Google

Today I got an interesting surprise while using the Google App email client, with Google Chrome. In my email I referenced an attachment I was supposed to include with the email. When I clicked on the send button too soon, a smart pop-up made me aware I had not attach any document yet! See below here:

Smart Chrome pop-up for Gmail attachments

Thanks Chrome for reminding me, and not making a fool out of myself!

Today:

crawlrates-today

So what happened to the high number of crawls from the day before? Given the amount of flux going on in the G index, this smells fishy! BTW, this is consistent across different sites, different Google webmaster accounts, and different regions.
