Wasn't able to contribute too much today to the search community today. I am sorry, I hope to be able to do more tomorrow, but I suspect with what is going on, tomorrow may be slow also. Thursday and Friday should be better and Monday I should be back in the groove.

So what happened in the world of search, in terms of what I personally covered?

Search Engine Roundtable Topics:

  1. Yahoo! Hires Database Expert for Social Search Development - very exciting news
  2. Ranking Effects of Switching To a New IP Address - practical stuff
  3. Microsoft adCenter Daily Stats Back To Normal - finally, hope it sticks.

Search Engine Watch Topics:

  1. Yahoo & Symantec To Offer "New Security Offerings" - turns out to be boring
  2. Yahoo Invests In Social Search Research - see above, again, huge fan

Ben and Kim Krause pitched in at the Roundtable today. Ben has an excellent expert commentary on a featured WebmasterWorld thread, he titled Does Your Domain Name Pass The "Billboard Test"? and also a post on the new Google Maps for Mobile Adds Traffic Information, which I hope to test out a bit. Kim plays football with DNS configurations in her post DNS Redirect, Alias, 301, CNAME and Football.

SEW blog rolls along with some really outstanding posts on Google Maps Mobile, an outstanding review by Jen on the new AdWords quality landing page factors, and a supposedly Abridged Version on the Google independent click fraud report.

Good stuff in general. Expect some great stuff tomorrow from Ben, Chris and possibly some guest authors. I hope to be able to post some items in the morning also.
