Facebook announces Graph Search
So Facebook just announced something called Graph Search. See how Facebook describes it here: http://www.facebook.com/about/graphsearch Already there are tons of people weighing in on what it is, and if they like it. I say it’s too early to tell, but if you run a business and are online (and I hope you are) this will […]

Business can now create pages on Google+
I recently posted about the fall from grace of using the plus sign operator in Google searches (you have you use quotes now). I thought it had something to do with Google’s new social network (OK, not that new) called Google+. So this news of Google Now allows Business Pages on Google+ is not only […]
