Yahoo's Site Explorer gets a new look

daver — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 07:09:06 +0000

Im not sure why I happen to jump over to look at Site Explorer at 2AM on a Sunday, but I did. I found quite a bit more than I had expected. It seems that sometime in the past few days Yahoo went and updated the look of the results for Site Explorer. As you can see from the image below and from the actual results, I learned that Yahoo...

TweetDeck Review

Another day, another Twitter Application. TweetDeck is built much like Twirl in that it is build on the Adobe Air platform, but little else appears to be the same. TweetDeck has all of the same options you can get in the web version of Twitter, or in applications such as Twirl, Twitterfox, or a Twitterlicious. You can Re-tweet, Direct Message, and Reply to anyone of your friends. It is missing...

Corporate Blogs Need Love Too

There seems to be a bit of "do as I say and not as I do" going around. There are some agencies of different types that are talking about the value of blogs and SEO, but don't quite practice what they preach. It has always irked me when the teacher doesn't follow his own rules (or recommendations, in this case). Now, I'm not saying that all agency type companies MUST...

Google Content rules Google SERPS

Graywolf found a screen shot on 10e20 that showed how Google owns Google SERPs. Imagine that. So for giggles I thought I would do my own search of "I am Legend" - the results were kind of shocking to say the least. Why is the Warner Bros. site for the movie #7? Without looking I can guess the site is built in Flash ( I look and why yes it...

Is Content still King? Yes it is!

In the world of SEO there is the constant argument of if Links or Content is King? After some recent purchases by Discovery and CNET I have to say that in terms of money - Content is King. A month ago Discovery bought How Stuff Works for $250 million. Well Im still not sure what part of How Stuff Works/How Stuff Works International/Convex Group actually was sold, it doesnt really...

Aragon Ballroom, Chicago IL

In today's online world I wonder how some businesses can operate with no web presence or with poor excuses for one. Take the Aragon Ballroom for example - its domain is http://www.aragon.com/ but if you look closely its really hosted somewhere else. Why? I know that a beer there will cost enough to pay for a month of hosting so why not host it correctly? Do you mean to tell...
