It has become unavoidable at this point. If you don't tweet, I bet at least five of your Facebook friends have synched up their Tweets to their status update. It's gotten to the point where even my friends who aren't within the internet marketing industry (all 5 of them) have a Twitter account, whether they know how to use it or not doesn't really matter. I doubt they will sign up for Pownce and the whole point of any of these wastes of time are for them to exist for the masses.<br/><br/>10 Vote(s) ]]></description>

Though search as a problem is far from solved, there are many advantages that accrue from the imperfection of search engines. Firstly, there is this new skill that one gets to hone in identifying and getting to the answers one seeks from a whole pile of content. Then there is the obvious market for search optimization since in the perfect search world, the engine makes out the relevance of the article, no matter what the layout of content.<br/><br/>5 Vote(s) ]]></description>
