"The Google Decade: Search In Review, 2000 To 2009"

Search Engine Land'
s Danny Sullivan has posted the second part in his series about search developments during the past decade. The first part focused on the year 2000. He writes in the series introduction:

"The 2000s were notable as the first full decade of consumer search. The first decade ever where you could try to sum up what happened in search, as a consumer product. And what happened, in a word, was Google.

In the 1990s, Google barely existed. If search were a religion, it was polytheistic. There were a variety of search gods -- Infoseek, Excite, Lycos and more. Yahoo was more powerful than the others, but it didn't rule supreme.

In the 2000s, Google effectively swept aside those other gods. Search became monotheistic. Search become Google. It literally became Google, as people began to commonly say they'd 'googled' something rather than searched for it."

Government's Role in the Future of Journalism
Posted by David Shedden at 3:38 PM on Feb. 4, 2010

Should Government Support Journalism? It Always Has
David Westphal, Communication Leadership Blog, Feb. 8, 2010

David Westphal discusses the key findings from his recent USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism report. Along with Geoffrey Cowan, Westphal points out that federal, state and local governments have been contributing to news businesses for more than 200 years. Their report concludes that unless there is a major change in current economic trends, the government should continue its long-standing support and look for alternative new ways to help. (Related: Bill Mitchell's NewsPay column about the report.)
