Last night’s Search Marketing New England (SEMNE) Event in Trumbull Connecticut was a complete success for myself and four others from ADP and BZ Results. You wouldn’t think that piling people into a car for two hours would be fun – but it was a great break for a team that has been hard at work for a quite a while now. Before I get too far, if you need more background on the event please read my preview post…

Like many others concerned about Tynt, I’m testing out…
There have been undercurrents in the search industry for years that place Google in the wrong with their hypocritical “do no evil” claims. For many folks (including myself) their goal of “organizing the world’s information” is bullshit. Pure bullshit.
