Semantic Business Search Engine Launches, Google Pay Per Action...

  • Danny says it's time for old media to start linking out. I'm applauding - so loud you'll probably be able to hear it where you are sitting. Linking out is just plain good manners. Failing to link out is just plain rude.

  • Zoom.info is a business search engine. They claim they have launched the "first market ready semantic search engine"

  • I'm calling April 1st on this from Yahoo!. Since when is Gay Rodeo underground? ;)

  • Why journalism matters. "What happens when you have thousands of people wielding the power of the press without any shared principles or standards?". I don't think a "blogger code of ethics" is going to go anywhere, though. The co-called "blog problem" is that blogs aren't journalism. Blogs are conversation, and conversation is messy, opinionated, and off-the-cuff. I liked Aarons take on it.

  • How to work no-follow. "Just because a person came to a site through a no-follow link doesn't mean they won't link to you using a clean one"

  • Pay-per-post detractors. Amusing rant.

  • Barry takes a look at Google Pay Per Action.

  • This made me smile.

  • Google suggests you swim the ocean. It should take you 3,462 minutes. At least.

  • Does MySpace "earn" 30 Million per month in Adsense revenue?

  • Story about receiving the yellow card from Google.

  • This is way off topic, but if there are any musicians/home recording enthusiasts reading this, and you're after a fully-featured DAW that doesn't suck, then check out Reaper. It's free. It's made by the guy who brought you WinAmp.

I also blog daily at V7N...
