How Bing Will Rank Your Tweets
I blogged a few days ago about Microsoft Bing and Google’s announcement that they were both going to start incorporating our Tweets into their search results. There has been a lot of speculation as to how these Tweets are gong to show up in their search results. I have been following all of this pretty […]
How Google’s Social Search Works
Google announced their new Social Search product this week on their blog. Google Social Search is still in the experimental phase but it looks promising. Once you factor in Facebook, Twitter, FriendFeed, and a Blog, most of us publish a lot of content. Some of this information can be useful to others, and even though […]
Remembering GeoCities (1995-2009)
I would be remiss if I didn’t make mention of the fact that Yahoo pulled the plug on GeoCities today. If you are wondering what GeoCities was, my best guess is that you weren’t around in the 90’s. Before social networks were all over the place, and before there were even web development firms and […]

In case you haven’t heard this already, Google and Microsoft (Bing) both announced that they will be displaying tweets from Twitter and status messages from Facebook in their search results.

I have configured my firewall until I am blue in the face and finally decided to explore their support options tonight (my last definitions were […]
First Impressions of Google Wave
Okay, so I finally got around to checking out Google Wave today. I have had the invitation sitting in my inbox for a while now and just haven’t had a free moment to check it out until today. My first impression of it wasn’t all that great until I was able to wrap my head […]
Some Thoughts Regarding the FTC Disclosure Rules
I have been out of pocket the past few weeks and haven’t had a chance until today to go over the FTC Rules for Disclosure as they apply to Bloggers. I know that this caused a serious uproar inside the blogger community, ShoeMoney (Jeremy Schoemaker) even called an emergency town hall meeting on TinyChat to […]
