As of Feb. 25, Facebook Fan Page status updates should begin appearing in Google search results, according to Read Write Web. This means we’ll start to see updates from roughly 3 million fan pages, but not the updates from the 400 million profiles. What are your thoughts on this? Do you welcome Facebook updates in Google? Do you wish the profile updates would be included? Or is all of this unnecessary?

I may be late to the party for this one, but I recently discovered Google Docs Templates. If you’re a fan (or not yet a fan) of Google Docs, these templates may inspire you to use them more often. Did you know they existed? Which ones do you/will you use?

If you’re a fan of RSS technology – and RSS readers – you’ll be happy to know that Google now allows you to subscribe to any page on the Web. All you need to do is type (yes, any) Web site’s URL into the “Add a subscription” field, and Google will subscribe to that page for you. What will happen? You’ll receive short messages anytime the page is updated. According to Mashable, Google’s working on improving these messages.

The Associated Press has returned to Google News. Unfortunately, there aren’t any details on why Google News is now including AP articles, which had been absent for nearly a month. Read more. Do you care if Google indexes AP stories? Why or why not?

Google Buzz is making news, but not the good kind, according to ReadWriteWeb. One woman has filed a class-action lawsuit against Google (for sharing personal data without consent), and many others are complaining that Gmail users didn’t have the option to opt-into Buzz; they were simply added as active participants. What do you think about Buzz? Are you a fan or do you think it’s a flop?

Hi all –
Who’s had a chance to work with Google Wave? How are you using it? What are your thoughts?
Today I found this post on TechCrunch: The idiot’s guide to Google Wave – and while I think it’s helpful, so far I’ve had more success by just working in Wave. However, I wonder if a large percentage of Wave users will ever use it for anything other than e-mail – simply because they don’t have the time – or don’t care – to find out what else it can do for them.
