Yesterday, Google began rolling out a brand new Search page design in the USA.
At first look, your first impression of Google’s new (currently US-only) Search page may be positive. There are many impressive traits in the new layout, largely relating to how uncluttered the design is, despite the massive amount of work that is inherently involved in generating quality search results.
One improvement involves Google Image Search, which now lets you scroll straight into a full-screen grid of photos, thanks to a responsive design and continuous scrolling.

A free download, signing up for BFF simply requires you to authorize the app via Facebook, a natural move since your ultimate goal will of course to be to broadcast the video you record onto the social network. ...An Only Me, Friends, and Public option shows up before you start, letting you decide how your video is shared. ...Once you select a privacy setting there’s a 3-second countdown and then you’re streaming live. ...Videos are only saved to your Facebook profile if you choose to save them once you’re done filming. ...As you’re shooting your video, likes and comments you receive on your Facebook post are displayed in real time on your phone. ...Broadcast for Friends will be available soon for the iPhone. You can sign up on Ustream’s website to be notified when it goes live."

"Search and social media are joined at the hip – or are they? As search engine rankings get more complex, and the dust has settled on search engine updates from the last 18 month, marketers are left wondering what’s next.
Although social media and search engine optimization used to be in two different camps of online marketing, they seem to be increasingly linked together.
In 2010, Google implemented a more social friendly search algorithm that took author reputation, bookmarking, commenting and other social “signals” (likes, retweets, shares and more) into account when presenting their search engine results. In addition, they began to implement the “Search Plus Your World” option for searchers who were logged into their Google accounts while searching. Other search engines quickly followed suit, and SEOs everywhere began to emphasize social media for optimization.
But what kind of social media and how many social media signals are a factor in search engine results?

Robin Good: Adobe Anywhere is a cloud-based video editing suite tapping into the power and features of Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects and Prelude.

Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Prelude, which will need to be updated before they can be used with Anywhere, will be able to operate in standalone mode or in a collaborative fashion with the new Adobe software. In standalone mode, you use project files stored on your local machine/computer as you would with previous versions of these applications. For collaborative workflows, you log into Adobe Anywhere, and then can use shared assets along and work with others on your production team who also are using Adobe Anywhere.
Adobe Anywhere supports most formats that Adobe Premiere natively supports including HD, SD, DV formats and more. For a complete list, see http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/supported-file-formats-premiere-pro.html ;

Well, it looks like social media may be the only good strategy we have now.
Bad links, link farms, and many other reasons were made because of the result of this Google update.
It seems as though most people don’t want to accept the fact that some of the link building strategies that they are doing are just plain wrong now, and since you can’t beat a dead horse, a change must be made!

"When you think about your title, you have to realize that it’s the first thing the viewer sees when evaluating whether or not to watch your video--whether that's from a search result, or via your social network. It’s important that a title works well for search, but also speaks to potential viewers and compels them to view your video, which will ultimately help with video rankings through engagement".

Its amazing to see how much time people are spending listening to music. Even more so than thier own productivity or social networking. Wow I think its amazing that these tools can bring it to the forefront of the mind. Although is it conveying music or "mixtapes" or "cover tunes." I have a hard time finding whats new and music to what some one sampled. Delete the scoop?
