"wow thats an impressive Google+ move for brands to adopt anything digital or social so fast... very interesting. This has to be driven by brands feeling that their search results will be effected if they dont have a Google+ page." - MediaTrust

"is this such a surprise when you see data like this http://ityb.it/UMoXct showing 33% of drivers text while driving or U.S. Department of Transportation Latest Faces of Distracted Driving Video http://ityb.it/cyhNN6 ?

"Taher good point. perhaps this drivers more use of long tail ppc keywords which would increase bids and $$$ to Google.. hmmm . i am all fro adding new dimensions that increase the quality vs the seo web 1.0 sites that game the engines to be in the top rankings. very curious to see how they deal with adding freshness quotient to their static seo content. i hope we dont se tons of social noise content from this factor." - MediaTrust

"good point John. the user is king and so is content. its going to be interesting to see how this changes the landscape for all those leadgen sites that have a very web 1.0 fixed seo strategy. they now ned to take many more factors into account such as freshness ( hopefully not fresh noise content vs fresh quality) as well as social relevance... it seems like this move forces long tail to have to buy more ppc to get traffic vs organic." - MediaTrust

"Rob how are you adjusting to the new landscape with your tools? very interested to know how small to mid sized good sites and brands adapt to compete in the new Google scape.." - MediaTrust

"Fred very interesting data and very relevant in how we gauge signal vs noise. there is far to much noise as evidenced by that report PeekYou that became know as "Follower Gate" when they analyzed Gingrich claims to have over 1 mill followers and in fact has less than 10% being real followers. we need more transparency in what these number really mean.... a very large percent of Twitter accounts are automated bots vs real humans http://blog.peekyou.com/follow..." - MediaTrust

"i could not agree more on this front. how much more privacy abuse can users take. Facebook has never respected users and constantly makes updates that effect everyone without and notification etc. consumers have to constantly keep changing their settings and app makers get kicked in the teeth none stop.  last week there was a new update and all of a sudden my wall is getting spammed endlessly with "your cute" apps etc. its getting to be beyond annoying. Zucks "i want to be the internet" is going to be his end. its just another walled garden like AOL, and the internet is about openness. not closed walled environments that abuse users..." - MediaTrust

"Tricia thank you for covering this very important topic. the affiliate Nexus tax is a very serious issue that is threatening the performance marketing industry. FYI the PMA Performance marketing Association which is the main organization representing the industry has just filed a law suit against the State of Illinois. I would like to connect you to Rebecca Madigan the managing director of the PMA. I think it will give you a very eye opening perspective on how big and issue, and potentially unconstitutional the Affiliate Nexus Tax is. Its threatening to wipe out more business than the tax that it generates. the problem is that State legislation has no idea what affiliate marketing is or how large it is as an industry. i know all to well from leading a panel with the head of the Colorado legislation who openly said " we had no idea how big affiliate marketing was in Colorado. we were just following NY State." Please DM me @MediaTrustpete if you would like more info or an intro to the..." - MediaTrust
