Search the Web

One of the things that can be a little frustrating is working with people who really don’t understand the Internet and how to use it. But, at the same time working with these same people can be a real education if we pay attention to what they are doing. My wife likes to remind me [...]


What Time Is It In?

While working with people in other locations around the world I have had trouble keeping up with the time differences.
A quick trick that can help with quickly knowing what time it is somewhere else is using Google to show you the current time anywhere in the world.

Timing Contextual Advertising

Contextual advertising works better with search traffic compared to that of more direct traffic, such as RSS subscribers. Although some may still argue over this, I believe it to be an established fact, at least in my experience.

Google Voice Local Search

Google has released their voice local search called Goog-411, and it works great !
There has been some mention of this in the past, but this appears to be the first “experimental” release.
I tried it immediately and was very impressed with the interface and response.
And it’s free. Google doesn’t charge you a thing for the call [...]


Blog Search

This week Scoble had a post about which blogsearch works best, Technorati or Google. Looking at the numbers is one thing, but, numbers are not the only factor.
One of the reasons I have become such a huge fan of the Google AJAX Search API is because it lets you see more than just one type [...]
