Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This week, we covered the Google Panda update on November 18th, I named Panda 3.1. Bing Search is also probably doing an update. Yahoo Site Explorer officially closed down. I covered a pos ton who Google search quality raters are. Google changed their advanced search page, dropping the links feature. Google Images is better at showing the original source image. Google + is coming to Google Places results. Google updated their iPad search app. Google killed several products including Knol, Friend Connect, Wave, Gears and more. SMX Israel’s agenda is live, please check it out. Google had a logo for Stainslaw Lem, it completely rocked. Google also had a Thanksgiving logo, but it was more about using Google +. Also, make sure to check out the other Thanksgiving day logos from Bing, Yahoo, Dogpile and others. Happy Thanksgiving and that was this week’s search news at the Search Engine Roundtable.
