New Google Search-Based Keyword Tool

Have you ever wondered about, oh say, what keywords visitors search on to find your (client's) site?

You know what would be pretty cool? A webapp that could sorta reverse engineer things and analyze the content of your page to suggest the types of keyword users would probably be using to find that page. You know, kinda do the thinking (guessing) for you.

Yeah, right. Like that's gonna happen.

Well, Google just dropped another bomb on us. A Search-Based Keyword Tool.

Ok. That's pretty damn cool. But here's why my head wants to explode: Take this Keyword Tool, marry it with the SEO Guide they put out last week, then take some time to think about the fact that they also just launched a Voice Search app for the iPhone (which I would soooo have if AT&T wasn't a huge dinosaur of a brand that will soon die a sorry death, sadly smothered by its own weight in way that will have Mr. Tom Edison tumbling around under his own tombstone--but that's a future post), AND those things were only after launching their own mobile device in the shape of the T-Mobile G1 with Google Android cyber>voice interface machine, and you have a company that is exploding in innovative releases right now. To me, this speaks volumes about their manner of thought, but more than anything, how generally smooth their internal process must be. You can't put out that volume of creative thought and manage that much intensive engineering work without things being in a good place. They must have a good flow going on, because otherwise there would be greater stasis.

Anyway, before I start talking about 5-element medical theory, let me just say that right now, it looks like our future is going to be a better place because of Google's ongoing influence. I'm really hoping that as I age, I will always be able to say something along those lines and really believe it.

Who knows. But right now they're pretty much blowing my mind. And the thing is, there's probably a bunch of things I'm totally forgetting to mention.

Oh. Yeah. Right. Like last week's addition of voice and video chat to Gmail.
