State of Search radioshow – episode 20: Bing’s missing chances, Google analytics bombing and more

A show this week where Bas and Roy touched different subjects of search and social. Roy’s brand new iPad was part of the discussion which went on to Bing issues: the Microsoft search engine is missing opportunities in Europe. Also questions from the chatroom, for example about what url to pick, were answered. Finally a flaw in Google Analytics was discussed, which gives those who have a bad karma the chance to ‘bomb’ someone they don’t like within Google Analytics.

The shownotes are below.
