Th article suggest Google will be able to do this in videos too.

I'd guess this will be in the serps for videos and images not the common text.

 

I wonder if link will count as back links

 

imagine that, there would be a fair few PR10 porn sites then, lol

 

The text-picture security things are going to be useless if this happens.

 

it is very interesting.. you are right may google count as back link. it will be nice. Also i read, google will index all changes on web sites only in 5 minutes. So we won't wait for index for 1-2 days any more.

 

Google is such a beast!

 

Shows why google is on top ... always thinking ahead and pushing the boundaries. Never settles for being on top.

 

they read my powerpoint pressentation..

 

Good news for video sites!

 

meaning they can also read CAPTCHAs?

 

Probably, which screws everything

 

I think it will be a very difficult task to read the text correctly with unusual fonts. So the capthas may still work. Will they count the links in video? I don't think they will do it for now.

 

Good,I like it...

 

Was going to blog about this yesterday, but decided against it since I didn't want to bore my readers. This is amazing if they can pull it off... but I'm not sure how efficient the system can be.

 

It may mis read fonts which could end in disiater

 

this is much more complicated. i wonder how the images will appear in Search Engines.

 

Google is trying to improve its algorithm for Google Images, that's all.

 

image recocnition technolocy is getting smarter each day, this wont be a problem for google

 

Wow, I can think of how that will screw several things up. Of course, there are plenty of pros to this as well, but the cons are almost equal.
