Steve Jobs, You're my Hero!

Normally I leave things like this alone. I stay away from the platform battles and let all of you find out for yourself that Apple is by far a better operating system. But, I could not pass this chance up. Watch the Video below, and see for your self.

Jobs vs Gates

Oh, and just for laughs. Here's a quick comparison of the new Windows Vista (how long did it take them to make this?) vs OS X

Meta Tags and You!

Here is a quick Email from a co-worker and myself. Their big question had to do with meta tags, and their importance.

Now, with the meta tags, there is a huge miss conception with their importance. The major Players in the Search Engine Community no longer pay attention to the meta tags from an SEO stand point. The main reason for this, is because of keyword stuffing. Basically people just putting what ever keywords they can in the meta tags to try and improve their positions in the search engines.

Now with that being said, we still need to make sure our clients change the Meta Tags, and personalize them. Keep in mind, that sometimes Google will use the Text from the Meta Description in the display text on the search results page. The basic concept is, just accurately depict what is found on that specific page. IE: if it's a page for buyers, don't get into info about sellers, but make sure to drop an area location or two. Remember, we are trying to promote the client and their areas, but in a way that search engines don't over look it as spamming.

I hope this helps. Let me know if there is anything else :-)

Oh, and here is a link that might help with some more info.

Death, Taxes, and the Web?

Certainty? In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes. - Benjamin Franklin

I am now going to coin a new phrase: Certainty? In this world nothing is certain but death, taxes, and the web! Imagine the T-Shirts I could make.

So lately I continue to read articles about how in the late 80's and early 90's, the Internet was viewed as a passing fad. (Kind of like tube socks in the early 80's) As we all know this couldn't be further from the truth.

The Internet will now always be a constant in everything we do. From social networking, to research, and everything else in between, it all evolves around the Internet.

And now, we have Web 2.0; The Future of the Internet. An Internet that is driven by the people. Where the machine feeds off of us. This is why it's important to keep an updated website, and to continue to feed the machine. Why it's important to share as much info on your website as possible. Not only are you growing your presence, but possibly the Internet.
