Today's Story Highlights

Google to Ding Sluggish Sites in Mobile Search Rankings
Google has announced that page speed will be a ranking factor for mobile
searches, starting in July. Speed already has been a factor in desktop
search rankings. Soon, as part of Google's new "Speed Update," page
loading time will be factored in when ranking mobile search results as
well. The change will affect only pages that deliver what the slowest
experience to users, according to Google.

New Google Service Makes Machine Learning More Accessible
Google on Wednesday released its Cloud AutoML Vision service in Alpha.
It is the first in a planned series of Cloud AutoML services designed to
help people with limited machine learning expertise build their own
custom models using advanced techniques such as learning2learn and
transfer learning. Learning2learn is a process for automating machine
learning

Infrastructure as an Anchor
Oracle's race to the cloud has offered multiple successes to its
investors and some disappointment as well. No transition of this
magnitude can be expected to run like clockwork, but the difference
between revenues for Oracle's Software as a Service apps for last
quarter, $1.1 billion, and those for its Infrastructure as a Service
apps, at $396 million, should at least get you thinking.

Facebook's Move to Dial Back News Ratchets Up Drama
Facebook once again has found itself at the center of a media storm,
following Mark Zuckerberg's recent announcement of plans to shift its
focus away from news and business content and toward interactions
between friends and family. The shift follows more than a year of heavy
criticism directed against Facebook, including blame for failing to
combat fake news during the 2016 presidential election.
