Twitter Nabs Google’s Lead Android Evangelist. Next Target: Students
After a bit of a slow start, the Android app ecosystem is now growing at a rapid clip, as it nears 100,000 apps. One of the people Google can thank for that is Sun Hu Kim, their lead for Android developer marketing. But come Monday, he won't be pitching Android anymore, he'll be pitching Twitter.

Google Gets Its License To Operate In China Renewed
Back in January 2010, Google declared that it was no longer willing to continue censoring search results on Google.cn, and that it would possibly shut down the Chinese search page, and potentially even its offices in China. In March, Google backed that talk up by redirecting Google.cn to Google.com.hk, a move that enabled it to keep providing uncensored search in simplified Chinese but from Hong-Kong.

YouTube Leanback, Hulu Plus, And Even Google TV Will Not Break Us Away From Traditional Pay TV Services
Listen, I hate forking over $100 a month for my TV, too. I also wholeheartedly agree with The Consumerist picking Comcast as the worst company in America. But they still get my money every month and just like the vast majority of people who pay for their TV, that's not going to change anytime soon. There simply isn't anything that replicates the experience and is free or low-cost. No one, not e... #CompanyProductProfiles #Gadgets #Google #YouTube #Hulu #Netlfix #YoutubeLeanback #Leanback

Opera/Chrome Rivalry Gets The Hitler Video Treatment
When Opera Software last week released the final version of its Opera browser (version 10.60), it titled its press release 'What is faster than the fastest?'.
The company touts other features, like built-in geolocation and webM support, as well but not nearly as much as it boasts about its browser's speed.
By doing so, the software maker aims to challenge claims that Google's Chrome browser is, in fact, speedier than Opera and other popular b... #TC #Chrome #Google #Googlechrome #Opera #Opera1060 #OperaSoftware

Get Your Virtual Pen Out And Sign The Google Voice Desktop Petition
As soon as everyone got to actually see the unreleased Google Desktop application in action, they wanted to have it.
The only problem is this isn't just about waiting until Google finishes it off and ships it. There's a real possibility that Google will never release a Skype-like soft phone for the desktop - they clearly want to build these types of applications in the browser. But the experts we've spoken with, including Skype ... #TC #Google #Googlevoice

Last Thursday, Google placed a major $700 million bet on a new strategy.

TechCrunch NOW: Yammer CEO, DoubleTwist Co-Founder On Apple, Google Me
What does Yammer's David Sacks have to do with Apple's reception hiccup? And what does DoubleTwist's Jon Johansen have to do with Google Me? To be honest, not a whole lot. But we had both founders in on Friday morning, for our fifth episode of TechCrunch NOW.

Google Adds Real-Time Stats To Blogger – To Google Analytics Next?
Blogger, Google's blog publishing platform, has just been given a useful new feature many a Blogger user will appreciate: near real-time statistics (via Louis Gray).
Dubbed Blogger Stats, the feature is available for all non-private Blogger blogs. The only catch is you'll only see the new 'Stats' tab when you go to draft.blogger.com.

Exclusive Video Of Unreleased Google Voice Desktop App
When Google acquired Skype competitor Gizmo5 in November 2009 it wasn't much of a stretch to anticipate a soft phone application for Google Voice to be coming soon. A few months later we heard that Google was dogfooding Google Voice Desktop internally. But then last month we learned that Google was delaying any launch of the product, and may be scrapping it entirely, because Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin don’t want Google to be i... #TC #Google #Googlevoice

Apple’s War With Google Takes To The Skies With iTunes In The Cloud
iTunes in the cloud. We all know it's coming, it's just a question of when, and with what capabilities? A story from Boy Genius Report today appears to answer at least one of those questions, and vaguely answers the other.

AdMob’s Final Mobile Metrics Report: Android Rising, But Apple Still Dominates Worldwide
Mobile ad network AdMob (now part of Google) released its final Mobile Metrics report today (embedded below), at least for a while. AdMob gathers data from millions of phones and mobile devices which serve up its ad impressions, including almost 44 million iOS devices (iPhones, iPod Touches, and iPads). The decision to stop disclosing the data may have something to do with its new owner, Google, wanting to ... #CompanyProductProfiles #Mobile #Apple #Google #IPhone #Android #Ipad #Admob #Ios

Google Taps The Buzz Keg For More Social Search Brew
Google Social Search is a good idea. You take regular Google search results and intertwine them with related elements that your contacts have shared on various social networks. But there's one big barrier to entry. In order for your contacts to automatically share elements, they have to link up their various social profiles to their Google Profile page. A lot of people are simply not going to do that. So Google is changing things up a bit and m... #TC #Google #GoogleSocialSearch #GoogleBuzz

Cloning Is Lame. Google Should Do It To Facebook Anyway.
Small companies clone big companies all the time. And by clone I don't just mean steal a basic idea. I mean clone almost literally - they just plain rip off every single feature and hope for the best. It certainly saves time on user testing.
Big companies, particularly big tech companies, don't do this as much. Pride and ethics come into play at an individual and team level. Pure copying just isn't how things are done. Instead they tweak a... #TC #Facebook #Google #GoogleMe #Googleme

China Swings, Google Flinches
Back in January, with big balls, Google wrote the following:
We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all. We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China.

Former Facebook CTO: ‘Google Me’ Is Real, And It’s Gunning For Facebook
Yesterday, Digg CEO Kevin Rose tweeted that he'd heard a "huge rumor" that Google was planning to launch a Facebook competitor called "Google Me", sparking off a wave of speculative reports (Rose has since removed the tweet). Now Adam D'Angelo, who was Facebook's CTO for years and is now founder of hot Q&A service Quora, is weighing in with more details. And from what he's hearing, Google Me is indeed very real, and it'... #TC #Google #Quora #Facebook

Android 2.2 Froyo Now Rolling Out To All Nexus Ones
Back in May, Google showcased the next version of Android, codenamed Froyo. Chuck full of new features like Flash support, the ability to turn your phone into a Wifi hotspot, and huge speed gains, Android users have been eager to try it out for themselves. Some of them already have — Google rolled out Froyo to a small number of Nexus One years in late May, but most people didn't receive the update.

Perhaps you've heard the news by now that Matthew Papakipos, the key architect of Chrome OS, is leaving Google to go to Facebook. While it's not entirely clear what Papakipos will be doing yet at Facebook beyond joining the engineering team, this is massive news. This is the key component of Chrome OS leaving the company before its launch to join what can perhaps be seen as Google's most important competitor going for... #TC #Google #ChromeOs #Facebook

Google Apps For Education Wins Two More States, Rolls Out Training Tools For Teachers
Google has made it fairly clear that adoption of Google Apps at schools and colleges is vital to the growth of the productivity suite as a whole.

Clash of the Titans: The Battle To Become The Mobile Search Leader
Editor's note: The following guest post is by Krishna Subramanian, co-founder of mobile ad exchange Mobclix.
Mobile search is still one of the big unclaimed prizes on the mobile web. Everyone from Google and Yahoo to Apple is going after it, but Microsoft's Bing may stealthily become the king of the castle by aggressively promoting Bing through mobile apps. Let's look at each player's mobile search strategy.

Decoding Microsoft’s Fantastic Passive-Agressive Numbers Post
Yesterday, Microsoft communications head Frank Shaw put up a post on The Official Microsoft Blog rattling off some numbers regarding many of Microsoft's products. The intention was obviously to lend some perspective to some of the negative coverage Microsoft has been getting recently. There's no way around it, the numbers are impressive. And I think it's smart for Shaw (and Microsoft) to do things like this.
