The day has finally arrived; Google is set to make several major announcements related to making Google’s search engine faster and more dynamic.
Google has been hinting about today’s big announcements for days now, primarily through some interesting logo changes. We expect Google to announce the ability to search as you type, as well as AJAX updates that should make Google load faster than ever. You never know what will come up at these events though, which is why we’re here at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to bring you today’s big news live.
Here are my live notes:
