Move over, Goodyear Blimp. The Zeppelin Eureka’s moving in on aerial event coverage! I just got an email from the Airship Ventures, which operates the Eureka, saying that the zeppelin will be covering the Golden Globes.

My “Beware Of Dog” Don’t Spam Me Sign

December 21, 2009

I’m always surprised at the stupidity of people who link spam on my blog. Let’s see. I write about search. I’m somewhat savvy to what link spam is. I regularly talk with the head of Google’s web spam fighting team, Matt Cutts. You really want to be spamming my blog? Seriously? You’re an idiot, if [...]
