I've been writing a weekly round up article on the best and hottest viral videos for well over a year now. One of the most common questions I'm asked is about my sources--where do I find the videos I feature in my weekly best-of article.  I get asked that enough that I figured it might ...

Marrisa Mayer has a new title at Google:  head of consumer products.  Which is a little vague, if you ask me, but most major company job titles are that way.  At the LeWeb 2010 conference in Paris, she sat down on stage for an interview with Techcrunch founder Michael Arrington.  And he got some pretty ...

Google search magnifying glass

Since we talk about SEO, I figured we should talk about the search engines so you know where to focus (Google) and where you can sort of skip (AOL). Now, I find it odd that this report from comScore is five times longer than the new Video Metrix which has just two charts in it ...

Way back in the beginning, when YouTube was just an infant, their search function was awful.  It was flat-out terrible.  And while it’s improved a lot since Google came into the picture, it’s still not always as helpful and accurate as we probably wish it could be.  And a large part of that has to ...
