Well nothing crazy happened to me last Friday (phew),
hope you were left unaffected as well. Vanessa is still out, so I’m covering the
blog again. Disappointingly enough for Vanessa, the Lakers lost. She now owes
Matt, a fellow coworker, dinner. If you are in the Southern California area I
hope you are staying cool during these 100+ degree days. We are especially
appreciative of the PlumberSurplus.com
food program for providing ice cream sandwiches!
- If you live in California, new
cell phone laws go into effect July 1st. To make sure you are covered, I suggest
picking up a hands free device soon. I’ve heard great things about the BlueAnt Supertooth Light available at Amazon (assuming
they don’t go down
again). For a low cost solution, purchase a plug in corded hands free
device for your phone.
- Who else is getting
worried about eBay and their desire to force PayPal as the only eBay payment option?
- Having trouble finding which
social networking site your target demographic is on? RapLeaf (via Marketing Pilgrim) has some data which shows
where these folks prefer to hang out.
- In case you were not one of the
8+ million users who participated in the world record attempt by Mozilla called
“Download Day” and got FireFox 3, you can still get it at their site. I’ve
been using it all week and it does seem to provide a faster browsing experience
without any hacks.
- Looking for inspiration and
innovation for your ecommerce site? Jason Billingsley at Elastic Path had a
great webinar yesterday on Ecommerce Innovations. I can’t imagine implementing
Coastal Contact’s “Try before you buy” feature on some products (shall I even
mention toilets?) from our site…
- AdWords Quality Score is now influenced by page load
times. If you run SEM, spot check some of your keywords for every domain you
have ads for to ensure you have not been impacted by this change.
Now to all those I promised, its time for some
pictures from Internet Retailer!
