Google and AOL :: You’re Thinking It.- BusinessWeek’s Rob Hot said it.
Welcome New Friend!
We'd love to see you back again. You can subscribe by RSS feed, or get updates by email. And please feel free to comment. Don't forget to leave your link and your name.
The question? What’s the deal with this whole Google/AOL deal where Google reportedly paid a Billion dollars for a 5% stake in AOL? And why are they giving up all these free ads to AOL?
Clip ==> “Even after trolling through the massive coverage through memeorandum, something doesn’t feel right. If anyone can identify just what Google’s getting that’s worth risking its reputation (deserved or not) as the best search site, I’m sure readers here would love to hear it….”

So soon after I made such a fuss about how kick-@ss Google Web Comments is, I’m shamefully made to eat (some) of my words in public.

I love you, Google. Honest.

I haven’t been writing much about Technorati because since around the middle of last week, my tags haven’t been working right. I’ve been meaning to do a nice video tutorial about things you can do with Technorati, Icerocket and the like but like I said, I been broke down.
Well, anyway, today when I was re-claiming my blog I noticed a post of Steve’s , which talks about new goings-ons at Technorati.
Yahoo News from the 9th
On the 9th (yes, that was a week ago, and yeah, I’m off my game. Happy???) Yahoo Bought del.icio.us, which I first read about in Micro Persuasion.
Why am I bringing it up a week late? Because I found this interesting and thought you would too. (So get off my back!

Search Engine News with Screenshots :: Google Firefox Extension (Web Comments)
I’m so jealous of how cozy Google and Firefox are right now. Man. I may have to break up with Yahoo over this here… (We can stay friends..)
The News ==> This is the sexiest thing that Google has done in a minute. If you like the Blog This extension for Firefox, you’re going to loooooove this. I quote for you from the Official Google Blog in a post from yesterday evening:
I’ll explain more about this in a few minutes….
I’m using the new Google Firefox extension for Web Comments to comment on the Blogger Dashboard page. This is going to take many, many screenshots and perhaps even a video to explain.
Okay. I just saw something that I have to do a video about - if you’re a Traffic Reality member, I’ll definitely have to do a longer one for you. Wow.
Search Engine News: Yahoo: One Page Podcast Management

The whole reason that I was even thinking about changing payment processors, instead of adding an additional alternative, is that the audience most likely to purchase my products gets kind of confused when they find themselves re-directed to another site for payments, that doesn’t even look like the site they came from.
Why?

If you’ve read some of my earlier posts, you know that I’m one of the people generally having a love/hate relationship with PayPal. When I wrote that article last year, I had a bit of a higher tolerance for them. Nowadays, I don’t know…
Especially this time of year, the length of time it takes for that payment page to load just kills my conversion rate.
