Veteran's Day 2010 Logos from Google, Bing, Ask But Not Yahoo, Again
Posted: November 11th, 2010, 2:42pm CET by rustybrick
Tags: Search Engine Industry News
Today is Veteran's Day in the United States and some of the search engines have logos up for the special day. We have logos from Google, Bing, Ask all have special logos for the day - but not Yahoo. Yahoo didn't have a logo either the previous years.
It is also Armistice Day in the UK and Google has a red poppy icon and Ask also has lots of red poppies on their UK site, as does Bing.

I should add that there is a ton of complaints about Google now having a Marine Corps Birthday logo yesterday on their 235th birthday. You can see some of the many threads on that over at the Google Web Search Help forums and Google Webmaster Help forums.
For the past year's Veteran's Day logos, see our 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2004 logos. We missed a couple years, as you can see.

Google Maps Shows Asian Characters On University of California San Diego
Posted: November 11th, 2010, 2:31pm CET by rustybrick

A Google Maps user asked in a Google Maps Help thread, why does the University of California San Diego Google Maps listing show in Chinese characters?
Here is a link to the map result and here is a picture:
So Googler Dave responded saying:
Why yes, that's strange. I'll investigate internally. Thanks for reporting it. By the way in the future you can also report problems by clicking the "Report a problem" link in the lower-right corner of the map.
Truth be told, someone gave the university that title. If you look at its place page, you will see the title is 聖地牙哥加州大學 . So that is what Google is using. Here is a picture:
Either the university has to claim the business and rename it or someone needs to click on the "Edit this place" link on the place page.
