Email Is Crushing Facebook, Twitter for Selling Stuff Online
The people who thought email marketing died with the rise of social media were dead wrong. As platforms like Facebook and Twitter prevail for instantly connecting with customers, when it comes to selling the goods email shows a much greater promise of getting those customers to the checkout aisle.
Yahoo Buys Mobile App Qwiki
To keep up with Google’s tide, Yahoo has been putting its revenue to float on a long list of apps, which now includes Qwiki. This app automatically converts a user's iPhone photos and videos into shareable movies.
AltaVista Officially Closes - What Will Pawnee Do!
Yesterday marked the official end to one of the world’s earliest search engines, AltaVista. Yahoo acquired the search engine back in 2003 and after 10 years have decided to take the site offline. For those still using AltaVista out there, if you try to access the site now you’ll be directed to a Yahoo- branded landing page.
Google Analytics Gets New AdWords Integration Platform
Now AdWords advertisers will be able to view campaign or ad group reports within Google Analytics. This new AdWords integration will slowly roll out across accounts in the next few weeks.

Thank you for including an article about Qwiki, even if it isn’t the focus of the article that is linked. I had not heard of the app before and it seems very useful. I definitely plan to add it to my arsenal of apps.
I wonder if Yahoo can ever conquer Google? It seems they have been playing the catch up game for long time now.

Great post you made this week. I am not surprised that email marketing, is still the number one way to conduct business online. It is a great tool to build relationships with people, which what it all boils down too when trying to sell products. People will only buy from people they know, like, and trust.
