In a nutshell, it is a new web indexing system that means that the crawling and indexing of web pages now happens in parallel (in the past these were two separate things). The impact this has is that the current index (and thus the search results you see) are now far closer to real-time. Gone are the days of waiting for your latest blog post to get indexed; this has probably already happened by the time you’ve boiled the kettle.<p><a href="http://chinwag.com/blogs/difly/google-caffeine-boosts-coffee-sales-seos" target="_blank">read more</a></p><p><a href="http://chinwag.com/blogs/difly/google-caffeine-boosts-coffee-sales-seos">// more</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IH5ksvds9pBr8m_K1tREqerm0QA/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IH5ksvds9pBr8m_K1tREqerm0QA/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Summer BBQ - 26th August - Discount Tickets Still Available</h1> <p>Sam Michel — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 14:45:37 +0000</p> <p><a href="http://chinwag.com/blogs/sam-michel/summer-bbq-chinwag-digital-mission-bootlaw"></a></p><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; text-align: left;">We didn't take much persuading by the folks who'd been on the Digital Missions that a gathering might be in order to mark the end of the Summer. </p><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; text-align: left;">We've hooked up with the <a href="/digitalmission" style="color: #3399cc; text-decoration: none;">Digital Mission</a> alumni and <a href="http://bootlaw.com" target="_blank" style="color: #3399cc; text-decoration: none;">Bootlaw</a> regulars to gather, mingle, chat and sup a cold beverage.
