“Universal Search” was implemented by Google quite a while ago, yet the only visible change to the search results has been occasional interspersing of some video or news. Search was not really “revolutionized” or “changed as we knew...

Someone sent me a box of chocolates, and they came as I was opening my new Flip camera. Since they were so impressive looking, I decided to test out the camera on these chocolates! The Flip camera installed easily, and since I already had MySpace open in a window, I...

Almost two years ago at SMX Advanced 2007 I had a short talk with Matt Cutts about the nofollow tag being “okay to use”, and my last statement was something like this: “So there’s really no “over optimization” penalty or anything...

I’ve had my share of issues with Comcast in the past, and this one is just as frustrating. Just like many of my issues with them so far, it’s completely inconsistent from market to market, so their support department seems to know nothing about it. Anyone...

This year’s Elite Retreat was every bit as good as last years, and again, i’m really glad I chose to attend. It was great to see some friends from last year, and I also met some really amazing new attendees. Once again, I feel like I learned almost as...
