Goolge’s +1 button, which just received a major update, is becoming one of the most popular sharing buttons available. Many sites that once relied on Twitter and Facebook sharing buttons are increasingly adding +1 to the mix. Not surprisingly, Google is looking to use +1 sharing data to re-rank search results.
In a recent email to the editors of Wired.com, a Google spokesman wrote:
Google will study the clicks on +1 buttons as a signal that influences the ranking and appearance of websites in search results. The purpose of any ranking signal is to improve overall search quality. For +1’s and other social ranking signals, as with any new ranking signal, we’ll be starting carefully and learning how those signals are related to quality.

Every time a new social network comes on the scene there’s talk of it being a “Facebook killer,” a site that will draw users away from the most dominant social network on the Web.

I admit it. I’m a purist. It was hard for me to switch to a Twitter client but I’m now happily using several. It was almost impossible for me to switch to a Facebook platform other than FB itself, but I’m doing it.
When I was told to try out the new blogging platform in our Search and Social Dashboard, I was scared. Don’t get me wrong – I love the new dashboard. It does everything I ever wanted a dashboard to do. It’s just… well, I like the WordPress interface.
If you’re reading this entry, it means that I like and fully approve of our new blog-posting component. If I didn’t like it, I would have removed this entry and asked for the feature to be pulled from the dashboard altogether.
Alright, that’s it. Here we go. Either you just read that or you didn’t.
Fingers crossed…

When news first broke about Google’s “farmer algorithm” nearly a month ago, I received calls from partners (and a couple of competitors) asking if I was scared. On the contrary, I was ecstatic, and they didn’t understand why.

In what can only be described as good news for both consumers as well as white-hat search engine optimization firms, Google is going after the content-farm model by soliciting help from users themselves.
Rolling out as a new Chrome extension, the search giant will allow users to block content from their search results. While this isn’t new in itself, the collection of the data to help shape the search results is a strong statement and will benefit everyone other than spammers.
