Hanging out with Google Around Town
Google likes bring around everyone and meeting people face to face. You certainly will not see Larry Page or Sergey Brin hanging out at these conferences, but you will certainly see Google employees. I was talking with one Googler here at SXSW who is a UX (user experience) designer out of Google New York, and [...]
Full StoryBlogger Joins Twitter
Recently, Google’s blogging platform, Blogger, joined the Twitter micro-blogging-craze. There’s been rave after rave about Twitter; Twitter-this, Twitter-that. Blogger finally joined Twitter. “We will be posting status updates, major feature announcements, and pointers to cool uses of Blogger will all show up in our Twitter account.” There are already other well-known Googlers on Twitter though, [...]
Full StoryWhen Spammers are too Smart [for themselves]
Matt Cutts wrote a comment on his post about “fun e-mails” and thought he actually made a point which even funnier than his original post. As many have said, a picture is worth a thousand words, but in this instance, a screen shot is worth a million. If you’ve ever run a forum, blog, or [...]
Full StoryGoogle Doesn’t Hate ALL Paid Links, Just Yours

Full StoryGoogle Listens #2: Google Gmail Contacts
Case number two of when Google listens to the public. Which, I have to say, is pretty pathetic that this is only second case I’ve written about where Google has listened to the public and made a change. Look at Flock, for example, they listen, listen, listen, then change, change, change. Enough about that though. [...]

Sometimes it’s extremely hard for a big company to hear listen to the everyday users, more commonly known as the little people or better yet, you and me.

Full StoryJoin the Google Webmaster Team this Friday!
Adam Lasnik has extended an invitation for anyone with “…a phone (we’ll pay for the call), a sufficiently-modern web browser, and an internet connection…” to join the Webmaster Central group for a phone conference. This will be a great opportunity for people that may have felt unheard, to finally get their voice heard. I know [...]

SES NY 2008 has been a lot of fun. It’s been exciting to see old faces that only make it out to the conferences and it was good to get back into the party groove with everyone. Tracing back to Monday night with the Live.com Webmaster Dinner, where Ani hosted the event, I was able [...]
