Google Chrome is finally upon us (released today). Google has finally joined Mozilla and other Open source browsers in the browser wars. We also know that IE 8 will be out soon, so Microsoft and Google will be at it again. So why is Chrome significant. For one Google gets to attract more eyeballs to its web services. If you think about it, Google has been methodically working towards its plan to dominate the WWW, and Google Chrome is another piece of the puzzle. Also, IE 8 is going to threaten Google’s ability to watch our every activity, so Google...
The most scary thing about openning up a private Web 2.0 service such as Yahoo! Buzz? Simple! Aggressive marketers. We have seen it with MySpace, LinkedIn, and FaceBook. Now you can add Yahoo! Buzz to the list of online venues that will be targeted to generate millions of free visitors (or that’s what marketers will try to do). I personally like the fact that I get to try this good looking service as I don’t really have a site that can go against SI or ESPN, so having the chance to really test it out would be great.

PageRank is not really as important as it used to be but going from 3 to 0 in a couple of days is depressing. Having said that, some sites have seen improvements. Check yours today! Read More →
Well, if you haven’t heard the news yet, then you should know that Google is pretty much close to buying Digg for about $200m (Kevin, can you spare a bother a mil?). So what does it all mean for people who have used Digg to drive traffic to their sites? It’s tough to say. I don’t think Google with follow no follow links on Digg. Having said that, I still expect sites to get indexed quickly using Diggoogle. But Digg will be in good hands. Google will take care of Digg for now, and I am sure the algorithms will get better and the whole gaming...
