The new year has started. Time for a fresh look at the world! But also still a little bit of time to reflect back on 2011. There have been plenty of recap posts on 2011, and this infographic fits nicely into that line of posts. Looking back at the Tech Trends for 2011 we see group buying, tablets, the cloud and off course online video as top trends. And much more! (more…)
In December we have been doing something special on State of Search: we have had a series of guest posts feature on State of Search from several very interesting and very high profiled bloggers and industry celebrities.
The series of guest posts were all around one specific topic: integration. Since marketing these days is all about integrating different channels. We believe that integration is what its all about in 2012. So we decided to ask people to give us their different perspectives on integration. How does search match with social, how does paid match with search, and what about PR and conversion?
The result is a great series of which you can find the intro’s below. So you have a nice overview of what the integration series was all about. (more…)
There are many kind of reviews. This video by Jeremiah Warren is one which I found different and nice. It is 2011 seen through Twitter.

Google is testing a new format for ads, one in which it will become much more easy for advertisers to get people to subscribe to their e-mail lists. Tests show that Google might be putting a “Subscribe to newsletter” option in the paid results.

So 2011 is over and 2012 has started. Funny, last year only is a few days ago, but already seems far away. That’s what happens when you make a fresh start. The year in front of us looks tempting. We are looking at the future and seeing the possibilities.
State of Search is starting the New Year fresh too. We will off course be looking back at 2011 somewhat, but our focus is to ‘start fresh’ and look forward. We have many plans for 2012, and 2012 will have many plans for us. Let me take you into 2012 a little bit, both from a State of Search perspective as from an industry perspective. (more…)
If today you are counting down to 2012. The last 60 seconds you might be counting out loud. You probably do not realize how much can happen on the web in that amount of time. What do you think of 600 uploads to YouTube? 60+ New blogs, almost 700.000 search queries, and much more. This by Barry Ritholtz tells it all.
So when you are counting down, you might realize what is happening at that same moment. For us its Goodbye 2011 an Hello 2012.
A very HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you!

It is time to give our bloggers some attention, since they provide us with so much great content. Today we welcome a brand new blogger: Samantha Noble (more…)
