Google Searchology Conference 2009

As a search engine enthusiast it was great to see the new Google Features displayed on this years Searcheology Conference.

I was playing around a bit with them before going to sleep, I really liked the Wonder Wheel wheel feature which lets you visualize related search phrases through wheel like graphs bringing more interactivity to the SERP’s.

I also found very useful the additional Forums and Reviews features great for Reputation Monitoring and for additional information if you are doing some research, the time line option can also be helpful for searching relevant information if dates are of your priority.

Google also pointed out that they will be using “Rich Snippets”, if you are not familiar with the concept, I found a great post regarding this, with all you need to know about Google’s Semantic Web (Thanks for sharing this CJ).

Ohh, I forgot to mention that all of these new features are not yet available in Spanish speaking countries or in German, although I hope to see them soon out there. You can also find some more detailed information about the new features here.
