Google and Caffeine

Almost ironical my blog's name has Caffeine too!

Anyway, it's pretty much still hot, and everywhere - I mean - even the BBC has a story on this!

In a crux: it's Google's new search engine. Some say it leaves Bing behind, some say nothing (like myself, since I haven't used it properly yet).

Google says (via BBC - I'm a bit too lazy to check out their blog :P ) that it is the "first step in improving the speed, accuracy and comprehensiveness of search results".

Basically, the result order/layout, it's "freshness" or "recency" of articles and other under-the-hood things have been improved. Caffeine will replace the main search engine once testing is complete.

Well - either way, I think I'll still use Google heh. This isn't making me drool more, but improvements are welcome.

EDIT: BetaNews has an article on what's different in Caffeine. Take a look here.

"Caffeined"

This post marks the first day of the blog.

So what exactly is Caffeine? Nothing, really. It was a random name that I thought of when my sister was thinking of starting a blog and making some money.

Caffeine, in short, will feature posts about different things - mostly things that are either weird, interesting, or just plain amusing.

Your next question will be "why". Why? Good question! The reason I'm making this blog is so that I have an avenue of expressing the sad state of affairs around myself - you'll get to know about more things later on. There are so many (exciting...) events that take place around me that it's unfair to leave them undocumented.

But this blog won't be focused only on events - it'll feature tidbits from here and there (anyone seen Lifehacker? I don't intend to take away their traffic - those guys do a splendid job, and I read them daily... what I'm saying is that I'll follow a similar pattern) so the viewers don't get bored (nor do the AdSense guys!)

It's 11.12PM here in Pakistan (we're following DST) and I gotta lock up the house. Till tomorrow, ciao.

EDIT: tomorrow = day time, but today.
