Damn, it was a tough weekend for Facebook on the publicity/blogosphere front. With Beacon blatantly selling out Facebook users’ privacy whether they’re logged in or not has nowhere else to go but controversial.
A platform built on community now making more aggressive efforts to monetize that community and not being honest about it smacks of downward spiral. But that’s just me. Here are thoughts from others you might be interested in:

Next week, I’ll be at PubCon in Vegas. Here’s how to find me.
- I get into town Tuesday afternoon. I’ll be on a 7 p.m. panel Tuesday night with other search engine reps from Yahoo!, Live, and Ask. Guy Kawasaki will be moderating.
- On Wednesday, I’ll be sitting in on sessions during the day. Google is hosting a Meet the Google Engineers reception from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. After that, I’m planning to head over to the Werewolf tournament to watch how well SEOs play that game.
- On Thursday morning, I’ll be doing a keynote question and answer session with Brett Tabke.
- On Friday, I’ll be hanging out for hours at the PubCon. My plane flies back Friday evening.
If you’re at PubCon, please walk up and introduce yourself — I’d love to meet you.

I’m off to Chicago, Illinois (my home state) this week to cover SES Chicago and will be posting session and event coverage here on Online Marketing Blog as the week progresses.
Attending conferences is a fantastic part of working for TopRank. Conferences are a learning opportunity like no other and help spark new ideas, approaches and tactics. I’m particularly excited about SES Chicago as it combines two things I absolutely love: Search Marketing & Chicago.

While I am not native to Chicago (regular readers are well aware that TopRank Online Marketing is native to one of the 50 toughest states in the union - Minnesota) - it is a far more local journey than my last two excursions, to SES San Jose and the Bulldog Reporter Media Relations Conference in DC.
My objective at SES Chicago next week will be to both cover sessions for the benefit of our valued readers here at Online Marketing Blog and to learn as much as is possible in a short week about topics such as universal search and marketing with social media - what are best practices, what are the most powerful tactics?
In my role as an Account Manager at TopRank, I am constantly striving to ensure content related to our clients and their campaigns are found by the right prospects, at the right time, for the right reasons. […]
