For the past few months, my friend Ryan has been managing a boutique in a nearby shopping center called Apricot Lane. I know 80-90% of the stores in this area are out of my price range and, because they are so expensive, their typical customers are more likely to be women in my mom’s age group. I assumed that Apricot Lane was another boutique with clothes for women older than myself.

I knew this was coming at some point, and perhaps we all knew that Google has been starting to crack down on local businesses who have their Google Maps listing using a UPS Store as their location. Now I have what I would call official notification from Google that this is not just a policy but something they’re starting to enforce: Google has rejected a new local business listing that has their address set up at a UPS Store.

Are searchers less interested in celebrity gossip than they used to be? According to Google Trends, yes. While doing some research I was surprised to see that search interest in the keyword phrase [celebrity gossip] peaked around 2009. Despite occasional spikes it has been declining ever since: By comparison [celebrity news] has been more consistent over the years but it has always trailed behind.

One of the most fascinating stories to come out in the news recently—at least to me—was that of the discovery of Richard III’s remains. Even if you didn’t pay attention to the story, you probably remember hearing about it; that his remains were found under what is now a parking lot. It caused quite a stir , not just among Ricardians, who are apparently represented by a few major societies (the Richard III Society is one), but among the populace at large.

I’ve been saying it for years, and I’ll keep saying it: we’d all be better off if we worried more about being social, and worried less about doing social media ( tweet this ). It’s nice to have a new example of this principle in practice. Justin Johnson is a candidate for City Council in Phoenix. He seeks to represent District 4, which is an enclave of historic and gentrified areas, replete with small, interesting businesses.

Guest post by Nellie Borrero. For International Women’s Day each year, two things happen. First, Accenture conducts global research on careers to gauge people’s feelings and expectations about work and life. Second, I tend to travel somewhere in the world to meet with our people and celebrate International Women’s Day with them. I love poring over the research as it gives us a glimpse into how people are feeling.

Common mistakes continue to repeat itself in this business which plagues entrepreneurs each year. The key is to seek guidance as well as to follow the standards that work.

Klout recently announced the addition of Instagram interaction and Bing searches to their algorithm. While I don’t take Klout scores as the be-all end-all of social value, it’s still a useful metrics tool when evaluating how much an individual or a brand engages with the rest of the world. I see that my Klout score did jump a bit when they made this change, though Bing is not showing up yet in my score.

Like many successful rock stars, Taylor purposely hunts down her most passionate fans, and creates amazing experiences for them.

Back in February 2013, we reviewed that online sellers are quick to think that in order to increase their sales, all that they need to do is to attract more people to their sites. While this is one part of the equation, it is not all of it. One industry that has a particularly big challenge in turning digital shoppers into digital buyers is the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPGs).

Ordinarily, I wouldn’t tell people not to buy SEO services. Your site will rank better in the search engines if you optimize it for the search engines, but don’t be fooled by unnecessary SEO services. There is one SEO service that is so completely unnecessary that it won’t help your site one bit. You’ll be throwing your money away.

Would you like this (or any) content less if a robot had written it? The media is filled with news items abut how robots and algorithms are taking the work away from real, kind and personable human beings. That is one train of thought (personally, I'm offering a different perspective over on my We, Robots blog, which looks at augmentation over automation of all things robotics, 3D printing, telepresence and more).

When having conversations on Twitter, did you know that the type of tweet you send can make all the difference to who sees it? An @reply ( this is when the message starts with another Tweeter’s user name ) is automatically seen by you, the recipient and anyone who is following you both. It doesn’t go into the newsfeed of ALL of your followers: “@Ange I’m good thanks.

Is there any true value in public speaking? It's a question that I get asked all of the time. Most entrepreneurs and marketers want to speak as a way to create a platform and put some thought leadership out into the world. They see the stage as an alluring space to have ones "name in lights." Lately, it seems like more and more people are selling themselves as a professional speaker as a way to make noise in a very crowded marketplace.
