We could argue until the cows came home as which 2 main elements of SEO were the core components. I’ll cut to the chase and ask you to consider content and links alone this time round. They are (arguably) the most important two variables present in the SEO diagram at this time. It makes sense[...]

Lisp & the Semantic Web

Unbiased comparison of HTC Hero and Apple iPhone 3GS
The phone or rather the mobile device as a whole is the future of the web in many ways. It’s important for us to be able to access all of our information more than ever. Why? Because we’ve linked it all together and put a lot of our eggs on the web. I still keep [...][...]
