Facebook and Twitter are getting most of the ink, attention and money of late in the social media world.

A WebmasterWorld thread started by moderator, GooodROI, has SEOs and webmasters sharing the SEO Checklist for the new year…

Dieting is one of the most popular new year’s resolutions for us humans.

What 2010 taught us in technology, if nothing else, is that the next few years will be largely centered around tablet computing. It’s changing the way we think about accessing the Internet and, indeed, the way we think of using the Web at all

The future of several Google properties rest on one concept: web-based apps. Without web-based apps, the possibility for a truly usable Chrome OS wouldn’t exist. Without web-based apps, Android would fizzle and die

If we were to state one reason why Google has taken over the search engine world, it would be “innovation.” Their original approach to search engines was entirely unique and revolutionized the way we think about search engine ranking. Since that time, they have entered a large number of fields, creating an array of beautiful products; Gmail became a front-runner in web mail, Google Docs changed our approach to productivity, and YouTube has wasted literally billions of hours that should have been devoted to work

Android is open, and that’s been used as an excuse for a diverse number of claims and actions. The FCC cited it as a reason not to having net neutrality laws apply to the mobile web; analysts are pointing to Google’s open nature to show how they’re likely to overrun the iPhone through sheer numbers; and, most recently, Amazon is using it as a way to invade Google’s home territory. According a report on Tech Crunch , the Amazonian marketplace for Android will be launched in 2011, and its developer access is already open

We recently did a report on how Chrome, IE, Firefox, and Safari were doing in the United States. Google, after all, just hit the brag-worthy benchmark of 10% of all used browsers. The picture in Europe, however, looks different across the board.

Google and Microsoft aren’t exactly what we would call “best friends.” They’re competing on almost every front, including browsers, search engines, smartphones, and now tablets and operating systems as well. But every once in a while, Google gives Microsoft a shout out — usually to tell them that their products need work.
