Google Photos to Enhance Search Feature for Easy Photo Curation

]Google Photos is one of the most widely used applications for storing and organizing photos. The app has a powerful search mechanism that allows users to curate pictures based on specific descriptors like "sunset," "city," or "flowers." Now, Google is reportedly "experimenting" with this search feature to make it more powerful and user-friendly. In recent times, some Google Photos users have encountered a blue prompt that said "Try a more powerful search" when opening the app. Google then explained to users how to use this feature by giving examples like searching for "colorful sunset," "peaceful garden," and "Cinderella." The search engine can now come up with the curation for generic queries without users having previously tagged the photos.

Adding Qualifiers to Aid Your Search

Users can also add a qualifier to a place or surrounding to aid their search, which can be compared with Google Assistant's capability of responding to natural language queries. If users have tagged faces with names, they can search for those with more descriptors to help find particular images faster. For example, if a user has tagged a recurring face as Charlie, they can now search with a sentence like "Charlie at the Golden Gate Bridge."

New Search Features Available on Web

According to reports, this feature is being rolled out on the web version and isn't yet available on Android devices. When searching for "colorful sunset," for instance, it yielded no results on an Android device, but promptly came up with results sorted according to relevance on the web version. Google's spokesperson explained that the company is "always experimenting with new ways to help people find and relive their photos and videos." Google Photos' new search feature aims to make it easier and quicker for users to find specific photos in their gallery. The app's ability to curate pictures based on descriptors and qualifiers helps users find images more efficiently. While the feature is currently available only on the web version, it's likely to be available on Android devices soon. Read the full article

Frankenstein...Then and Now

This month is Boris Karloff month on Shudder, and with it came the OG Frankenstein! I have seen Frankenstein as a side character in modern movies but never his own story. I searched Roku to see if I could find any modern remakes of the film and found the silent film version! So of course, start with the oldest....

Frankenstein (1910)

I LOVE SILENT FILMS. The only problem with silent films is that you have to pay attention to them but really, when did movies become “background noise”? And really, you have to give them so much credit. They have pace and great use of music and acting has to go so much further in a silent film. Pace in this particular movie is great. Jumps right in to a doctor making Frankenstein. It is a short little one but such a gem. Found on Classic Movie Vault on Roku. 

Frankenstein (1931)

First off, just look how much we had improved technology between 1910 and 1931. Really only 21 years and yet...man you would of thought there was more time between each of these films. Think about it, did I do anything that life changing by the time I was 21? No. But in 21 years, society feels worlds apart. This is Boris Karloff’s big break in Hollywood, even though he worked his entire life and I personally think all of his work is amazing. I love how it feels so much more like its source material and is really a timeless film. Found on Shudder. 

Frankenstein (2004)

I was interested to see how this translated into modern day. This is, in my opinion, trying too hard to be scary. The Frankenstein story is scary but its built into the story not needed to be amped up? It is not bad, its the same essence in modern day. I don’t like it as much as the other films myself. But its great if you like modern stuff. 

The book itself is so ground breaking...from everything that has spread since its being written, to the shock of a young 18 year old woman writing it. Looking to see the many flavors of Frankenstein? Find more information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenstein_(film.  Best thing to do after this? Not only watch the films, but watch the horror movie about Marie Shelley herself writing the novel that started it all! For youngsters, watch Frankenweenie...its adorable!

How to use Schema to create a Google Action

A new update makes Google Actions accessible to a broader range of marketers to build an Action from scratch.

John E Lincoln on November 26, 2019 at 10:23 am MORE Google recently announced that publishers can now create Google Actions from web content using schema markup. For brands, Google Actions can be a great way to get more mileage out of your SEO strategy and offer another opportunity to reach searchers organically. Optimizing for newer SEO features like Google Actions and rich results are becoming increasingly critical when it comes to pleasing the algorithm. While the option isn’t available for every content type, this new capability is a big deal for less technical users looking to, ahem, get in on the Actions.

What Are Google Actions?

Actions are apps designed for the Google Assistant. They range from apps like the Dominos delivery action to health and fitness apps to personality tests and ride-hailing services. Actions work when the user prompts the Assistant with a phrase like, “OK, Google, talk to .”

Source According to Google, here’s a representation of what happens “behind the scenes” during an interaction:

Source It’s important to understand that all Actions take place inside the cloud, though users can access them on any device with the Google Assistant enabled. Each action is also tied to a specific intent and is programmed with a corresponding fulfillment process to complete a given request. Speaking of intent, let’s move on to the next section, where I’ll go over the link between schema markup and Google Actions.

Google Actions + Schema

Schema markup is a type of microdata that gives Google more context about the intent of any given piece of content. When you add schema markup to a webpage, it creates an enhanced description – aka a rich result – which appears on the front page of Google. These rich results include everything from “book now buttons” for local businesses to recipe instructions, contact information and events. Search engines need to match content to search queries, and part of assessing the quality of a search result depends on intent. Schema is a way for websites to let search engines know more about the intent behind the content. It’s also a requirement for websites that want to be eligible for Google’s rich results – which increasingly account for the lion’s share of the first page in the search results. Of course, adding the markup alone won’t guarantee position zero. You’ll need to make sure you follow Google’s recommendations perfectly, that you choose the right schema for the page you’re targeting, and that your content is useful, credible and engaging. It’s a tall order, but Google’s latest announcement brings schema to Google Actions, offering an additional channel for earning some of your SEO share back. For content creators is, this means that they now have the ability to create Google Actions, regardless of whether or not they know their way around Dialogflow or the Google Actions Console. Instead, Google automatically generates an Action when users add specific markup to eligible content types.

Google Actions schema: Content types

Source The main benefit of using schema for content actions is that it provides an opportunity to increase brand awareness in a format with limited advertising opportunities. Using schema markup, Google can create a variety of Actions based on six types of content that you might publish on the web. Here’s a look at the supported content.

Podcasts

Last May, Google announced they would be adding podcasts to the search results screen through a new structured markup option. For podcasters long reliant on clunky search features on platforms like Apple Podcasts or Stitcher, the option to improve discoverability in the Google Search results is huge. The markup allows podcasters to improve their showing in the Google Search results and on Google Podcasts, with individual episode descriptions and an embedded player for each right there on the first page. Another new feature, Deeper Podcast search, lets users search for the actual audio directly inside the podcast using Google transcriptions. Connecting podcasts to a Google Action takes things to the next level, making it easy for users to find your podcast in the Assistant directory and play episodes directly from their phone, smart speaker, or Google Home display. Here’s how to turn podcasts into a Google Action: Sign in to the Google Play Portal Click “add podcast” from the menu located in the top right corner Add your RSS feed and apply required tags Follow Google’s podcast markup guidelines to ensure you create an automatic action.

FAQs

Per Google guidelines, you can apply FAQ schema to any site that features a list of questions and answers on just about any subject. Meaning, the option isn’t limited to the official FAQ pages included on a company’s website; instead, you can create FAQ pages for any resource or topic relevant to your business. What’s nice about FAQ schema – whether it’s linked to an Action or not – is those brands that earn position zero can take up a ton of real estate on the SERPs. As with all other types of schema, FAQ content needs to match what’s on your website 100%. Otherwise, Google may hit you with a manual action. It’s also important to note that FAQ content is purely informational in intent – and as such, you can’t use markup as a free advertising channel. By turning your FAQ pages into Google Actions, the Google Assistant can read your answers out loud when searchers enter a related voice query. Here’s what you’ll need to know.

Valid vs. invalid use-cases

FAQ pages must be written from the perspective of the website, with no option for users to submit alternative answers. This can take the form of either a product support page where, again, users don’t have the option to offer additional answers. This means that forum pages or pages where users can submit questions and provide answers don’t count. In those instances, you’ll need to add the QAPage markup instead (keep in mind, this will not automatically create an action).

Markup the entire thing

When you add FAQ schema to your page, make sure that you include all text associated with both the question and the answer. Notice how this Booking.com example includes the question as a complete sentence and a conversational answer–they don’t just say, “it’s $167.”

Source Additionally, all FAQ content must be accessible to the visitor on the source page. So, if you click through to Booking.com based on that answer, you’ll see that exact same text on the official website. Here’s an example of FAQ markup in JSON-LD format:

Source

Recipes

Recipe markup allows users to promote their content through rich cards presented in the Google Assistant and learn about your content in the Assistant directory. Use it to highlight nutritional information, prep time, and ingredient lists, along with images that get searchers interested in your food. What’s more, you can use the recipe schema together with the guidance markup, which gives consumers a way to follow along with audio instructions for your recipes. As it stands, you’ll need to fill out a Google Form to get started with the feature. It’s pretty short, requiring only your name, email, domain, and company name. It’s also worth pointing out that you’ll need to make sure your page features both the recipe and guidance markup to be eligible for rich search results and as a Google Action. Additionally, you’ll need to make sure that you set up your structured data correctly. A few things to consider: Use recipe structured data if your content focuses on showing users how to prepare a specific dish. Google also mentions that things like “facial scrub” don’t qualify as recipes, as they’re not something you would present as an edible dish. In those cases, your content is probably a better fit with the HowTo schema. If you want your recipes to show up in a host-specific list (a summarized recipe collection) you’ll need to include the following: Use the ItemList structured data to summarize the recipes you’d like to feature. You can opt to provide ItemList schema together with recipe structured data or on its own. Your site must also have a summary page that lists out all recipes in a collection, like a round-up of summer cocktail recipes or a collection of Thanksgiving recipes. The idea is, when a user clicks a summary link from the SERPs, they’ll then be directed to a website that shows each of these recipes in their entirety. Here’s an example of recipe schema in JSON-LD format:

Source

How-to guides

How-to schema can be used to markup articles that contain instructional information that show users how to do something new. As is the case with the other content types I’ve mentioned, there are some guidelines you should know about before applying the HowTo markup to your site. According to Google Developers, HowTo markup applies to content where the main focus of that page is the how-to. In other words, it doesn’t count if you write a long-form article that includes a short how-to section along with several different elements. The content must also be read sequentially as a series of steps. How-to content must also abide by these guidelines: You cannot markup offensive, explicit, or violent content. Each step must be marked up in its entirety. You cannot use HowTo markup for advertising purposes HowTo does not apply to recipes—as they have their own schema. If applicable, include images, along with a list of materials and tools needed to complete the task. Here’s an example of HowTo markup in JSON-LD format:

Source Right now, HowTo Actions are only available for Google Assistant, not for Smart Displays. However, Google is working to sign up more publishers interested in creating how-to content for smart displays. Sign up here to let Google Developers know you’re interested in this option – and perhaps we’ll see this feature roll out sometime in 2020.

News

Adding markup to your news content helps you increase visibility in the SERPs and gives users the option to consume your content via Google Assistant. Users can apply this schema to blog content, articles, and news articles, though they’ll need to be a registered publisher on Google News to take advantage of this tool. The News markup makes stories visually stand out in the SERPs. Features like the host carousel, top stories carousel, visual stories, and large thumbnails and headlines allow users an opportunity to attract more organic traffic to their sites by giving them more real estate to share content. To add voice compatibility to the list of features, you’ll need to choose between AMP and non-AMP formatting, which I’ve laid out for you here. AMP with structured data Google recommends that users opt for AMP, as its fast load times mean there’s less of a chance that the Assistant will experience a delay when “reading” an article aloud. It’s also worth pointing out, AMP articles come with a few more requirements than non-AMP content. To set it up: Follow AMP guidelines Follow Additional page guidelines Add structured data elements that add context to the page. Recommended properties: Author Author Name Date Published Headline Image Publisher Publisher Logo Publisher Logo URL Publisher Logo Height Publisher Logo Width Publisher Name Date Modified Description Main Entity of Page Non-AMP with structured data While Google encourages users to embrace AMP, you can add structured data to Non-AMP articles, as well. And like their AMP counterparts, those news stories that include markup have a higher likelihood of appearing in the search results with rich results features. To set it up: Add structured markup to the page Make sure you follow the guidelines to ensure Google can crawl your page. Test the page using the Structured Data Testing Tool Recommended properties: Headline Image Date Published Data Modified Keep in mind, you will need to mark up your content as structured articles for it to show in the news result. Here’s an example of article markup in JSON-LD form:

Source

Before you apply markup

To turn News content into a Google Action, you’ll need to meet the following requirements. Sign up with Google Publisher Have a dedicated news site: Use static, unique URLs Content must be original Ads, affiliate links, and sponsored content should be kept to a minimum Consider using a news-specific XML site map for easy crawling Here’s an example of News markup in JSON-LD:

Markup vs. templates

In addition to markups, Google introduced another simplified way to create Actions for the Google Assistant: templates. While this option isn’t automated like the Google Action schema approach, there’s no code involved in the template process, either. Users can quickly create an action by filling out a Google Sheet, although this option only extends to four content types: personality quizzes, flashcards, trivia and how-to videos. How-to videos must be uploaded to YouTube to be eligible. According to the developers’ page, getting started is relatively simple. All you need to do is complete the following steps: First, select the type of Action you’d like to create (in this case, let’s assume it’s a how-to video). Indicate what kind of personality you’d like to have Add steps via Google sheets. These are written instructions that correspond with the steps followed in the video. It should look like this:

Source

Claim your new action

If you’ve already published your content with relevant structured data, Google may automatically create a page in the Assistant directory. If this happens, the site owner will receive an email prompting them to claim the page. You can also do this by visiting the directory itself and clicking the link to claim the page.

Remove your action

Because Google auto-generates content Actions, you may end up with some unwanted Actions in the directory. To remove them, all you need to do is follow these three quick steps: Log in to the Actions console and select the unwanted project from the displayed tiles. Head over to the Versions section, found on the Overview page. Find the published version of your project and click on the Overflow menu. Select “Unpublish” and that’s it.

Wrapping up

Smart devices and voice search are becoming increasingly valuable pieces of the SEO landscape, and Google Actions offer a new point of entry for brands looking to increase visibility in the organic search results. This latest update makes Google Actions accessible to a broader range of marketers who may not have the time or the know-how to build an Action from scratch. Read the full article

Mozilla-backedCliqz, a Germanstartup building an anti-tracking browser with a built-in private searchfeature powered by aggregated usage of its products, is acquiringthe consumer assets of ad-tracker privacy tool and browser extension Ghostery. Terms of the all-cash deal have not been disclosed.

By combining algorithmic and blocklist anti-tracking approaches, Cliqz and Ghostery will together further raise the benchmark in privacy protection, Cliqzwrites in a press release announcing the move.

Cliqz isacquiring Ghosterys anti-tracking browser extensions and mobile apps, meaning it will be gaining the latters10 million active users hoping that will help spur international growth.

Its not acquiring the company outright. Parent company Ghostery Inc, which is reverting to its prior name Evidon, will continue in what isdescribed as an enterprise-focused digital governance businesses focused onprivacy compliance, including for ad industry groups wanting to adhere tothe self-regulatory AdChoices program, butalso for trackingcompliancewith compulsory privacy rules.

New York-based Evidon claimsits seeing increased demand for its b2b digital governance services, pointing to incomingprivacy regulations such as the European Unions General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will bring in steeper fines for data breaches when it comes into force in 2018 as spurring corporates to take a closer look at their processes.

The EUs GDPR in particular has catalyzed the need for digital governance and clients are approaching us with an increasing set of demands, said Scott Meyer, CEO & co-founder in a statement.

Evidonwill continue to be fed aggregated anonymous tracking data from opt-in users of the Cliqz-operated Ghostery products (which will also continue as standalones, as before, via thesuite of browser extensions and GhosteryAndroid and iOS mobile apps). This deal will ensure that clients retain access to Ghostery data about trackers, and enable Evidon to focus exclusively on the significantly growing B2B market, addedMeyer.

The combined algorithmic andblocklist anti-tracking approaches will be merged by Cliqz into a new tech that will be implemented acrossboth Ghostery-branded and Cliqz-branded products. Cliqz reckons the combinedtechwill improve website loading time by blocking common trackers and protect users from increasingly aggressive data gathering methods.

At this point Cliqz has about 1M monthly active users via its Firefox extension and standalone desktop and mobile browsers.

And while its been mostly focused on German-speaking markets to date, its activelysteppingup efforts to grow beyond that recently launching a beta version of its browser in France, and with designs on a US launch in the near future (it says its also added beta support for US-English for itsquick-searchfeature).

Cliqz says its hoping ownership of Ghosterys assets will help it accelerate its products into other markets. We plan to launch in the US and some Western European markets soon,says a spokesman. The Ghostery acquisition will be a big help. Ghostery users around the world can opt-in to contribute anonymous statistical data via our Human Web technology.

We will use this data to build web indexes for other countries/languages, so that our core product Cliqz quick-search will be able to support other markets quickly.

Of US-English quick-search results, he adds: The quality of the US search results will be satisfying at the start and with the help of Human Web quickly will improve quickly to reach the same level as in German.

He also confirmed Ghosterys former parent will not have direct access to Ghostery generated user data, going forward. Ghostery users will be able to contribute data voluntarily and strictly anonymously to Cliqz, he said, noting that the data collection process in Ghostery products will be changed toCliqzs Human Web technology(i.e. its aggregated, anonymized data collection process).

Human Web is built on privacy-by-design-principles. It rules out that any PII [personally identifiable information] is stored on Cliqzs or Ghosterys servers, he adds.Cliqz will provide Evidon with a subset of the data that enables Evidon to continue their B2B services.

Basically, Evidon will only get aggregated data about trackers (a map of trackers). Which trackers are on a website? How prevalent is the tracker in the web? No information about users whatsoever. Cliqz and Ghostery will never share any data about individual users with anyone. (Even if we wanted, we wouldnt be able to, as we dont store any.)

Cliqz has previously discussed its plans to monetize this pro-privacy approach and usage of its free, anti-tracking browser and search products via a companion Cliqz Offers app that will be designed to broadcast all offers to all users so Cliqzdoes not need to track individuals browsing habits to power ad targeting. Rather trackingof browsing habits occurs locally, on a users device, allowing for the techto displaypertinent offers to users without Cliqz itself needing to be party to its users browsing behavior.

The Cliqz Offers app has not launched yet, but the spokesman noted it is now working with its first pilot customers tolaunch their first campaigns sayinga soft launch is coming soon and the official launch is planned for later this year.

As well as hoping the acquisition of the Ghostery consumer business will boost Cliqzglobal user-base, Cliqzsays its negotiating with otherpotential partners, naming entities such asanti-virus companies and mobile carriers as those its seeking to work with to try toraise its profile.

The Munich-based startup has beenmajority-owned by international media and techcompany Hubert Burda Media since 2013.
