Roundup Thursday for the Week of 7/20/08
Three star links: * Great news for Internet marketers and e-commerce: more shoppers are purchasing goods via the Internet because of the high gas costs. * The New Atlantis exposes the "myth of multitasking." Well, there goes my built-in excuse to Rand whenever he asks me why I'm browsing Etsy instead of doing site reviews. Crap. * Interesting opinions here: Paul Graham discusses pooled-risk company management, and 37signals disagrees with him, saying you don't need to sell your company in order to have financial freedom.
Roundup Thursday for the Week of 7/13/08
Three star links: * 10e20 brings us "The Ultimate Guide to Decoding Digg Speak." It's both amusing and surprisingly thorough. Pretty handy if you're an SMM noob and need to know what "those crazy kids" are talking about. * Now we know why your socks keep disappearing when you wash them...they make a good snake sweater! * Here's an interesting article about how the "Google generation" thinks differently. Generation Google appears to prefer multi-tasking, networking, multiple media sources,and images and video over text, while "digital immigrants" prefer the opposite. Interesting stuff.

Stories, news, and other notable items from the past week: Three star links: * The best SEO training money can buy (hey, we do have to wade through a lot of shit in order to achieve top rankings...). * Apparently Yelp is shutting down accounts it thinks are "trading glowing reviews with other business owners."

I've combined news and whatnot from last week into this week's roundup, so please forgive the extra bloatedness of this week's post (there's no such thing as Alka-Seltzer for blogs, is there?). Stories, news, and other notable items from the past week: ...
SMX Advanced Recap (The R. Kelley Version)

Thus, my complaining about beginning conference recaps is how I've chosen to start this one. Luckily, there is plenty to talk about from SMX Advanced, and...
