Search Engines Evaluating Snippets in SERPS By Bill Slawski, on July 24th, 2009 Meta descriptions for web pages likely don't influence the rankings of your web pages in search results. But if your meta descriptions include keywords that your pages might be found for, they may be displayed in search results with links to those pages. If those meta descriptions are interesting and engaging, and provide the right information, they may influence people who view them and are interested in what you offer to visit your pages. When someone searches at a search engine, they are usually presented with a list of search results, often referred to as SERPS - search engine result pages, that can include page titles, abstracts or snippets from those pages, and URLs from the pages. The abstracts or snippets may sometimes be part or all of the meta descriptions for the pages, if the meta descriptions contain the keyword or keywords used by searchers in their queries

How to Use Amazon URL Shorteneters by Dave Winer

Out of bounds Sometimes people push back on posts of mine they don't like by telling me I'm out of bounds. Somehow, they say, I've crossed the boundary of what I'm allowed to write about. They are angry that I'm now writing about something outside my defined area. I'm usually taken aback by this, because I didn't realize I'd actually agreed to any boundaries.

May 29, 2009 The Graduates I am in the midst of graduation sensation, with my eldest to receive her college diploma next Thursday and my middle child having earned her high school diploma just a week ago. We entertained thirteen college students at our home last weekend; I could now write a new script for "Survivor; The Parents" based on that experience. I am very pleased that my college graduate will begin her career at Edelman Chicago in the fall; Generation Three begins! Given the terrible job market for college and professional school graduates, I thought it appropriate to offer some advice on how to approach the employment search in PR. First, consider working initially as an intern. Most of our offices are utilizing summer interns. Some of these jobs will become full time in the fall, given normal employee turnover. We have the interns do real work, from preparing press lists to writing press materials. Second, digital is your fastest way in the door and to the top. All PR firms are rapidly adapting their core offerings, as the game shifts away from sole reliance on media relations. Show us how you're blogging, tweeting, utilizing video, participating with communities, advancing issues. If you can demonstrate how you can advise on social media, then you have immediate value. We operate a facebook site solely for potential interns, and a twitter, facebook, widget and a LinkedIn site for all pros so they can participate with the Edelman community.

Contest Over Video Rocks by Tarable AUG 21 Last month, we launched a contest to find a great Lijit story. We did so to hear what our publishers had to say about us. And it turns out…they have lots to say and many different ways of saying it. (Also? Some only entered to get a free shirt-which tells you a lot about our shirts!) From the humorous to the ethereal to the very concise, the contest entries really spanned the spectrum. After wading through all the posts and getting most of the company to weigh in, we are proud to announce that we have chosen a winner. Before I announce that winner, some comments about the entry that was deemed most Lijit… "Everyone loves a video…"

The Culture of the Internet I've been thinking a lot about Internet culture lately. Or, rather, the culture *of* the Internet. A peculiar chain of events unfolded on Twitter a couple nights ago. I sent my followers a link to a hilarious sendup of Internet comment culture, a music video spoof called "We Didn't Start the Flamewar." (It's at http://bit.ly/16NZLH, and it contains a ton of bad language, plus parodies of offensive, juvenile comments). Then I made the tragic mistake of mentioning, in a subsequent tweet, that that song's lyrics mentioned something I hadn't heard of: Rickrolling. DOH!
