I wonder how many of you might be knowing this fact that Google doesn’t Index the "@" Symbol. Given the rise of Twitter So why doesn’t Google index this symbol to make it easier for us to find all references?
Now According to Matt Cutts, the reason for not indexing the @ symbol was intentional. Why because, if Google did index the "@" sign then the email addresses would come through and it would just make all the spammers to gather even more email addresses for their Spam campaigns. However, Matt also indicated that this may change in the future. You can find Matt explaining the same in this video.

Ever since rumors are coming on Microsoft new Search Engine name as Bing (which is yet to go live for users) there were lot of discussions going on the internet arena regarding its name and its search technology.
Recently during a Q & A session at Google I/O keynote today, Google co-founder Sergey Brin shares some of his thoughts on the name Bing, which is supposed to be the name of the Microsoft new search engine. He says that at this point of time he is not having much information about it to give his views or opinion, but Google is pretty happy with the name it chose, which drew laughs.
