To say I’m excited about attending SES-Toronto this year would be quite the understatement. I can’t wait - it’s definitely going to be an unforgettable experience, and Jay and I will do our best to share as much of the experience with you as possible.

You may remember that last week I posted […]

For once, Google is really handling themselves well on […]

Why Microsoft Won’t Buy Yahoo

2007 at 7:06pm | by Jay

This past weekend, Dave posted about how hard a hit our small sites would take if Microsoft did indeed buy Yahoo, as the rumors right now are suggesting. I, however, don’t buy it…
