Catalog Age article: Microsoft is “Gunning for Google”

My article, “Gunning for Google,” has just been published in this month’s issue of Catalog Age magazine. As of today, it is now live on their site. Enjoy!
What would you ask the leading SEO gurus?

We’ve got a great line-up for the upcoming Thought Leaders Summit on search engine optimization that I’m organizing for MarketingProfs.com: Mike Grehan, Barry Lloyd, Jill Whalen, Christine Churchill, Ammon Johns, Eric Ward, Ian McAnerin, Cam Balzer, Alan Rimm-Kaufman, and Brian Klais. I’m working up a list of questions to send to our panelists in advance. […]
Google Maps

Geez, I just posted my latest amalgamation of Google news, then a day later they launch another new service — Google Maps. I can’t seem to keep up with all the cool stuff that Google Labs pumps out. I love the way you can pan around by clicking and dragging with the mouse. Check it […]
Bloggers spread the word of the dancing nerd

This hilarious video is going viral thanks to influential bloggers like Seth Godin and Rick Bruner. It takes a while to load, so be patient. Business 2.0 called podcasting the “democratization of broadcasting.” Think: pirate Internet radio DJs in their underwear.

Reflections on the Etail conference

Business Blogging

Last week in Chicago I had the distinct pleasure of meeting some A-List bloggers in person at the AMA Blogging Workshop, including two people I consider friends and colleagues: Toby Bloomberg and Dana VanDen Heuvel. (Thanks Toby for the great “Caution A-list Blogger: You May Be Blogged” T-shirt. It’s been working great at striking paranoia […]
