Pilgrim’s Picks for January 10

Thursday, January 10th, 2008 by Andy Beal

Just in case you’re having a slow day at work–and can’t bear to watch The View–here are some marketing news picks to keep you entertained.

Is YouTube preparing to offer live video streaming?
Newsgator has a deal for you. You can now use their RSS readers for free, so long as they can collect data from you.
You can now get The Weather Channel on your Google Map!
Mashable had better watch-out! Dosh Dosh might take their crown for providing “Top XX” lists. Here’s their list of 40+ social news sites.
Greg Jarboe explains the various reasons why you should attend SES London. Anyone that explains a conference’s value in terms of “whiskey and a bag of crisps” get’s my attention. I’m speaking on two panels at SES London, so see you there!
Lastly, if you need a laugh, check out the parody web site for Uber SEO Company–at least I think it’s a joke. Any bets they’ll switch to a real SEO firm, once they get all the links.

Thanks for the laugh Andy, great find. The thing is, a lot of the so-called SEO companies out there actually have such a “business model”

Uber SEO Company is one of the best and accurate spoofs of anything I’ve ever seen. Industry humour FTW.
