Google's new "Ask On" feature and the decay of channels Andrew Girdwood 23 January 2012, 11:03AM Just before this weekend Google pushed out yet another feature to support Google+. The “Ask on Google+” prompt appears for users who are signed into Google.com, .co.uk and other properties in an "11th position" on page one of the search results.

Google+ passes 90m users, but are people using it? @gordonmacmillan 20 January 2012, 9:44AM That’s the question that Business Insider is asking. Google tells us that Google+ is growing very fast and that sign-ups are rocketing. We heard that in December Google+ hit 66.7m users worldwide with 2.6m in the UK.

What does Google's page layout algorithm mean for you? Andrew Girdwood 20 January 2012, 8:45AM Last night Google announced a new update to their search algorithm. It will be one of about 500 this year and comes into effect immediately.
