On Friday afternoon while basking in the Miami sunlight poolside, I opened up my email on my mobile device to find a very peculiar email. Great, another threatening letter from a stock photo company or something. Just lovely. But sometimes karma swings your way. It was a letter from some law firm. It turns out LinkedIn was ordered to [...]
There is no denying it, there has been a lot of talk lately about Google+ shutting down. I refuse to speculate on if this will happen or not, because that is a horse that has been beaten to death. Google's done this a few times in the past with social networks, just shut em down. to name a few: [...]
By now I’m sure that you’ve heard the news: Google is indexing and displaying Tweets in Google. A few months back they began displaying them in mobile results, and now they are displaying them in desktop as well.

First thing to know about Twitter's new internal web browser is that it is part of the main Twitter app. Anytime you tap a hyperlink URI (not a hashtag) the web browser will open in a "new tab" [...]
How to prevent your friends from seeing where you are on Facebook I was calmly going about my day last week when a friend of mine called me with an urgent situation: "Can you check Facebook, where does it say I'm at?" "Uh, Chicago dude, why?" "Dammit, I need help turning that off." It turns out he wasn't crazy [...]
My list of who I think are the most funniest SEO's out there. In an industry known for being really dry at times, it is nice to follow some people that like to spice it up. Dr Pete definitely gets the #1 slot. This dude is hilarious, and is definitely a "must follow." Sometimes he is on fire. Gonna [...]
As many of you know, I'm not a huge fan of LinkedIn. I mean, I don't despise them as I do Yelp or even the BBB, but I put LinkedIn into the category of "weird, confusing, and challenging." So today I decided to point out the ugliness and non-SEO friendliness of LinkedIn's permalinks. As a programmer, I get it. [...]
