I prefer the old tool, but I can't complain. Use it once daily and it is still free. I got on the site when the quirks were still active, but it looks as if it is working fine right now. Thanks, SEOMoz!
Does Digg really matter in the first place? Some of the stuff being submitted seems to be from fourth-graders. My apologies to elementary school children everywhere.
Kim, I have the answer to the question -- "What car is it?" You'll have to find my blog comment for that answer, however. ;-)
Well, sort of. In some cases user generated content is inaccurate -- therefore not trustworthy -- requiring editors to verify and source everything. We call that Wikipedia.
Michael, thank you *so much* for the information. Next time you want me to spill the beans, send the details my way. I promise I won't tell anyone about Yahoo's plan to buy out eBay! wink*wink
Good one, Dan. Inasmuch that I can pull up just about everything online, TV still has its place in our lives.
SimonSlade -- I've been able to complete each upgrade within ten minutes time and I have nine blogs to do with each update (#10 is on the way!)
Give point, planetc1. Small businesses need and edge, something we can provide through top notch SEO services.
Black eyes aren't necessarily bad as long as you can still see out of 'em!
Seriously, every industry has its bad guys, SEO is no exception. Lots of people still don't understand SEO and with our help we can help take their sites to the next level. For a fee, of course!
Thanks for the comments, everyone. If I have stumbled your site but haven't left a review, message me and I'll add you to my list.
Happy stumbling!
Well said! I am glad that you were ethical and made refunds -- I wonder how many webbies simply haven't bothered? Sphinned and stumbled!
Thanks, Eloi. Google is big but they are not definitely "it." There are ways to do business online without depending on one source.

Good advice. I just went back and discovered a typo on my most recently submitted article, something I missed after two earlier reviews. Catching mistakes before publishing sure beats looking foolish later on.
Ha! Thank you, Rob. Trouble is, some bloggers are merrily going along thinking that their blogs only have a cold when amputation of infected articles is necessary!
Justin -- Exactly! People who post stuff daily without the time to work on quality posts are actually hurting their blogs. Why not work on a once or twice weekly quality post and leave it at that?
Torka -- Glad you liked it! ;-)
Gee, can you imagine aspiring to be on the "no one else reads my blog" list? Not me!
Gamermk, They're holding out for the big bucks and they just may get it. Social communities are exerting a tremendous amount of power these days and buyers know it.
In our eyes the big price tag says "grossly overvalued" but down the road it may all be considered t to be a bargain.
Bwelford, that is correct. Privacy isn't easy to disguise and Yahoo! already has a lot of my important information. I'm much more bothered by not being able to link the accounts as I tried to do this three times and failed.
I weigh convenience as the higher of the two priorities.
Jill: It happened last Thursday or Friday. If you haven't signed out yet, you'll be okay until then. If you do sign out, you'll be asked to link your Yahoo! account with MBL or to create a new one.
Andy: Yes, in honor of my most recent birthday, I think a dinosaur is most appropriate!
I hear ya, SEOhack. I still can't retrieve my Yahoo! information any way. So, why bother with MBL?
Should we write "in" passion or write "with" passion? There is a difference and the imagination starts to go wild with the former.
I still use the Yellow Pages for some local search, but I also value input from my neighbors when selecting a vendor. For instance, our roofer did the roofs of neighbors' homes, so he'll be doing ours. The Yellow Pages had too much choice while Google and gang wasn't worth looking through.
Eventually, I see phone directories/yellow pages disappearing or becoming greatly scaled back. Much as newspapers have seen their peak days, so have catalogs, magazines, and other hard copy periodicals.
