11 Aug 09: Talked w G team that works with large corp accts; it helped me v much to develop better strategies. Very useful event. #SES
11 Aug 09: Google had martini with illuminated ice cubes. V amusing effect. Talked with many from G's TV team, plus other teams. Our rep came down #SES
11 Aug 09: Instead, they had Google Drink:-) Private event for selected agencies. Maybe 50 people and 20-30 senior G team. Met many whom I knew #SES
11 Aug 09: No Google Dance this year. Google is cutting costs. Remember when Yahoo rented Great America amusement park? Free rides? Oh, well. #SES
11 Aug 09: Facebook had a stand (first time). Very enthusiastic. Talked with them. They were handing out $50 coupons. #SES
11 Aug 09: Google's stand was the usual. Nothing new. Omniture's stand was smaller than last year. Webtrends was there with their new interface. #SES
11 Aug 09: BIng was totally packed. Long line waiting for free copy of Shirky's book, and talk w Bing team. They were helpful and open, as usual. #SES
11 Aug 09: Poor Yahoo. Big stand, nobody there. I took a photo; it's the last time Yahoo will be at SES. Nice people. I chatted with their team. #SES

10 Aug 09: Going to SES San Jose on Tues morning. I'll be walking around. #SES
1 Aug 09: Want to compare Bing vs. Google? Easy. Use www.bing-vs-google.com and see the results, side-by-side.
31 Jul 09: How is Bing able to predict the best flight prices? See http://bit.ly/ioSZg They could extend this into other industries.
30 Jul 09: No Google Dance party at SES San Jose this year. Google is cutting costs. They can't afford the party anymore.
29 Jul 09: To learn more how Bing works, I'm switching my default search engine to Bing for a few weeks.
29 Jul 09: Google will finally have to start to listen to customers. GMail is one of the worst email tools. Maybe now they'll begin to fix it.
29 Jul 09: For SEO: Bing has price comparison, etc. Start using Bing to learn how it works. See how your sites & keywords are ranking in Bing.
29 Jul 09: If you're using PPC (paid search, i.e., Google Adwords), try Bing's PPC. Much cheaper clicks and CPAs.
29 Jul 09: Microsoft+Yahoo: MS will have 30% marketshare, the first serious challenge to Google. G must change. They have no customer support, etc.
28 Jul 09: Under the deal, Bing will power Yahoo's searches. Yahoo will handle advertising sales, using Microsoft technology.
28 Jul 09: Microsoft and Yahoo agreed to an online search and advertising partnership. More details tomorrow.
