I keep thinking of how Sundar Pichai said search is changing to become an agent manager. It was a pretty good deal for us to be able to publish the world's information and get traffic as a result. But that easy ride is ending, I think.

So interesting that they're really pushing this message now, even though this has been in the Radlter Guidelines for years now

Such a good piece by Lily Ray. The signs are clear. It's very likely a big Google update is coming.

I recently started thinking differently about my purpose for blogging. I do it mostly for me... I write about things I want to strengthen my knowledge on and refer back to. It changes things if your team is curating knowledge to help other team members vs trying to perform or rank.

I cannot wait to use them to help with gardening, cooking and shopping. But then again, I'm not the normal average user. We will see but I think they will take off!

I think it will open up new ways to use tech. I personally want to use them for help with cooking, gardening and shopping. Like when I'm in a store, I don't want to pull out my phone. I want to just look at the shelves and have my AI tell me which product is best for me.

AI glasses were launched before the tech was ready. Mark my words, they will be insanely useful with Google's multimodal capabilities. and I do believe eventually all glasses will be AI enabled.

I love okf and have built several very useful things with it. I think there are other things to pay attention to for search though right now, such as the Agentic Resource Discovery, WebMCP, and soon intelligent eyewear will bring loads of opportunities.

Sounds like an opportunity to vibe code a replacement!

My for you page on Google news had only 4 stories on it today which was a little odd.
