WikiLeaks Founder to be Extradited
The time has come for Julian Assange to face the music. Today, the British court system has decided to extradite the WikiLeaks founder to Sweden where he will face questioning about the alleged sexual molestation and rape that occurred in that country involving two WikiLeaks volunteers. The decision was made by Judge Howard Riddle after three grueling months of what seemed like a soap opera style case.

WikiLeaks, Bank of America and E-Businesses
In ongoing revelations surrounding WikiLeaks, it seems that Bank of America may be its next target. Supposedly, the information to be released is damaging enough to force a top executive to resign. Undoubtedly, it was only a matter of time before the changing face of the internet and the accompanying lack of privacy made their way into the private lives of corporations. Who knows, maybe the forced honesty will lead to improved, more transparent business practices. Definitely, the need for reputation management and substantive, trust-building SEO content will not see a decline in the near future.
