I've been telling people this for years. The keyword tag is a waste of space, and the description tag is only helpful for how you APPEAR on Google -- it has nothing to do with your ranking. - Mickey Mellen

"Video in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch..." - Mickey Mellen

"FTA: "the ability to embed a map isn't even there" I've been using it for a few weeks, and the map embed has been there the entire time. It's a bit quirky, but works for the most part." - Mickey Mellen

"It's not just to see what others are typing, but to collaborate in real-time. To see the changes that someone else is making to the same document is a very powerful tool to have. For example, a colleague and I have been using it a lot as we build client quotes and emails. We can work on bullet points of features and costs, work out how to phrase the e-mail to them, etc. It works wonderfully well for that kind of thing." - Mickey Mellen

"I'm quite sure they'll eventually just tie it to your Google account, just like they do for Calendar, Reader, Docs, etc. At that point, it's just a matter of how hard they promote it to their users." - Mickey Mellen

Sweet. Get 'em! - Mickey Mellen

I always wondered why this trick worked. Now I know! - Mickey Mellen

"Did any of you actually read the article? It was comparing the 3GS to the original iPhone. It's smaller and "sleeker" by any comparison." - Mickey Mellen

Nice! Care to share the scale of that? I'm curious about how much it helped in terms of raw numbers. - Mickey Mellen

Mickey - lol - I cut out the numbers to appear better than I am.... that peak is only 600 uniques [feeling quite pathetic right now!] - Scott Gould

"Good stuff. I already follow most of those ideas, but Texter was new to me. Very useful!" - Mickey Mellen

"640x480 video recording -- like the phone they just announced?" - Mickey Mellen

Cool! I'm not a huge fan of Yuuguu (though it works fairly well), so this could be great. - Mickey Mellen

Awesome. - Mickey Mellen

Very slick. They approve the blogs very quickly too -- most of mine in less than five minutes. - Mickey Mellen

I could add my gaming site to it I just don't know if it would yield any results. Then again, if it did with only 1 subscriber... It is 1 more subscriber. - Fred

Sometimes (rarely) it pays to be a windows user... - Mickey Mellen

Very impressive. - Mickey Mellen

I doubt I'll ever buy Microsoft Office again. I've used OO for a few years and it's great! Between this and Google Docs you can get more done and save a bunch of money. - Mickey Mellen

This has some serious potential. I LOVE Animoto, but I'm certainly going to give this one a shot. - Mickey Mellen

Awesome! Hopefully ping will clean up their interface a bit more ("which page is this going to?"), but this is good news for a lot of people. - Mickey Mellen

Great overview! I agree completely. - Mickey Mellen

Sweet! I was quite impressed with the beta, so we'll see what this one does. - Mickey Mellen

I grabbed the RC from MSDN about a week ago and it has been working better than the beta for me. - J Wynia

Nice! I was hoping they'd eventually do that. It looks much nicer. - Mickey Mellen

Sounds to me like it DOES help, but not very much. I have a link to the privacy policy in the footer of my site (every page). It took me about 20 seconds to edit the footer with nofollow on that link and re-upload. Based on this video, that was probably a wise thing to do. - Mickey Mellen

Rand from SEOMoz covers this in his latest whiteboard Friday - Claudia

Mickey, personally I would leave your privacy policy crawlable. It can be useful to have in the search results. If you notice on my blog, I rarely (never?) use nofollow to exclude links on my site from search engines. - Matt Cutts

Awesome - Mickey Mellen

I ordered mine! I'm not sure how useful they'll be, but they're free and kinda cool. - Mickey Mellen

This should be quite helpful in tweaking sites for maximum revenue. - Mickey Mellen

About time! Two-way communication through this stream will be great -- for example, we'll be able to leave comments on status updates without leaving TweetDeck. Awesome! - Mickey Mellen

Dropbox is awesome! If you're not using it, you should be. - Mickey Mellen

I've been using it for a while now...it's become indispensable! - Sean Carmody

Agreed, best transparent file sync repository I've seen in a while. - Ted Russ

Ooh, this could be pretty cool. - Mickey Mellen

Good enough to build an image Wiki around? - Leon Benjamin

Sweet! I've heard good things so far, so I'll give it a shot. - Mickey Mellen
