New Ad Space in Google Maps?

I was doing a little check up on my local maps section for Houston Pest Control, and I came across an ad space that I have never seen before. Google now places ads under a businesses name. Very interesting. I wonder how effective this ad is. It does have the benefit of finding an audience [...]

New Google+ Favicon

Google+ has a new Favicon… in case you care about the details. That’s it.  Kinda cool. I like the orange. I once heard that orange is a very strong color and that it is the most under used color for logos… of course that was about 8 years ago. And since that secret is now [...]

+1 in Google Plus is not a Google Search Plus

How much plus 1 could a Google plus plus,
If Google could plus 1 Google plus?

So Google launches Google plus, and they just launched Google +1 earlier this year. So lets clarify this first.
