So last week, I started the weekly search marketing links naming convention. Just to recap, we’re trying to decide on what we’re calling the weekly links (e.g. Mélange…last week is was search hotness). So why Mélange? Well, mélange means a mixture or hodgepodge.

Blogs, social networks and personalized search are all making headlines this week. All this fancy pants social media and uppity blog talk gets me cranky.

For those of you who, like me, don’t happen to be at SES, there is actually some search news happening that isn’t in New York city. Which is where all your colleagues are. Laughing. Networking. Maxing out their expense accounts. Completely not sitting back at the office blogging. Good times.

Like the last invaders from back in ‘75 (Seventeen Seventy Five that is), it seems that Google, a new dreadnought, has its sights on Boston and they’re planning on more than a fortnight’s stay. Amidst not so subtle clues, like job listings for Google and YouTube for the Boston area and search insider gossip, the [...]
