Is Google case sensitive ?
I’ve seen this question asked by plenty of newbie webmasters. I do not claim to be an expert on the subject, but this is an answer that every webmaster worth his salt should be able to answer.
Is Google case sensitive ?
The answer, very simply, is a big NO.
You could search for a word with all capitals, all small letters, a mixture of small and capital letters and they would all return the same result.
Let us take a look at a few examples

Say hi to Mrs.Google oops Mrs. Page
The man behind the little toolbar that causes millions of webmasters to chew their nails when an update is round the corner is now off the market. Yes folks, Larry Page, the man for whom Page Rank was so named, has tied the knot with Lucy Southworth on the Necker Island, owned by Virgin Atlantic founder Richard Branson. Page co founded Google with Sergey Brin, who himself got married in May this year to Anne Wojcicki.

Google hops onto the social bookmarking bandwagon
Social bookmarking has become extremely popular in the last couple of years, and there are newer sites coming in everyday. The idea of having the users select the stories that they wanted to read was considered a novel one when the first site appeared on the scene, and there has been no looking back since then. Some of the bigger social bookmarking sites can send hundreds and thousands of visitors to your site at one go- such is the extent to which these sites have become popular.
If your story hits the Digg frontpage, for example, there is a reasonably good chance of your server crashing and your blog going off line. This has therefore resulted in many people trying to sneak their way into the first page by hook or crook- exchanging Diggs is quite a common practice on several webmaster forums. Now, I won’t comment on whether or not that practice is ethical. Some people might believe that you do not need artificial ways to get to the top, for if you genuinely have good content, you will automatically get recognition. Others believe that you need to lend your site a helping hand so that it can stand on its own two legs. The former is true in most cases, but a few diggs from family and friends will not hurt your site one bit. Read it all..

Fancy yourself as a designer ?
Do you fancy yourself as a designer? If yes, read on. Most of you would be users of G-mail , Google’s free unlimited storage e-mail service ( Being free and offering upto 2.8 Gb virtually counts as unlimited, right ? 
). Yup, the same service which forced Yahoo and Microsoft to increase the storage of their services too. G-mail, in association with Threadless, is running a competition for the design of a G-mail Tshirt. The contest runs for a month, and will end on August 16.

Yahoo ties up with Paypal
Internet giant Yahoo has tied up with Paypal. Basically users of Yahoo search will see a little blue cart next to the results. The cart indicates that the merchant accepts Paypal, and that the buyer can buy easily and safely with Paypal. Also as Yahoo’s Tim Mayer puts it in his blog, you need not go about revealing your credit card and other information to all sellers. That point, elementary though it may seem, is a very valid one.
