Search Optimization Companies Disappear From Local Search Results
Thursday, January 14th, 2010
Recently Chris Crum from WebProNews posted a blog drawing discussion around a change in Google’s search engine algorithm. If you’re a search optimization company you may have noticed your site’s vacancy from Google’s local listings for geo targeted queries pertinent to the SEO industry. On the other hand, it appears Google has a preference for the non-SEO related industry *gasps* as organic results still favor local businesses for geo-specific queries. Why?

Bing-Hoo: Who Cares?
Monday, August 3rd, 2009
Ok, ok, I know- Am I kidding?
But stick with me here for a sec. In the end, what’s really going to change? The search merger between Yahoo! and Microsoft is exciting news; It’s a huge deal- between the two companies.

Software Comparison: Microsoft Outlook vs. GMail
Friday, July 10th, 2009
Outlook vs. Gmail? In anticipation of the release of Google’s Chrome OS, I’m wondering how Google plans to pull off the switch from desktop to dashboard when it comes to software. I have been using Microsoft Word for as long as I can remember. I don’t even know half of what I want to about Excel, and I’m pretty tight with Outlook, (we see each other every day.) So how will Google reproduce the functionality of Microsoft Office and get the mainstream public to adapt?
