If you’re in the online space you should probably follow the Google Webmaster Central Channel on YouTube. Don’t let the name fool you – it’s for everyone. Recently they received an interesting question for Matt Cutts; what are the top 3 items to include in your SEO strategy. (Full video […]
Google has published a facial recognition patent that might be used to auto-tag people across the web.  Auto-tagging, feature recognition, and 3D modeling are far from new concepts so it seems like Google is going to rush to beat Facebook to the punch.  I suspect that in five years you’ll be […]
Copied from my post on the uTest blog. Google’s off to a pretty intense start in 2011 – from a change in CEO to launching new products that compete directly with some of the biggest tech companies including Microsoft, Amazon and of course, Apple. It’s no secret that web and mobile […]

So I’ve started playing around with AdSense for Domains (I know, soooo December 2008).
