How do you get an infographic to go viral?

Hey Marc,
The sites that you would be submitting to vary based on the topic of your graphic. If you choose to do a topic that is extremely viral (think top x lolcats) you will have a wide range of social news sites to submit ... more

Have infographics jumped the shark?

Infographics have certainly jumped the shark online to the point where they are penalized right out of the gate on sites such as Reddit. So we are already seeing a backlash of sorts. But they really haven't garnered much attention offline although they are much ... more

Is Bing placing search ads in organic results going to add to their revenue or disrupt Google?

Bing hasn't officially rolled this out yet as they are in testing mode, but I'm somewhat shocked that Bing would even consider testing this. The organic results are somewhat sacred in that they can't be bought (technically). Now, companies can put a lot of time/money/effort ... more

How much money would someone have to pay you to give up the internet for the rest of your life?

I'll take "Giving up the Internet" for $1 Trillion dollars, Alex (er, I mean, Scott) :)
Okay, so maybe a Billion dollars. Then I can hire other people to get me what I need from the Internet without using it myself. more

Will Google Plus take away momentum from Twitter?

I don't think that it will take momentum away from Twitter in the short term but that is Google's long term goal. By letting their contract with Twitter expire for realtime search and removing tweets from search results it is clear that Google is trying ... more

How important is a "percentage complete" bar when taking a survey?

You hit the nail on the head. I have been told that the survey will take "a few minutes" many times when it really ended up taking 20+. I am happy to give my insights as long as the survey time is accurately defined to ... more

Why is there such a difference in quality between US and international (e.g. Asian) carriers?

Good points Timothy. In addition I think one of the largest issues with the US compared to a place like Japan is land mass. Japan has always been cutting edge when it comes to wireless network speed because the entire country is about the size ... more

Is it immoral to redirect competitors' misspelled URLs to your site?

Paul, we are consumers. If Amazon has some sort of cookie tracking installed, it might be able to pick up on your recent searches and find things that you might be interested in buying. Google does this with Google Ads (targets ads based on recent ... more

What would the economic impact be if Groupon or Facebook collapses after their massive upcoming IPOs

If Groupon collapses after its possible IPO, I think the economic impact would be "that was expected".
If Facebook collapses 6-18 months after its IPO, I think it would send quite a chill across the entire technology sector. If it collapses 4-6 years after its IPO, ... more

What does Google's social search mean for B2B businesses?

Google uses Twitter and Bing uses Facebook. What it means to B2B companies? In my opinion, it means such companies can no longer hide behind the fallacy that social media cannot help them.

Does proper spelling influence Google search engine rankings?

Interesting question, Mark. Here's my take: proper spelling and good grammar influence a business, in the sense that sloppiness doesn't reflect well on any brand. When a customer (or would-be customer) lands on a page on your site, what's the customer experience? Are they turned ... more
