Google Caffeine

Google’s new search engine ‘caffeine’ is out and about ready for testing. On the Google Webmaster blog Matt Cutts has said that they are very interested in getting feedback on how people perceive the new Google Caffeine.

Basically they want to know what the differences are between the existing Google Search and the new Caffeine model. He also states that while the Google engineers will be looking carefully at replies they won’t have the time to give any feedback as yet. Along with general feedback they are looking for higher level feedback as well. How different sites rank on the new compared to the current system etc.

By asking the public to test out the new Google version the company is hoping that any issues that may need addressing will be picked up by the users. If you want to try it out and find anything odd you can use a link at the bottom of the search page to report any oddities, dissatisfactions, or suggestions on improvement you may have.

The word in from ‘Mashable’ (the great social networking blog) is that Google Caffeine is super fast – lightening fast even. They have run a few sample tests and have found it not only faster than the current version, and Bing, but that it also seems ‘more capable of real time results’. The new version is (at the moment anyway) running without the Google Adwords on the side.

TechCrunch also refers to the new Google Caffeine as ‘running on Red Bull”. They point out that the new version really doesn’t look much different to the current one, and that the changes are going on ‘under the hood’. Depending on what you really use Google for will make a difference to how you see that ‘under the hood’ stuff working for you, or against you.

The initial feedback coming in seems clear that Google Caffeine runs faster than the current version and brings in more, and sometimes differing, results.

Google are also claiming that the release of Caffeine isn’t in response to either Twitter or Bing but that this is something they have been working on for a while. TechCrunch writer MG Siegler seems to hint though that Google may be a little concerned about the competition catching up.

Love it or hate it, Google is huge and plays a big part in most people’s internet usage. Caffeine seems set to go to keep the big Google machine ahead of the play in the Search Engine world. How much impact the changes made will eventually make on the varying interests and needs of the internet world remain to be seen. At the moment it seems to being applauded (on the whole) by those who have tried it.

If there is one thing we can all pretty much rely on it is change. Google Caffeine seems set to make that change and move us ever faster in whatever our pursuits online may be.
