There are a few other categories I’ve been thinking about adding, though. I thought links on design and development would be appropriate. I’ve also thought of doing away with the Search Engine News section since I think most of what’s covered there is easy to find as it’s usually covered in many different places.

The Miscellany isn’t really miscellaneous. It’s just that most weeks I’ll break out a specific aspect of seo (link building most of the time) and then calling the section just SEO didn’t make sense to me. I do see your point, though and I’ll see if there’s a better solution.

Glad you like. These posts take a lot longer to put together than I originally thought and I’ve been tempted to drop the post, but the feedback has been good and I think people genuinely find them useful. I do want to make this a useful place for people to stop by and will instead look for a way that I can still put the post together, but do it a little quicker.

There are a few too many links for me personally, but on the other hand you need to cover everything and I’m sure there are others who want to know some of the things I couldn’t care less about.

The only thing I’d do is put the Miscellany category last. If it’s stuff that doesn’t fit, leave it until the end, and put all the big G/Yahoo!/MSN news first. That’s ’bout all I got to say ’bout that.

Good schtuff.

It had me go back and read the announcement that Jeeves was retiring. I could see launching this with him coming out of retirement – it sort of fits.

The categories really do help, and your comments and editorializing between links really helps to put them in perspective.

The rain isn’t quite that bad in Delaware, but I suspect that our weather patterns aren’t much different from what you experienced.

I could see Jeeves coming back in some way too and it would make sense if they launched the technologies in the patent while bringing back Jeeves. I didn’t think people had anything against Jeeves. He was certainly more well liked than Clippy.

I’m glad the categories and the commentary between helps. I know I’ve eun across some pages where the links are simply listed and it can be hard to find the few you want. Whenever I’ve seen someone categorize things it’s always helped me a lot.

That rain was just one summer. Long Island gets it’s share of bad weather, but it also gets it’s share of good weather too. That summer I was working in a Borders bookstore and my days off changed every week. I was just very unlucky and kept catching the rain on all my days off.

My bad on the Ask patent. I had read it early in the week and saw you mentioned it as something they might implement in the future and then completely forgot today. Chalk it up to being lazy at the end of the day on a Friday. I edited the post to correct things.

You know when I started these Friday roundup posts part of the rationale was thinking I could be lazy all day on a Friday and link to a few posts quick. It didn’t turn out that way. I appreciate the complements and I do hope I’ve created a resource people can come to to catch up on things they might have missed or simply to save some time reading during the week.

I thought breaking down the categories would make it easier for people to find stories they found interesting. I figure if people scan the post and the Titles for the posts linked to they could get a good feel for what’s going on and then pick and choose the stories they want to know more about. I keep thinking of new categories to add, but the links add up really fast. I usually collect about twice as many as I end up with here each week and I think including them all would be too much. I guess I end up with about 60 links each week, which is still quite a lot to go through.

I used to live back east. Born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island. I remember one summer every day off I had it rained. Maybe not every day off, but I bet it was about 90% of them. We do get some storms hanging over town here, but for the most part the weather is great. I did play softball on Wednesday night though, in 50+ mph wind gusts. Dust swirls were everywhere and at times it stung.

You’re definitely at the point where you have the most comprehensive weekly roundup of SEO news that I’ve seen (and I read a lot of blogs), and I’m at the point of knowing that I can come here on a Friday and find out whether I missed something important. So Kudos for that, and a double hi-five for good measure.

I also like how you’re breaking everything down into different categories, as well as how you fashion the recaps of the links that you present.

The ask patent I wrote about I don’t think is in effect yet, but I could possibly see it happening within the next year or two. It’s a nice innovation, and something that none of the other search engines have been discussing in any way.

Blue skies sound good. I’m listening to the rumbling of thundar right now. Might be a good weekend to settle in, and read a lot of links.
