Citysearch Rebuilds Site with a More Social, Local and Mobile
Citysearch appears to be going for the jugular with its newly rebuilt site. While many sites add a little social here and a little mobile there, Citysearch is going for the three hottest trends all at once: Social, Local, Mobile.
"We rebuilt the Citysearch platform to give our users what they asked for -- a new site that drills down to the hyper-local level with content for specific neighborhoods," said Jay Herratti, CEO of Citysearch. "We also expanded our social and community tools by integrating Facebook Connect deeply into our site experience. Now users will be able to see their Facebook friends on Citysearch and share reviews and recommendations."
This is a completely smart strategy as the economy gets tighter. Expect to see these trends grow even hotter despite the Wall Street-Capitol Hill drama.
I can see all sorts of possibilities. People are relocating or working in a different part of town. The ability to check out new local restaurants, entertainment venues, etc via their mobile and connect with people socially will be powerful.
Here's what Citysearch is saying the new experience will be like:
-- More local -- Citysearch is expanding its local coverage from 140 local city guides to over 75,000 cities and neighborhoods nationwide. New geo- targeted search technology provides a truly local experience to users, allowing them to target businesses according to zip code. Citysearch also restores balance to local business coverage by providing content from three distinct voices: users, editors and merchants.
-- More social -- With Facebook Connect, users can log into Citysearch using their Facebook account, allowing them to discover new local businesses and share reviews with their friends online and providing a personal view of their neighborhood and favorite local spots. New social features also enable users to create profiles, more easily review businesses and infuse their opinions and unique local content into their social graph. Connectivity to more major social networks will follow in the coming months.
-- More mobile -- Mobile by Citysearch puts reviewing into the palm of the consumer's hand. Key features include an interface tailored to each individual mobile device -- optimizing content layout and keystrokes required to surface search results -- on-the-go reviews, and mobile menus.
-- More intuitive -- The new interface offers a streamlined registration process, easy review writing interface, new search refinement and navigation tools. Other new features include a follow-along map with integrated content that moves as the user scrolls down the page, making it easier for users to see everything they need in one place.

Is the Bad Economy Bringing Branding Back?
So, here at SES Chicago, I keep hearing about a marketing practice I thought was dead - BRANDING. After all, aren't conversions, ROI, data, analytics and landing page testing/optimization the name of the day?
Maybe not in a tough economy. With consumers buying less (save for Black Friday and Cyber Monday), brands who brand during the recession may be the ones to emerge on top when the good times roll back in.
Integration will be key to that branding. Advertisers are shifting their dollars from expensive traditional methods to the better deal that is online advertising. Of course, all that bidding is driving/will drive up prices.
But this might lead to better deals for offline channels, which can make that integrated marketing campaign bloom.
Whatever your strategy, do your best to stay visible during the recession. You might just be the first retailer consumers turn to when they go shopping again.

郵件伺服器 pop3 server 的log檔解說
Linux 是穩定的網頁設計郵件伺服器及架站系統，這一點從 google 在全世界佈署了數百萬台 Linux 主機就能看得出來 !
學習 Linux 不是一件容易的網頁設計事情，要了解分析運作的網頁設計LOG (記錄檔狀態) 更是高手一定要學會的網頁設計事 ! 但是在 InfoBOX 系統，提供了 UI 介面，把郵件收發的網頁設計記錄檔都使用 WEB 呈現出來了，就算不是高手，也能做高手做的網頁設計事!
SEO們就根據下圖，來了解一下 POP3 的網頁設計 LOG 檔，讓您了解公司員工使用 Outlook 之類的網頁設計 POP3 收信軟體，把信件從伺服器取至個人PC端的網頁設計完整過程：
1.POP3-login：使用者使用【POP3】的網頁設計方式登入收信 如果為【imap-login】表示，使用者使用【IMAP】或【Webmail】方式登入
2.user=admin：指登入的網頁設計使用者帳號名為 admin
3.rip=192.168.10.25：使用者電腦的網頁設計ip
4.lip=192.168.10.102：MailServer伺服器的網頁設計ip
5.共收走了5封信件，【message-id】代表各信件的網頁設計message-id，此為唯一值，每一封信的網頁設計id都不會重覆
6.retr=5/5680：收走了5封信，這5封信的網頁設計大小總共5680bytes
7.del=5/5：刪除5封信/總共5封信 使用者如果在伺服器保留郵件備份則記錄會變成【del=0/5】表示刪除0封信/總共5封信
這樣有沒有覺得一目了然! 日後若有使用者說 outlook 根本沒收到信的網頁設計時候，除了從「郵件記錄器」查詢之外，進階一點 ，還可以來查查 log ，上方的網頁設計空格可輸入 keyword 按 go 就可以搜尋符合相關文字的網頁設計 log 囉!

20% of Primetime Television Now Watched Online
Online video consumption has been on the rise for a while, and now Integrated Media Measurement Inc. (IMMI) is releasing demographic and behavioral data to show the details of the trend.
Yahoo had its third quarter earnings call yesterday and the news wasn't pretty. I'm not really sure how much the economy can really be blamed for how dismal the news was. Search advertising should be one of the last sectors within advertising as a whole to be affected by the economy.
Here's something else to consider: While companies are looking to streamline their operations in order to save costs, they often look to technology. Companies like Google who are investing in cloud computing or other technologies that create efficiencies are making the most of this unique opportunity and coming out ahead. They beat the street with their Q3 earnings. Apple had a good earnings call yesterday with their sales of laptops and iPhones.
So when you read the quote by Jerry Yang blaming the economy, don't be surprised if your eyes roll.
We already know that Yahoo is cutting 10% of its workforce. But many have been saying for a long time that the workforce was already bloated. I feel for the Yahoo's because it is maddening to work at a place where layoffs are imminent. Productivity goes down and everyone speculates whose job is safe and who needs a box for their things.
The press release with all the data points for the earnings is below. All the major news organizations are focused squarely on the 64% decline in net income. Click to read the rest of this post...
