And now some of the many costumes I saw along the way running @LondonMarathon — starting with the cupcake that passed me and left me behind. #LondonMarathon Image
The fire brigade kept us safe along the sidelines of @LondonMarathon and at one point, within the race course itself :) #LondonMarathon Image
There were rhinos and @LondonMarathon — lots of rhinos. #LondonMarathon
Peacocks! #LondonMarathon Image
Kudos for whoever ran as Nina the Nurse for @WellChild — well done! #LondonMarathon Image
Not a costume but still cool some of the live music we had along the way. Bagpipes… (sorry only caught a bit) #LondonMarathon
And drums. #LondonMarathon

@glenngabe @RichTatum I mentioned this before in another tweet last week, but I'll try to give more clarity again. Most important, if you're a site encountering a change in traffic and trying to understand why, you should be reviewing ALL our guidelines and docs: developers.google.com/search/docs
@glenngabe @RichTatum It's checklist time. Do you follow crawling best practices? Do you have errors reported in Search Console? How are you doing with page experience? Are you doing things we advise against?....
@glenngabe @RichTatum Now sometimes, we'll rollout an update that can produce some fairly immediate and notable changes, and that's why we give share about them, to give a sense and guidance about particular issues: developers.google.com/search/updates…

@backlon We’ll take a look. I know searching by headline is common for writers and yes, I’d expect this to show first for that. But it doesn’t reflect how most people might seek this content (and for how they might search, I do find it). But again, we’ll look to improve. ImageImage
@backlon Here's a follow-up on what's happening & what we're looking at. You do mention this, but it's not clear from the screenshot that your article is the first thing on the page (as shown). Because it's showing in Top Stories, it is getting deduplicated from the rest of the page... Image
@backlon Deduplication can often be useful. Doing this search in the way that user might by using solution-seeking terms rather than unusual terms in the headline, there you are at the top in Top Stories plus deduplicating means there's more variety from other publications.... Image

I've worked from home for over 20 years. Some of my own tips, for what they are worth. Most important: define your work area. If you're fortunate enough to use a room as an office, that's now the work spot. If you have to work in a shared room, designate the desk or whatever....
Work stays in the work spot. And work happens on your work hours. Help your family (especially if you have young kids) understand that's the work area & that you're "at work." Conversely, don't bring your work out of the area. At closing time, shut the laptop lid or whatever....
Bringing work into the home requires discipline not to just always keep working. Especially on weekends. If you don't normally work weekends, don't start now, just because work is so "close." Keep work time and home time separate....

Had to cancel my flight next week to Austin because SXSW got canceled. If I'd booked the flight this month, my airline would have waived the cancelation fee. But because it was made earlier, they won't. Seems a weird policy.
Update. Got the cancelation fee waived. I don't want (& purposely didn't) name the airline, as several have the same policies. I'd hope they'll all think through it more. But if you do cancel, explaining if something was directly related to coronavirus might help....
In my case, I pointed out the policy specifically mentions waiving fees because coronavirus concerns & since that's why I couldn't go to a particular event that was canceled, it seemed to make sense to waive the fee regardless of when the flight was booked....

It's our 20th birthday week at @Google and we're having a special event today in SF to share a look at the future of search. I'll be tweeting a few things....
This is a look back at a big change in search but which continues to be important: understanding synonyms. How people search is often different from information that people write solutions about.
Last few months, Google has been using neural matching, --AI method to better connect words to concepts. Super synonyms, in a way, and impacting 30% of queries. Don't know what "soap opera effect" is to search for it? We can better figure it out.
