Will Google Instant Make It Impossible to Game Search Traffic? (The Atlantic Wire)

September 10, 2010

The Atlantic Wire - The dark art of search engine optimization (SEO) focuses on getting a website to appear prominently in search results. And since a number of websites live or die based on how much Web traffic search engines send them, Google's new update to search, Google Instant, has some worried. Should they be? Yes, according to Steve Rubel, a Forbes columnist and Internet marketing guru. He says the introduction of Google Instant, which instantly provides search results as you type, is a game changer:

Cartel-Plagued Mexico: As Bad as Colombia? (The Atlantic Wire)

September 10, 2010

The Atlantic Wire - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has compared the worsening drug violence in Mexico to Colombia of the 1980s and 90s, when cartels challenged the state police and military for control of whole swathes of the South American nation. "It's looking more and more like Colombia looked 20 years ago," Clinton said of Mexico in comments on Wednesday, comparing the cartels to an insurgency. "It got to the point where more than a third of the country, nearly 40% of the country at one time or another was controlled by the insurgents." Journalists and experts are evaluating this claim, which Mexican officials have unsurprisingly rejected. Is Mexico really as bad as rock-bottom Colombia? If so, what are the implications?

Florida Sept. 11 Koran-Burning Plan Spurs Debate (The Atlantic Wire)

September 10, 2010

The Atlantic Wire - A Florida church led by pastor Terry Jones has spent weeks publicizing its plan to burn Korans on September 11. But now that hundreds of people in Afghanistan and Indonesia are protesting the planned event and General David Petraeus has condemned it, saying it will endanger his troops, the U.S. is starting to pay more attention to this fringe but increasingly high-profile event. What does it mean for the U.S. struggle against terror? What are its moral and legal implications? Should the U.S. government try to intervene?

Will Ex-CEO Mark Hurd Seek Vengeance on HP at His New Job? (The Atlantic Wire)

September 10, 2010

The Atlantic Wire - When Mark Hurd was fired as CEO of Hewlett-Packard following a mysterious sexual harassment complaint, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison slammed HP's board of directors saying they "just made the worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple board fired Steve Jobs." Now Ellison is putting his money where his mouth is, hiring Hurd as Oracle's co-president. "Mark did a brilliant job at HP and I expect he'll do even better at Oracle," Ellison said in a statement announcing the hire. Intriguingly, Oracle is looking to compete in the same space as HP. Will Hurd exact revenge on his former bosses?

September 10, 2010

RealClearPolitics.com - On Friday, at a town hall in small town Oklahoma, conservative Sen. Tom Coburn said Newt Gingrich is "the last person I'd vote for, for president."
