In the morning, at 9:30 a.m. Pacific Time, Google will hold a press conference where it will announce major new search functionality. I will be there, as will dozens of other press. I don’t yet know if they will stream video from the event. I assume they will. If not, I’ll try to do that. But I certainly will cover the account from my Twitter account. If you’re not following me there, do so and I’ll retweet the best press coverage and any URLs of live streams from the event. I will also favorite the best tweets from major press in the audience there. You can find those on my favorite tweets page.

Here’s the official invite I received:

Search on.

UPDATE: there already is a bit of speculation as to what is coming in the morning over on Techmeme.

By the way, check out the logo on Google.com. It gives some hints as to what might be coming.

Finally, my friends who are in the know tell me to expect to see a semantic search engine appear. See Wikipedia’s entry on that to learn more about what semantic search is.
