When Do You Let ‘You’ Become A Brand?
My friend and colleague told me this year she decided to be just herself online. No more hiding or pretending and if someone does not like it well then that is ok too. I told her I admired the bravery of her hell be damned attitude as I am not sure I would feel comfortable doing the same.
Yikes! ‘I’m On Google! (more…)

Why Google Chrome OS Is Not Such A Good Thing.
I have been reading all these positive blogs about the future of the cloud, the cloud is where it is at, the cloud, the cloud, the cloud. Please don’t drink the kool-aid folks. I am going to tell you why the cloud, for all its good, has the potential to be so wrong, especially in the case of Google’s Chrome OS if this becomes mainstream.

Now, I am not saying you can rank well and permanently if no one links to you. What I am saying is, with good on-site optimization, you can make it to the top ten without a single link and a PR of 0 and then you can follow that up with good white hat SEO and SEM and get there without all the fuss of chasing the link and the algo.
Now I know the first people to slam me will be those who say, “have you tried to rank for the PPC…

What Does Google Know?
I just returned from PubCon – ok so I live in Vegas and returning just means driving home, but when I got back to my computer and started reading posts from the conference I started to see many comments on personalization and the future of search and that got me thinking about the subject from a personal level.
While personalized search sounds all warm and gooey, I currently deactivate all forms of obviously tracked search (note the key term there is obvious). Yet despite my attempts…
