YouTube publicly shames internet providers - Google's video site is following in Netflix's footsteps and showing alerts on slow-loading videos, shaming service providers for poor play quality, Quartz reports - The alert reads: 'Experiencing interruptions?' and includes a link to a new website from Google that shows playback quality for ISPs - much like Netflix's monthly Speed Index. The website is: https://www.google.com/get/videoqualityreport The alerts are one of the first public moves from Google as the FCC takes on new net neutrality rules. Google's relative silence on the issue contrasts the prominent role it played pushing for an open Internet in 2010 - a surprising change, given the company's increasing work on fiber deployment.
Google Fights Back Against Facebook By Shutting Down Orkut - Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) | Seeking Alpha: ".... Successfully converting Orkut users to Google Plus and winning the Brazil and India market shares are significant milestones in Google Plus' evolution. Orkut still has substantial market share in Brazil and India, which could be used by Google to increase its market share worldwide. If Google is successful in turning Orkut users to Google Plus, it will come very close to Facebook's market share and will be able to drive companies and advertisers in these markets to increase their use of Google Plus and increase revenues."
