The New Search Engine: Bing.

Recently all the rave on the Internet is about Bing. Bing recently launched and has attracted quite a crowed curious to see what it's all about. Everyone is asking can Bing overtake Google? Bing certainly won't overtake Google anytime soon-but in time anything is possible.

Bing's results are very different from Google's, and everyone is trying to figure out how to change that. Comparing the results it seems like the following:

Bing likes more authoritative websites-sites that have been around longer.

Backlinks don't matter as much as with Google.

Anchor text links matter more with Bing.

Inbound links matter more with Bing.

Overall, it is still too early to tell how exactly to optimize your site with Bing. It does seem though that the above statements are true. You have to analyze is your site worth optimizing for Bing with not as many people using it as some other heavyweight search engines, or should I wait it out.

Facebook Lite.

Recently some information surfaced regarding a "secret" project Facebook was working on entitled Facebook Lite. Apparently, someone at Facebook made a mistake of sending out e-mails to beta testers with links to the new platform. Within minute, the Facebook Lite platform link was removed.

The Facebook Lite platform is a scaled down version of Facebook and looks quite similar to Twitter. Facebook Lite contains a lot of features from Facebook, and was designed for faster loading times on slower computers. Once the platform is officially released, we expect to see people with limited computer skills using this more than the average user. Many people suggest Facebook has tried to "copy" the Twitter concept with the Facebook Lite platform. This in fact may be true since Facebook did try to purchase Twitter a while back. Time will tell how popular this "new" platform becomes, and how well it works for social media marketing.
