Yahoo and Bing Teaming up Against Google
In a move to take some of the momentum away from Google, Microsoft has re-entered their negations with Yahoo.

More importantly, will we no longer only worry about how visible we are in the eyes of Google?

Was Google Down or Hacked Yesterday?
When I tried to access Google yesterday at about 10:30 AM EST in Miami FL, it loaded very slowly and none of the links were functioning. I experienced the same slowness on Gmail and Adwords. I have been using Google since 2001 and this is the first time this has happened.

Does Google See It All?
No one really knows what exactly Google is thinking and doing. The industry has its assumptions, data and case studies of how we think Google behaves and operates. Other than what they release in their corporate profile and the blogs of brains such as Matt Cutts and Avinash, we can only rely on our data and what we know actually works.
