  • Google launches 'simple ads' for the AdWords local market.
  • Sergey and Eric talk in NY and are featured as TechCrunch's headline article today.

Oct 2

  • Google launches new local mobile search.
  • Bing market share falls for the 1st time since launch to 8.5% down from 9.4.
  • How are your presenting skills? Up to par? Here's a great refresher that are helpful points to remember. Good for all of us. My favorite one is to remove your badge, and of course less words generally are better. That reminds me of another famous powerpoint best practices by Guy Kawasaki.
  • Comcast to have a 51% stake in NBC? What would GE do? NBC has no cable offering at this point, so the two could make sense, if not blocked by regulators (likley I think).
