Baby Boomers and the Web

Okay so everybody and their mom talks about how important the 16-25 “youth” target market is when it comes to the Internet. I hear about this age group so much I wonder if anybody realizes what’s about to happen in the coming years.

Bently says F%$* OFF!?

From adrants: I tend to dip my head in the advertising arena as much as possible, and thought you’d like this little “ad” from Bently.

Online Music Blogs

Via Fred “A VC”: For being a huge music fan, I still rely on word of mouth to listen to new bands and haven’t done much online other than trying services such as Napster and Rhapsody. However, I think that may change soon with sites like the Hype Machine around, a service that showcases popular music via other music blogs. Heck, maybe it’s time I start a music blog of my own…eureka!

Geeking out with Cover Browser

I’ve been a geeky comic book fan ever since I was 10 years old, so I was excited to find Cover Browser, a comic-book cover search engine out together by the guys who publish Google Blogoscoped. Very nice full color images of some great art. This is going to explode, so keep your eye on it!

Time for us to get Greedy

From Andy Beal: An article on rev2.org about GreedTube, a YouTube spinoff that let’s users monetize their videos by sharing 50% of adsense revenue. Very interesting…

Search Engine Marketing Scholarship Contest, Week 1

So my article made it and was published today at Marketing Pilgrim’s Search Engine Marketing Scholarship contest.

My article is entitled “Wishing upon a star:How the Internet is increasing the ability to make our dreams come true“. I am very excited to take part in this contest. Good luck to all who had an article published.

Find where and what job pays well, Indeed!

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this site before, just never talked about it. Now that I’ve begun to focus more and more of my career on showing the world how to use the internet to further their own careers, I’ll give a shout out to job search engine Indeed. It allows you to compare salary and location data together to see where the money is at.

Online Presentation: Optimizing Content Pages

From Rand/SEOMoz: Jonathan Mendez has a nice PowerPoint about optimizing your content for your visitors, via an embedded file from Slideshare (which I just LOVE by the way! Great service think YouTube for business!).

Google’s Age-Lining Factors

Again from Jim Boykin, a post regarding Google’s Age -Linking Factors. Jim talks about how Google may actually document the date a link was found to a website, thus proving that older sites with old links have more of a chance of high search engine rankings than a new site with newer links.

Death of Microsoft Frontpage?

Jim Boykin talks today about an email he received concerning Microsoft Frontpage.

I was unaware that FrontPage was being discontinued, and the article goes into more specifics of that. I say good riddance (even though I learned using FrontPage). I’d rather see someone use Wordpress before building a site in FrontPage.

Use this list when building a website

A great list of things to consider when building a new site. Stuntdbl has done it again with a great post that I wish I could hang on my wall (maybe I will…)

Google Code Search

Just a quick shout out to Google’s new Code Search, which I’m sure will not only help start a future software tool that will change the world, but also get some people in the courtroom as well.

Marketing Like The Coke Dealers!

Sorry but I had to take advantage of the name just like they did.

From Aimee Evans: Seems that word of mouth marketing for the most-talked about energy drink Cocaine got their buzz from a $40 courier fee to the New York Times.
