In an end of the year slap in the face to web site owners and marketers, Google shows it is now a true kissing cousin to Microsoft.
I’m quite convinced the Google “response” was misdirection. Oh hell. Its a lie.
There is some real disdain being felt right now for the screwy way in which Google has responded to questions about why they made this change. Google has a way of compounding existent frustrations caused by poor communication by then giving conflicting responses to issues like these.
the google reaction was weak. Something is going on. They aren’t being straight.

Any search engine marketer who has attempted to register their client’s business web site with Google Local Business is met with some serious usability roadblocks. Google put into place several security and privacy steps, but they come at a price.
Before a listing is accepted, Google must call the business to verify they want their listing published. If you are the site owner and you’re entering your business information, you are likely also near a phone. When the automated phone call is placed, you’re there to answer it, retrieve the code it assigns you and finish your online application.

At Cre8asiteforums, we’re discussing the Internet response to celebrity deaths. What some of us saw early on, particularly in the case of Michael Jackson, was a mix of shock and grief and a sudden vile response. If you didn’t present the “correct” opinion in Twitter, you could risk being “unfollowed”.
Participants in The Internet Response To Michael Jackson’s Sudden Death bring a variety of experiences from all over the world.
For many, the Internet was NOT the place to go for any kind of solace or even factual information. It is, however, where millions went at first and many sites crashed as a result.

A great debate is taking place in Cre8asiteforums on social media, social networking, human behavior, societal change and whether “awareness” is mistaken for actual change.”
Ruud Hein starts off the Opinion: Media, Social Or Not, Does Not Cause Change by referring to how the latest Iranian political situation is being communicated “live” via Twitter.
Some of the discussion:
I repeated a story I’d heard on the news about an elderly couple who were spending the night on their roof when the quakes started. They struggled to hold hands and keep from being separated as their building pancaked, but after the quake the husband was left to tell the tale and the wife had slipped out of his grasp and been swallowed by rubble. I told him it brought tears to my eyes.
