Attending the Search Engine Strategies show in San Jose this week along with the annual Google Dance event, it’s easy to see the ascendancy of Search across so many categories.
The Google Dance, Google’s open house and social mixer held on the Google campus in Mountain View features Google product demonstrations, an “Ask the Engineers” breakout session, and a carnival like atmosphere under the California moonlight that is festooned with multicolored lights and Google T-shirts, plus everything from karaoke contests, billards and beach volleball to stations where you can build your own root beer float.
The date of this year’s Google Dance coincided with Google looking skyward in a stellar direction. The company announced the debut of Google Sky to allow searchers to peer into the cosmos and study astronomical photos, Google Sky being a supernatural extension of Google Earth.
Meanwhile, on the shores of Lake Washington, Google is breaking ground on a new Googleplex which will surely be the site of a future northwest edition of The Google Dance. The LakeView Plaza campus is a three-building, 195,000-square-foot development currently under construction in Kirkland. You’ll soon be able to spot it on Google Maps, and Google Earth of course, even from millions of miles away in space!
