 It seems that Twitter has come across the Holy Grail of advertising, and it&#8217;s coming soon. Today during his interview at the RealTime CrunchUp, Twitter COO Dick Costolo told the audience a bit about the company&#8217;s upcoming advertising business. Costolo was vague on the details, but he did make some promises: &#8220;It will be  ...

  One item in this morning's in box caused me to look twice - eMarketer, using numbers from Nielsen, stated that " Data on Twitter Decline Stacks Up ." Turns out it caught the eye of Jim Jansen at Penn State as well. After a quick and flurried Twit-Talk with my friend Jim, we both agreed the title's misleading.

 Before Sarah Palin's book, "Going Rogue," was released to the public, the Associated Press published a much-heralded fact check that detailed where her claims didn't line up with reality. It was possible in part because the AP snagged a copy of Palin's book early.

 One of the companies I’ve been following for a long time is Esty.com.  Esty.com is a website for folks selling craft items – or as they put it “Your place to buy &amp; sell all things handmade.”  More broadly, they are referred to in the startup world as P2P commerce (person-to-person) – similar to eBay or any other site that enables  ...

 This is the first in a series of posts that showcase things I&#8217;ve learned during my recent honeymoon travels. My new wife and I decided to go on a Caribbean cruise for our honeymoon, and with the help of the most knowledgeable traveler I know, we booked an amazing week-long cruise.

 We work hard to make sure that the videos on the GoogleDevelopers channel on Youtube are captioned, but when I/O added over a hundred hours of video content, we got a little behind. I'm happy to announce that we're finally caught up! Every English and Spanish video from I/O now has captions that you can turn on in YouTube.

 Buying someone else a phone is risky business. Preferences vary, you&#8217;ve gotta get their carrier right&#8230; it&#8217;s a tough game. But if you&#8217;re down to make a gamble, we&#8217;re here to help. I&#8217;ve spent more time playing with new phones in the last year than anyone should ever spend with any phone ever, and have broken down  ...

  Google's search and content networks are both great sources of profitable traffic, but they are very different from one another. And in the same way that you wouldn't want unrelated keywords grouped together in your account, you're going to want to keep search and content in their own distinct campaigns. But what is it that makes them so  ...

 Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the Wii-holder. The Charge Base IC is a $34.99 induction charging device for Wiimotes and looks like something out of a Frank Lloyd Wright sketchbook. The base sits firmly on the ground while sweeping cantilevered arms reach out to cradle your Wiimotes with magnets. It&#8217;s almost graceful, this amalgamation  ...

 So you appear to do everything right: you have a fair amount of unique content and you seem to update your site regularly and Google seems to often visit your site&#8230; but there appear to be much fewer links in Google&#8217;s index than there are actually on your site.

 Bounce rate is the metric that makes many marketers wake up in a cold sweat. Many Research Partners are consumed (dare I say haunted?) by this metric. I don&#8217;t want to water down the power of bounce rates. But as with most metrics, it isn&#8217;t as simple as following a rule of thumb like &#8220;keep the number of bounces low.&#8221;
