Using Social Media To Dominate Search Results
Yahoo! shows us a nice article explaining much of what we already know about ‘reputation management’.

Talk to us if you need help on this!

Yahoo! gave us another thought provoking article by showing us a case study of Infinity, & Pepsi outlining how they are gaining emotional insights by learning about neurological research. A great read.
Bing Redesigns Its Homepage to Reflect Contemporary Design Standards
Microsoft made its biggest design change of the last decade this week. The page is now much more simple and clean in its design. It also integrates search, news, local & social networking. The design reflects the move that many companies are making towards simplicity and the core message of the website. Something we have been making a big push towards through our own data driven discoveries too!
