Here’s something perfect to go into the weekend: SEOktoberfest, the movie. An almost 18 minute video by Mike Rübesam about one of the major SEO events in Europe. It will give you an idea of what you are missing out on. One thing is sure: there are no SEO-conference videos with that many women in it…

On this Sunday it is nice to watch a video. And then why not one of the history of online media? Enjoy!
What is the future of search? Its a question which is being asked a lot. But what is the answer? At SES New York Jonathan Allen, editor in chief over at Searchenginewatch, with the help of Bob Tripathi, asked several experts about the future of search. You can see the video below. Be aware of the special role which Jon Myers plays in the video.
Google recently launched a new TV ad. The video almost seems to be a parody. Just see for yourself (warning, it goes on for 10 (!) minutes:

As every week we bring you news on State of Search, in a video and podcast! This week in episode ten we see YouTube being in the news multiple times, we see new Google products and Google products which couldn’t work together and we see Bing handing out money. (more…)
In Europe there has been a lot of debate about cookies. Because of privacy regulations it could be that some countries decide cookies are a “no go”. What that would mean for websites, search and social is almost indescribable. Even though we should all be aware of privacy matters, taking away the cookies probably is not the best way to go. But how to make those who don’t understand how things work understand the importance of cookies? Maybe this video from IAB UK can help.
Its a much debated topic these days: the future of Journalism. And its all to blame on the new media, with Google being ‘the big evil’. At PICNIC, a digital conference in Amsterdam, there was en entire track on the matter. Where is journalism going. And how do we fit into that. Keynote speaker was Jeff Jarvis, author of the book “What Would Google Do”. Find his keynote below. Perfect for a sunday afternoon

He may not look like one of the funniest people out there (or maybe he does?) but Eric Schmidt at least tries to be humorous. Even though that humor is not always spot on. A few months ago he stated that youngsters would or could be changing their names in the future to erase what they did on the web.
Two days ago Eric Schmidt appeared on the American TV show “The Colbert Report” from comedian Stephen Colbert. There they discussed in a light way some critical topics, like privacy. When Schmidts’ remark came up Schmidt simply said: “It was a joke, it just wasn’t very good”. Spot on Eric, it wasn’t. Still, you have to admire the man stepping up on to the plate again and again. Watch the interview below. (more…)
Jeff Jarvis wrote the book “What Would Google Do“. But in the process he never talked to anybody from Google. After the book was finished he did. He was invited by Google to give a talk at Google HQ. In the series “Authors @Google” Jarvis came to talk to Google employees. And because of YouTube we can see that too. Keep in mind though that it was early 2009 when he held this talk.
