were skeptical at first. Since website development is a core SADA competency, we didn't think anything but traditional coding would get the job done. Our web team thought, "A company who has designers and developers on staff, using Google Sites for our website?" And of course, we had some tradeoffs to figure out:<br /><ul><li>Google Docs allow you to edit CSS, but Google Sites does not </li><li> Google Sites doesn't accept certain HTML and JavaScript tags </li><li> Text formatting works differently than with coded design</li></ul> Also, because some custom functions required building Gadgets, we were a bit unsure. But then we got started. A few "aha!" moments &#8211; like discovering how cool Gadgets are &#8211; and finding some things that worked especially well helped the project gain momentum. We realized that Google sites delivered:<br /><ul><li> Very fast updates</li><li> Pre-formatted tools that made tasks like embedding YouTube videos, or creating a table of contents a breeze </li><li> Quick-formatting page text</li></ul> The end result is a content-rich website that <a href="http://www.sadasystems.com/Home/testimonials-and-case-studies/google-apps">easily incorporates YouTube videos</a>, <a href="http://www.sadasystems.com/services-and-solutions/google-apps/google-apps-for-collaboration">integrates Presently slideshows</a>, and collects data with forms created in Google Docs &#8211; all of which we developed in less time than it would take to develop a comparable website "by hand."

People don't like to have to search for search! Show pride in your search and put it front and center - or at the very least, make sure it's immediately visible when visitors arrive at your site. Check out <a href="http://www.retrospect.com/" id="l8ns" title="retrospect.com">retrospect.com</a> for a great example.</span></li><li> <span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Make sure search is always available</b>. The sun should never set on your search box. As visitors navigate across your site, your search box should be accessible at all times. This will ensure visitors can explore all that your site has to offer, and instantly seek out the pages they need. </span></li><li> <span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Customize the appearance of search to fit your site</b>. Think of your search box as the ambassador of all the pages beyond your homepage. You want to greet visitors with a search box that shares the same design principles and colors they'll encounter throughout your site - it doesn't have to look just like Google! </span></li><li> <span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Experiment</b>. For many, it makes sense to keep it simple: one box, one search button. If you have distinct categories of information, though, it may be worthwhile to try adding buttons to help visitors narrow their searches right from the get-go. You may even want to add your own "I'm feeling lucky" button. </span></li><li> <span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Be open to feedback</b>. It's important to do what's right by your users. As you design and position your search box, it can never hurt to ask for thoughts. Use this as an opportunity to ask for user feedback generally about your site. One other piece of advice: keep it fun! Offer a t-shirt, or a search trophy - you can even use a <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2008/02/stop-sharing-spreadsheets-start.html" id="mt1j" title="Google Spreadsheet Form">Google Spreadsheet Form</a> to make collecting feedback quick and easy. </span></li><li> <span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Learn what users are looking for</b>. Though we are relentless in our pursuit of a perfect search, we realize there's a lot to gain from user feedback and interaction. Often if a user doesn't immediately find what they're looking for, it has to do with the particular keywords they're using, and how these words relate to your site. To help get users where they're going, it's always good to provide a 'Didn't find what you were looking for?' link at the bottom of your search results to allow your site visitors to contact you. Additionally, <a href="//www.google.com/analytics/" id="otc0" title="Google Analytics">Google Analytics</a> can help you track what users are searching for at a macro-level, and what they are and aren't finding in the process. </span></li><li> <span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Let visitors know who's got your back</b>. It's entirely up to you, but we've heard that if you add a "Powered by Google" logo next to your search bar, visitors are more likely to use search to find what they're looking for. </span></li></ol> <div style="font-family: arial;"> <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> Hungry for more?

Check out <a href="http://www.retrospect.com/" id="l8ns" title="retrospect.com">retrospect.com</a> for a great example.</span></li><li> <span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Make sure search is always available</b>. The sun should never set on your search box. As visitors navigate across your site, your search box should be accessible at all times. This will ensure visitors can explore all that your site has to offer, and instantly seek out the pages they need. </span></li><li> <span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Customize the appearance of search to fit your site</b>. Think of your search box as the ambassador of all the pages beyond your homepage. You want to greet visitors with a search box that shares the same design principles and colors they'll encounter throughout your site - it doesn't have to look just like Google! </span></li><li> <span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Experiment</b>. For many, it makes sense to keep it simple: one box, one search button. If you have distinct categories of information, though, it may be worthwhile to try adding buttons to help visitors narrow their searches right from the get-go. You may even want to add your own "I'm feeling lucky" button. </span></li><li> <span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Be open to feedback</b>. It's important to do what's right by your users. As you design and position your search box, it can never hurt to ask for thoughts. Use this as an opportunity to ask for user feedback generally about your site. One other piece of advice: keep it fun! Offer a t-shirt, or a search trophy - you can even use a <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2008/02/stop-sharing-spreadsheets-start.html" id="mt1j" title="Google Spreadsheet Form">Google Spreadsheet Form</a> to make collecting feedback quick and easy. </span></li><li> <span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Learn what users are looking for</b>. Though we are relentless in our pursuit of a perfect search, we realize there's a lot to gain from user feedback and interaction. Often if a user doesn't immediately find what they're looking for, it has to do with the particular keywords they're using, and how these words relate to your site. To help get users where they're going, it's always good to provide a 'Didn't find what you were looking for?' link at the bottom of your search results to allow your site visitors to contact you. Additionally, <a href="//www.google.com/analytics/" id="otc0" title="Google Analytics">Google Analytics</a> can help you track what users are searching for at a macro-level, and what they are and aren't finding in the process. </span></li><li> <span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Let visitors know who's got your back</b>. It's entirely up to you, but we've heard that if you add a "Powered by Google" logo next to your search bar, visitors are more likely to use search to find what they're looking for. </span></li></ol> <div style="font-family: arial;"> <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> Hungry for more?

It's also important to us that organizations with less advanced needs, those already active on Standard Edition, and all schools and non-profits can continue to use Google Apps at no charge.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by </span>Rishi Chandra, Google Apps Product Manager </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/01/serving-businesses-better-with-google.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Serving businesses better with Google Apps&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/01/serving-businesses-better-with-google.html?hl=en&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/01/serving-businesses-better-with-google.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'> &#57529; </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='12' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/01/serving-businesses-better-with-google.html?hl=en' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/01/serving-businesses-better-with-google.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/01/serving-businesses-better-with-google.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Apps </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='5623424323304869817' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2009/01/putting-in-new-year.html?hl=en' itemprop='url' title='Putting the &quot;App&quot; in &quot;H-App-y New Year&quot;'> Putting the &quot;App&quot; in &quot;H-App-y New Year&quot; </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Thursday, January 8, 2009 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> Here at Google, we like to have some fun, at least some of the time (we hope it's the same for your business, too).
