Halloween Engine Roundup
I’m a bit high strung jumpy by nature, so Halloween has never been my favorite holiday; however, it always fun to see what the engines have worked up and what great lengths people will go to humiliate themselves.
I know I’m biased, but I think Ask.com once again takes the cake for the best holiday celebration. The homepage has … Read more

Google Alerts get revamped
This is kind of cool. Google added a new alert to their Google Alerts system which lets you add set up alerts for Blog Search results.

Catching up on the industry
Good morning and happy Thursday. Don’t worry, the fact that Lisa isn’t posting has nothing to do with her attempted coup on Tuesday (unless the universe is taking revenge on her for it. In any case, it’s not my fault.) She’s out sick which means that you get me today.
