When accessing the internet, people use a search engine 91 percent of the time (equivalent to the percent accessing their email). Two thirds of those searchers use Google over any other search engine. What if you could make sure when a user types in a search query to Google, your site was at the top of the list? Well, with Google AdWords you can. The content on your site is always most important in terms of driving visitors to your site and increasing your web prominence.

My Twitter mentor the Recruiting Animal takes on Gary Vaynerchuk’s thesis that anyone can make it big in social media. Animal is one of the most verbally gifted people I know, so it was a delight to see him face off with Vaynerchuk who has made a fortune (presumably) with his wine library TV appearances. Marketing take-aways: Success with social media is hard work.

As I blogged previously , I've been at South by Southwest Interactive these past few days. For me, one of the most valuable sessions was " E.R. 2.0." The session featured a facilitated conversation about how hospitals and health care providers are using new media and social networking software to support their primary objectives — treatment, research, education and outreach, and patient-provider communication.

Reflections on community at SxSW. Andrew , Bill , and I just got back from the South by Southwest Interactive Festival , where we spent nearly a week drinking from the proverbial technology innovation firehose. We attended numerous panels, connected with colleagues and friends on nonprofit technology and social good, and had skillets of queso in between.

I've been attending the South by Southwest Interactive Festival (SxSW) these past few days. It's my first time, and it's a lot to take in. Everywhere you go, people are nose down in their laptops and phones: while in sessions, while walking down the halls, and while on the panels. Think of the geekiest person in your organization, and multiple them by over a 1,000.

We've written previously about the Obama Administration's Open Government Directive. Among other things, the Directive has led to a proliferation of innovative " ideas sites " across the federal agencies. Last week the White House issued a new memorandum titled " Guidance on the Use of Challenges and Prizes to Promote Open Government " (PDF) — a further step towards citizen engagement.

Here is Jim Stroud’s TruLondon interview of TwitterJobSearch director, Bill Fischer. Bill is using Amazon’s S3 cloud facility to suck in every Tweet on Twitter and analyze it for job-opening relevancy. S3 gives him the huge storage and internet bandwidth necessary at a reasonable price (he told me on the order of a couple thousand dollars a month). His said his software could semantically deconstruct even indirect job related Tweets like “Hey Joe, we have an opening in my department”, which when

Here in the Washington area, the much-beleaguered local transit agency, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (aka Metro) , has been running a sponsored message on the local NPR affiliate, WAMU. It goes something like, " announcing new buses, new routes, and a new corporate culture based on responsibility." Now I am not trying to pile onto Metro, as this is clearly copy that came out of their PR shop, but the last bit always makes me laugh.
