Most of you should be aware of what an sitemap index file does. It just lists out the list of all the sitemaps for a particular website. This sitemap index file had a Google limit of 1000 links. Anyone who exceeds this index limit would get a warning in your Google Webmaster account that, “The list of Sitemaps in your Sitemap index exceeds the maximum allowed. A Sitemap index can contain no more than 50,000 Sitemaps. Split your Sitemap index into multiple Sitemap index files and ensure that each contains no more than 50,000 Sitemaps. Then, resubmit your Sitemap index files individually.”
It now appears that Google has increased this limit of 1,000 sitemap files to 50,000 sitemap files. This is a substantial increase in Google’s indexing capacity. Now, webmasters would be able to submit 2.5 billion URLs to Google to crawl. Isn’t that amazing?

Google as usual, has come up with a new product Google Wave. This time, it’s about conversation and personal file handling and sharing in real-time and in much a better way.

A wave can be both a conversation and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.” Three key technologies which Google claim it has incorporated in Google Wave include:

Have you ever disagreed to a Google search result? Wanted to annotate a result page or even delete or add your favorite websites on your searches? SearchWiki from Google exactly does that. Though SearchWiki has been on an experiment for a long time, starting from Thursday it would be available by default for anyone who’s logged into Google and does a search.
The new SearchWiki will let you customize your search results by deleting, adding, rearranging or even commenting on search results. However, you have to be logged in to enjoy these privileges. Adding annotations can help you remember them as the notes would be shown every time the site appears on a search result.
Though these changes would reflect only for that specific user account, Google gives the option to share your notes and editing that you made to your search results. You can see how the community has collectively edited their search results using the “See all notes for this SearchWiki” option.
These changes can also help genuine content websites to get more notes and higher rankings. Google would definitely use these tips to make their search engine better. From the users perspective, implementing SearchWiki will help them search better and easier.
