Pre-Weekend Roundup for the Week of 10/12/08

SEO Events

Since I've caught the awesome cold that's been running rampant through our office, I was unable to publish the roundup yesterday. As such, I'm publishing it today as a temporary "Pre-Weekend Roundup." Now you'll have something fun to read on your lazy Saturday morning! Aren't I thoughtful... Stories, news, and other notable items from the past week: * TechRadar has a list of 20 websites that changed the world and revolutionized the way we lead our lives. The first ever website went online August 6, 1991, which was my 8th birthday. That's one hell of a birthday gift!

So this weekend I had a bit of free time so I decided to learn how to play go (narrowly beating chess I might add). Now as anyone who's familiar with go will know, it will probably take me more than a weekend to learn how to play but still, you have to start somewhere right!? Of course, being an internet junkie one of the first things I did was Google around to find some information online about g...

Roundup Thursday for the Weeks of 9/28/08 and 10/5/08

SEO Events

My apologies for the missing roundup last week--I got a lot of panicked emails from folks who were afraid that Thursday Roundups were killed off along with our old site design.
