The sites, which are of course all wikis, can either be hosted at Wetpaint or on a ...

This week, along with the Whiteboard Friday video, I've also included a pair of informative and hopefully, entertaining, charts. The video discusses why some companies in more conservative sectors or with more traditional ideas about marketing and PR shy away from social media and blog engagement, despite the many benefits those arenas can bring. It's a critique we hear not only from clients, b...

This morning brings news from around the web of losses to the Google Toolbar PageRank (the little green pixels displayed in the toolbar) for a myriad of sites.

I'm on a plane from Newark to Seattle. It's late at night, and the first hour was spent on the ground waiting for low CIGS (low ceilings of clouds & rain) to clear. So, while I still have another 4.5 hours in front of me, I'm just grateful to be in the air. The last week was a whirlwind – although that's nothing new. For the last 4 ...

PageRank is not about voting for websites or vouching for them. An incorrect metaphor is being propagated to the point where Google's own employees are confused as to what PageRank is supposed to be about, as per Larry Page and Sergey Brin's Anatomy of a Search Engine paper.Google's founders conceived of PageRank...
