"Brain Hacking" - Another Unintended Consequence of Technology http://t.co/EOoZ1roK via @sharethis
Facebook Catching Up to Gmail
In the mid 1990s— practically ancient times in terms of the Internet and technology— America Online revolutionized how people communicated with the advent of instant messaging. Suddenly, it was possible to carry on a conversation on a computer without the relative formality of emails. Instant messaging was, and continues to be, ideal for the most casual of interactions, with only die-hard techies using it for transferring files or saving old conversations for future reference.
Only a few years later, while business email users were banging their heads in frustration at finding their inboxes overflowing—or worse, that AOL or another program was automatically deleting old emails—Google introduced Gmail, with the novel innovation of unlimited space so users never have to delete another email. Armed with Google's unique algorithm to search through these ever-expanding troves of past emails to ferret out the exact one you are looking for, it has proven to be an invaluable time-saving tool compared to sifting through folders that Microsoft Outlook continues to employ.

As a small business owner, I have had to complete the voluminous applications for merchant account services and sign personal guarantees for everything. Anytime I can find a simple solution to something as important as accepting payments, I want to shout from the rooftops.

If you are one of the many, many, many people who struggle with search-engine optimization, or SEO, then have no fear, here are some key points to help you out.
Now, there is no perfect SEO to any site. There are a lot of sites that are really good at SEO and have pretty much nailed it, but they can always update and improve it.
When it comes to the SEO leader, Google, it is always changing and improving how SEO works and what changes need to be made. For example, you can't keyword spam anymore (i.e., writing hidden code for a website about Britney Spears that reads "britney spears, britney, spears, pop, rock, roll, dance, dancer, sing, singer" etc. as opposed to simply creating content with natural keywords).
As well, it supposedly doesn't matter if your images have keywords in them (I still add them, anyway).
