WOW!  Now this is what I call noticeable change!  Amazing what color will do for a page you stare at as much as we all do in a year.

Fascinating 6-minute video monologue. Lots of cool ideas in there, but one stands out: his definition of terrorist.

Using his definition of terrorist, we'd have to put both al Qaeda and the radical right wing into that category -- people who hate science, hate tolerance, and want to establish monocultural theocratic rule. The weapons they use are different, of course (groups with little power use bombs, groups with lots of power use media/ propaganda), but the aims are actually similar, albeit for different theological tribes.

Boy, I hope we make it to a Type 1 world, but I have my doubts.

BREAKING SEO NEWS - G+ Links Shared Via the "Add Link" button on G+ posts are fully followed!

Links pasted to the body are nofollowed So, again we see that sharing blog posts this way is far more beneficial to the original content.

+Bill Hartzer shows us at the fully followed link below, the proof.

But remember, for the last 15 years, the domain Google.com has not passed PageRank or now what we call link juice. But, why is Google now using nofollow on it own sites? So does this matter? Tell me what you think in the comments below...

Checking out the latest changes over at Bing.com. They've added more social networks to the results: Twitter, LinkedIn and Klout as well as more info from Facebook. In the far right are results from my Facebook friends related to the term I am looking for, in this case - me. But, that's been there for awhile. 

This reminds me of what happens on Google when you search for celebs or famous places. Overall, I like the changes there, but wish that Google Plus was among the social networks they included. Of course, that's not very likely anytime soon. 

What do you think about the changes at Bing? Marvelous or meh? Leave your vote in the comments below.

Monitis??  Sounds like an STD.  Like a virus.  Like something I don't want monitoring my sites.
