How to find a SEO expert?
I was chatting with a colleague the other day when he found someone who claimed to be an SEO expert in LinkedIn. He was complaining about how that guy did not know jack about SEO and there are so many SEO quacks out there just ripping off their clients. Certainly, I have no arguments there as I totally agree that the SEO industry is just full of posers. However, the interesting thing is my colleague did find this so call poser through the web out of the millions of other SEO experts. So in a way, this poser already proved himself to be an expert.
So the next time you want to find a SEO expert, just Google “seo expert” and the one that comes up first is probably your guy.

Visualization Of Data
I’m sure Tufte would be all for this. Sometimes, we have so much data that it is just overwhelming. Generally, we do statistical analysis on data to get the underlying story behind it. But what about visualizing it. ManyEyes is a data visualization tool built by Martin Wattenberg at IBM that does just that. (Full disclaimer, I do know the creator.) It allows anyone to upload a dataset and use any number of their visualization tools to view the data. It is amazing how looking at data from a different angle can result in new discoveries.
