Robyn Tippins is mystified about why Google has put a ban on her site. And evidently the system Google uses to inform people that their site has been banned does not include either an indication as to the reason for the banning, or a means of finding out.
It would be much easier for site owners […]
When I’m talking about blogging to business people who don’t yet know much about the subject, I get pretty quickly to the point where I explain the value of a blog in getting better ranking on the search engines. Original content, with fresh postings on a regular basis, etc. My impression is that people usually […]
My interest in online search goes back to when I was managing a company and paying out more money than I thought was reasonable to have our state library service do online searches for the company.
And although they were no doubt doing the best they could, the great stacks of continuous sheets of printout seemed to contain […]
My Time to Get Serious About Video post on May 23rd was written and referenced in the context of Google’s recently announced universal search model.
At the time of writing that post I was finding it a challenge to discover a concise, well illustrated explanation of how universal search manifests itself in practice.

Lee LeFever has provided a very neat explanation of RSS, with pictures, in his Video: RSS in Plain English.
Elegant and entertaining.
He gives some examples of readers. I would be adding BlogBridge.
This video link is one to send to your friend or family member who could benefit from RSS, especially if his or her eyes glazed […]

John Battelle is an entrepreneur, journalist, professor, author and currently founder and chairman of Federated Media Publishing. He writes lucidly, […]
From time to time I notice in one of my RSS feed readers a post or two on the general topic of full feeds vs. excerpts. It’s been on my list of Things I Must Get Around to Understanding Better.
Some bloggers like to syndicate only a partial feed, or excerpt, not the whole article or […]
RSS, webfeeds, syndication - very important concepts to understand for maximizing the reach and effectiveness of any blog.
So it’s good that in the Technology channel on our b5media network we have a blog dedicated to helping the rest of us understand what’s what in the world of feed - see A Feed is Born.
One slight […]
I’m no doubt not the only person whose first impressions of the online service MyBlogLog have been based on the Recent Readers widget appearing on various blogs. Which led me to believe it was basically another community-building, social networking, link-swapping kind of thing. Well, it does seem that is right, but there is more to […]
