A Little SEO Knowledge Can Be Dangerous

A Little SEO Knowledge Can Be Dangerous

A lot of website owners that were impacted by the Panda and Penguin updates, and many said they didn't even know why their sites were being penalized by one (or both) of the Google updates. Unfortunately, since Panda and Penguin are algorithmic penalties and not manual, there is no human Google employee site owners can appeal to. The search algorithm doesn't know what you intended to do with your SEO, it can only count what you did and rank your website accordingly.
Since the updates went live, I've spoken with a lot of site owners that had tried to manage their own SEO, usually because they couldn't afford to outsource it. While many of them had a little bit of SEO knowledge, it's the gaps in that knowledge that leads to a search engine penalty. When it comes to SEO, if you don't know the whole picture you might be missing the most important part.
Here are 3 pieces of SEO knowledge that can land your site in hot water if you don't know the whole story:

I Need Lots Of Links To Be Successful

Links are how the search engines decide if a website is important. If I want my SEO to do well then I need to build as many links as possible.
Links are really the bread and butter of SEO, but because they are so important they are often abused by site owners, sometimes without them knowing. Yes, the more links your website has directed towards it the more likely it is to be trusted and rank well in the search engines, but only if they are the right kind of links. More is not always better! Here is a short list of links that could actually hurt your SEO, rather than help it:

• Links on unrelated websites
• Link exchanges
• Hidden Links
• Links on pornography or gambling websites
• Links that use too much exact-match anchor text

This is by no means an exhaustive list of the kind of links that you want to avoid building, but so many site owners get too focused on building as many links as quickly as they can; they stop looking for the quality links (which might be harder to get) and go for the easy win. In SEO, sometimes the easy win now will come back to haunt you when the search engines catch up.
Link building needs to be slow and diversified and, above all else, natural! Building too many links too quickly will catch the attention of the search engines (and not in the way you were hoping). You never want the search engines to think you are trying to trick the algorithm, even if you don't mean any harm. Slow and steady is the way to go when it comes to SEO link building. Make sure every link is worth it!

More Content Is Better

Everyone says that content is King, so I need to add a couple dozen pages to my site and write 2 blog posts a day in order to do well in the search engines.
You aren't 100% wrong if you think that more content can help your SEO"it can. But more content should really be more quality content. Creating a dozen new pages on your website so you can target 30 new keywords is only worthwhile if those new pages are well-written, useful to the reader and provide real value to your site. Creating thin content just so you can squeeze a few more keywords in will probably trip the dreaded Panda update that was designed to target sites doing just that. In my opinion, its better to consolidate that thin content into one high-quality page than have three pages that don't really say much (or say the same thing).
And yes, individual blog posts can rank in the search engines, helping increase your overall online brand presence and drive traffic to your site, but those posts need to be written to inform and educate your target audience, not just to rank. You want to write them with SEO in mind, but never at the expense of the user experience. Remember, content should always be written for the user, never the search engines. After all, the search engines aren't the ones who'll become your customers.

Keywords Are Very Important

Keywords are how the search engines know what searches to pull my website for. If I want to reach the most potential visitors I need to target keywords with the biggest search volume. This will help my site get more traffic and grow my business.
While keywords are incredibly important, arguably the foundation of your SEO program, its not the search volume you should be looking at when choosing which keywords to target. Its more important to target the right keywords based on the content on your site AND user intent. The keywords with the highest search volume tend to be broad (insurance, mortgage, IT), which means that someone searching using that keyword could be looking for a number of things. Are they looking for car, health, medical, or life insurance? Do they need a new mortgage, want to refinance or want to compare rates at different banks? Does someone need IT consulting, want to hire an IT director, take an online class about information technology? Which audience does your site target? Does getting more traffic mean anything if its the wrong kind? A farm where you can pick your own apples might target apple on their site, but does an influx of visitors looking to buy an iPad do them any good? Not really.
The broader a keyword is the more competition there is for it, meaning its much harder to do well for those search terms. Big name insurance companies like Allstate or State Farm probably have insurance under lock and key. A local insurance agent doesn't really stand a chance going after such a broad keyword, but they could probably do very well for a localized version like Boston insurance agency. Not only is that keyword less competitive, it goes after their real target market.

How to Setup "rel=author" So That You Appear In Google's Search Results

How to Setup "rel=author" So That You Appear In Google's Search Results

Google's Authorship markup and the rel=author tag has really taken off since introduced almost a year ago. Many authors have linked their content to their Google Profile and the trend is growing quickly. The example below shows the author's profile picture linked to the page or post. It really makes them stand out and adds credibility. Go to Google search and type in "what is rel=author?" The search results bring up many of the experts who have written posts or articles about rel=author with their head shot pictures. Do you want to appear in the search results like they do? Well you can if rel=author is setup correctly. This post provides instructions on how you can setup rel=author for yourself and others at your business using Google+ and WordPress. 

Steps to take in setting up your rel=author profile in Google+

You need to have a Google+ account so that you can link your profile to your WordPress website or any other websites that you author a post or article on. Go to Google+ and create your account. If you already have a Google account, login and create a Google+ account.

Google+ Profile page

Once you have created your Google+ page, click on "Profile" and "Edit profile". Fill in the information to build your profile page. Most importantly- add a nice "head shot" photo of yourself. This will be the photo used when your blog posts or articles appear in Google's search results. There are many great blog posts on building your Google+ profile. Go to Google and search for them. For this post, we want to concentrate on rel=author setup.

Adding Contributor links to your Google+ profile

In your Google+ Profile at the bottom of the page you will see "Contributor to". This is a great feature. Add your website first and any other websites or blogs you write articles for. For example, elSue quest posts on Search Engine People. We did the following so that those posts will show up in the search results with the Author profile. All you need to do is:
1. Click on "Contributor to" and the box will open up
2. Add the title of the website or blogsite
3. Add the link to the page. Be sure it is formatted with the http://www. (see example below)
4. Save and repeat byclicking on "Add custom link"

Note: Guest posters and Contributors on Search Engine People get an author box and a dedicated author page on the site. Pretty cool!

WordPress and the Yoast plugin

A business can decide whether it should be the CEO/Owner or the people who write the articles to show up in the search results. We are using Genesis and the Yoast WordPress plugin. Yoast handles rel=author and makes it so you can attribute the home page to one author – it also does rel=author for individual authors.
For example, there are the two of us at elSue who write blog posts. We each have our rel=author links setup with our Google+ Profiles. We can select one of us to represent elSue for the home page – while we still get credit for our individual blog posts. To add User Profiles using WordPress and the Yoast Plugin, do the following:

• Go to the WordPress Dashboard
• Under "Appearance" click on "Users" and "All Users"
• Click on "Add New" and add your profile and any other people at your business who you want to have a user author profile.
• Click on "Edit" to open the profile page
• Add your Google+ profile link into the Google+ field

The Google+ Profile link is at the top of your profile page in the Google+ browser.

Fill in all of the profile information – add your website, and SEO information such as Title to use for Author page and and Meta Decription, which can help with your Google rankings. I'll do mine later. For this test, I added my Google+ link only.

Google's Rich Snippets Testing Tool

Google's Rich Snippets testing tool will tell you if it worked or not. Go to Google Webmaster Tools and enter your web page URL and preview.

Yeah! It Worked. After you finish and your test results are good, go and do some searches to see if your author photo and profile show in Google's searches. It may take a while to for you to show up in Google's search results – be patient – as I will try to be!

Google's Basic rel=author information

Not everyone has found Google's basic instructions called "Author information in search results" on WebMaster Tools that helpful. I read some good blogs, asked my Partner Ellen, who is more of an expert on topics like this, and found a couple of excellent videos on YouTube such as "How to Display Author Profile Picture in Google Search Results".
Please let us know if you have any tips or suggestions on the process. Google is constantly changing how things are done and we try our best to keep on top of their changes. Comments from the experts are always welcome!

How to Get Listed in Siri

How to Get Listed in Siri

 

 

Mobile isn't the future, it is the right now, and making sure your business can be found by Siri is mission critical.
1. Siri gets data from Yelp, so make sure you have a complete listing: Get a Yelp Business Listing
2. TripAdvisor is another source for Siri: Get a business listing on TripAdvisor
3. Siri pulls data from over 60 sources, submit your listing to Localeze. You will need to pay for your localeze listing, but it will save you hours of time submitting to each directory individually. I would however, take the time to list yourself in Google Places and claim your listing with Bing.
4. Optimize your website for long tail keywords. Give people an opportunity to chat and they can become quite verbose. People use all kinds of combinations of words, it is a best practice whether people are searching via Siri or their desktops.

SEO Doesn't Fit Into a Box, But Does Need To Be Contained

SEO Doesn't Fit Into a Box, But Does Need To Be Contained

SEO - at least good SEO - doesn't fit nicely into a box. It can't come prepackaged, predetermined or wrapped nicely with a cute little bow. SEO can barely be predicted! It can't ever be guaranteed*, and it isn't a magical way to reach the next billion dollar IPO.
(*Technically you can guarantee a certain result, but those who do typically offer enough small print to make any such guarantee basically useless.)
Put simply, SEO is fluid. It needs room to maneuver, to expand, to contract, to change based on the particular needs of any given time. Which means, putting an SEO into a box can be quite messy, but some form of containment is a good thing.

SEO Is All Over the Place

One of the things that makes SEO frustrating is that it's very difficult to put a hard price on it. So many potential clients I talk to find this a major sticking point of moving forward with a new SEO provider. They talk to ten SEO companies and get ten different pricing options with ten different scopes of work.Getting a quote for SEO can sometimes be like getting a quote to get someone to mow your lawn. Sounds simple, right? But as soon as quotes start pouring in, you realize how many options there are. One person gives you a quote for mowing the lawn, another gives you a quote for mowing and trimming around trees. Someone else adds in weeding your flower bed, and a fourth includes lawn fertilizer, rodent control or any combination of these options.
The question then becomes: do you need all these services? Or are you fine with just the lawn mowing, sans fixing the rest of the problems found with your yard?
In SEO, you have to know if the cheapest option is really going to give you what you want. Not only do you have to consider how well it works, but how quickly. A smaller investment may get you rolling, but it might take you a while to reach your destination. The problem is that SEO is a race, not a journey. You can take as long as you want to get around the race course, but in doing so you've already been lapped twice by a competitor who's investing more aggressively.
To really see the value in any SEO package, it really comes down to results. Lower cost equals lower results. That's not to say all expensive SEO is valuable, but cheap SEO almost never is.

SEO Can Be Contained

Since every SEO company configures their services differently, it's not easy to compare one with another. But it can be done. All SEO revolves around a few basic components:

• Keyword Research


• Site Architecture


• On-page Optimization


• Link Building

These four components are essential to SEO success. Some SEO packages may include only two or three of these, but you have to understand that without all four, you'll be missing a key component of your success. That's not to say there isn't value in any of these as a singular service, but until you have all four, you're just building a marketing campaign, not actually running it on the course.
These four pillars of SEO are the containment that provides you the ability to measure one SEO quote against another. First, you must establish which of these are a component in the quote(s) you're looking at. That's your starting point. If one of these is missing from your SEO quote, then you have to judge its value accordingly. Don't throw it out, just know what it is you're getting into and what the cost (both in terms of money and results) will be.

SEO Must Remain Fluid

It's impossible to get a straight answer when you ask, "How much does SEO cost?" There are just too many variables. Too often SEO companies like to create one-size fits all packages, and, frankly, that just doesn't work.
Every website is unique and requires a unique approach. The four pillars above are a great foundation, but how you work within each of those pillars changes based on site, time and circumstances.
Not only are the SEO needs different for every site, they also might be different six months after you start. And that's where you really have to let SEO be fluid. You may need one thing early in an SEO campaign, but later realize that a shift is required. SEOs that operate with SEO-in-a-box aren't too good at shifting from one focus to the next.
Keeping SEO fluid is essential for a successful SEO campaign. But fluidity has its limits. If you use the basic structure of a solid SEO campaign, there is a lot of room to maneuver around based on particular wants and needs. Without that structure, there is no containment and the SEO will likely not be as successful as you like.
By keeping the basic structure in mind, you're better able to compare SEO services, being sure that you're getting (or delivering) what matters while being flexible enough to adapt to whatever needs arise to keep your campaign successful.

Getting SEO into the Rest of Your Marketing

Getting SEO into the Rest of Your Marketing

In a perfect world, SEO would be seamlessly integrated into the rest of your marketing efforts. Everything you do to market your business, both online and offline, can be leveraged for SEO in some way. However, it can sometimes be tricky to "SEO-ify" your other marketing efforts when you aren't used to integrating SEO into everything you do. It can get more complicated when you start pulling in multiple people (when you move from a one-man marketing team to a whole department) and ask them to re-optimize their work for SEO. While you're not trying to step on anyone's toes, it's important that your SEO efforts stay consistent across the board and in every facet of your marketing. It's not nearly as complicated as you might think; it just takes a little refocusing.
Here are some ways you can get SEO into the rest of your marketing efforts:
PR
In my experience, traditional PR people seem to be the most hesitant about incorporating SEO into their day-to-day work. As I said, you're not trying to step on anyone's toes or tell them how to do their job, but online press releases are too valuable for your link building efforts to let them skate by without being optimized for SEO! Optimizing an online press release for SEO isn't nearly as complicated as you may think--there is no need to rewrite, just tweak! Just like you want to naturally optimize a blog post to target a certain keyword you want to treat your online PR the same way. Incorporate your most important keyword into the headline of your press release and add it naturally throughout the body of the press release as well. A good rule of thumb is one link per one hundred words, and it's good to get a mix of full URLs (http://www.anexamplewebsite.com) and various anchor text links in the body and the boiler plate. One way to help vary up the links in your press releases is to create multiple versions of your company boilerplate and rotate them through each press release. This is especially helpful if you have a larger site and a targeting a wide variety of keywords. Each keyword, both long-tail and broad, need to get some attention from your link building if you want your site to do well for them.
Tradeshow Marketing
Tradeshows can actually be a big help to your SEO, provided you take the time to leverage them the right way. First off, make sure you get a link on the tradeshow website as one of the attending vendors. You might be able to get a few more links if your company is a sponsor or media partner. Also check to see if the tradeshow allows vendors to submit content to the show's blog. You want to make your booth stand out to attendees before the doors even open! Having a banner ad on the site or a blog post will help introduce your brand and connect with attendees sooner than other vendors. Prior to the tradeshow, send out an optimized press release or a promotional blog post so your customers can know to look for you there. During the tradeshow, take videos and photos of your booth, interactions with attendees and other fun activities your company partakes in. You can share those directly to your social profiles (as well as live updates during the tradeshow!) and use in a recap blog post when you get back from the tradeshow!
Local Events
Let's say you own a local pizza shop. How is an offline community event like a school fundraiser supposed to help your SEO? First off, see if the school is sending out any emails to their students and families about the event and ask to be included as a sponsor with a link back (people can check out your menu beforehand!) or get listed on the school website as a local partner. The fundraiser might get some local news coverage, and getting quoted in a news story is a great and trusted link source! Invite attendees to upload their photos from the event to your company Facebook page (maybe offer an incentive like 15% off their next pizza) or signup for your company e-newsletter. You could also ask people to rate your pizza joint on sites like Yelp or Google after trying your pizza!
Obviously marketing is a lot more than online PR, tradeshows and local events, but these are just three simple scenarios to show how SEO can and SHOULD be incorporated into all your marketing efforts. It doesn't take much to make everything you do "SEO friendly" but the long term benefits are well worth the extra effort.

What breaks WP Super Cache

What breaks WP Super Cache

Disclaimer: This blog post is not meant to be timeless, meaning it will lose its relevancy as soon as the stuff I’ll mention below gets updated. I will do my best to keep up with the updates, and delete this blog post as soon as it becomes irrelevant.

I’ve recently noticed my WordPress blog (latest version) caching functionality was broken due to the error:

The pages do not match! Timestamps differ or were not found!

This would make my blog not cache at all.
I then started on a “Google mission” to see if I could find reasons to why this was happening. As far as I could see many people were having this same error and it seemed to have started inexplicably.
I found some people were reporting that the error started to happen after they’d installed JavaScript minifying plugins.
I do have one of those plugins, but after disabling it, my cache still wasn’t working. However, this convinced me the problem could be related to some other plugin I had installed.
I decided to go on and disable every single plugin in my blog, except for WP Super Cache. I then confirmed this was the problem, as my caching started to work again.
There were 20 plugins installed, and I decided to activate all the ones that’s were less likely to cause a conflict; such as administrative tools, email management and form processing.
That left me with about 10 plugins to investigate.
I started to enable one by one, and found that what was causing my cache to fail, was an advertising plugin I had, that I used to display textlinkads.
More precisely, TextLinkAds on versions 3.9.7 and 3.9.8. It was then easy to find a post reporting this exact same problem. The only way around it is disabling the plugin. In my case, it was a no-brainer choice between giving my blog a massive performance boost, or making a few bucks showing sponsored ads, but I guess you’ll have to make a call on that yourself.
Like I said, I presume the authors of TextLinkAds will fix this incompatibility soon, and I’ll remove this blog post as soon as they do so. In the meantime, I think it’s worth having it here so other people can benefit from it.

Finite image slider

Finite image slider

Reading time: 4 – 6 minutes
I’ve been asked to come up with an image slider prototype for something new we were doing at work.
I would generally just find a suitable sliding jQuery plug-in and get the developers to use it. However, this time, there were two very peculiar requirements necessary for this slider (hence why I was asked to prototype it)

1. The image slider should only display the next and previous arrow when there was something to display. It should hide the arrows if it didn’t have a next or a previous item to display.
2. Ordinarily image sliders are infinite, which means you can keep clicking next forever, and it will always loop through the images. This alone negates the requirement above, since you always have a previous and a next image. So I had to somehow limit the image slider to only go up to the last image when clicking forward, and stop at the first image when rewinding.

I looked at a few options for this, but most of the image sliders out there seem to not allow you to have full control over the display of the arrows, or to make it stop when it reaches the last images. Also, most of them seem to only open up in a light boxes, which makes it less ideal when you don’t want to distract your users off the main objective of the website (don’t get me wrong though, light boxes are cool, but they have their time and place).
I then came across to Nivo Slider(http://nivo.dev7studios.com/), which claims to be the “The world’s most awesome jQuery & WordPress Image Slider”. I can’t really comment on that statement, but I can tell you they’re pretty good, and have lots of different options for you to use in your image sliders, as well as allowing various transitions between each slide.
Implementing it was very straightforward, as all you need to do is import their css, chose a css theme and the plug-in itself (I’ll assume you already have jQuery installed)
My code then ended up looking like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="theme/default.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<link rel="stylesheet" href="theme/nivo-slider.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js"></script>



<div class="slider-wrapper theme-default">

    <div id="slider" class="nivoSlider">

        <img src="images/image_1.jpg" alt="" title=""  />

        <img src="images/image_2.jpg" alt="" title=""  />

        <img src="images/image_3.jpg" alt="" title=""  />

        <img src="images/image_4.jpg" alt="" title=""  />

        <img src="images/image_5.jpg" alt="" title=""  />

    </div>

</div>



<script type="text/javascript">

$(window).load(function() {

    $('#slider').nivoSlider({

		directionNavHide: true,

		manualAdvance: true,

		directionNav: true,

		controlNav: false

    })

});

</script>

view rawfile1.jsThis Gist is brought to you using Simple Gist Embed.

The code above will pretty much get you going, and your images should now load nicely on the screen, and you should be able to slide through them.
However, when you do it, you will notice none of the requirements mentioned above have been fulfilled, since you ended up with an image slider.
To get the arrows to show and hide dynamically, I did a bit of research and found  someone doing that exact same thing. So it was just a matter of adding that to my code, and attaching it to the “afterChange” event, which will get called every time you click through any of the arrows.

<script>

	function arrowsCtrl () {

		var SlideNo = jQuery('#slider').data('nivo:vars').currentSlide;

		var TotalSlidesNo = jQuery('#slider').data('nivo:vars').totalSlides;



		if (SlideNo==TotalSlidesNo-1) {jQuery('#slider .nivo-nextNav').hide();jQuery('#slider').data('nivoslider').stop();};

		if (SlideNo==TotalSlidesNo-2) {jQuery('#slider .nivo-nextNav').show();jQuery('#slider').data('nivoslider').start();};

		if (SlideNo==1) jQuery('#slider .nivo-prevNav').show();

		if (SlideNo==0) jQuery('#slider .nivo-prevNav').hide();

	};

T-Mobile Galaxy S II update brings Isis support to battle Google Wallet

T-Mobile Galaxy S II update brings Isis support to battle Google Wallet

 

 

There hasn’t been much talk about Isis lately. The Google Wallet competitor made up of many partners including T-Mobile, Verizon, and other carriers that want to do things their own way. Today T-Mobile and Samsung have issued an update for their Galaxy S II smartphone that makes the device the first Isis-ready smartphone.


The update is a rather small one from T-Mobile and is only available using Samsung Kies software to update, not over the air. Is it just me or are some getting fed up with Samsung not allowing simple over the air wireless updates. In order to accept the new update users will be required to be running the latest official update to Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich for the T-Mo Galaxy S II.
The update changelog is extremely small and doesn’t bring anything too exciting — except Isis. We have the usual bug fixes and performance enhancements, but that is all. Then you’ll notice Isis/NFC update. This is making the device the first Isis ready smartphone to try the new mobile payment solution to take on Google Wallet.
We’re not sure if the update actually brings Isis to the device as a pre-installed app, or just makes it ready for usage. Either way be sure and get the latest Samsung Kies, update the device, and give it a try. Personally I’ve been a fan of Google Wallet since the beginning, but more competition usually works out best for us consumers. Let us know how the update goes in the comments below. More details can be found at the T-Mobile support page.

Apple seeking to ban 8 different Samsung devices

Apple seeking to ban 8 different Samsung devices

Late last week, the jury deciding the patent suit between Apple and Samsung delivered their verdict, and as many of you already know, things didn’t work out so well for ol’ Sammy. Now that the trial is over, Samsung and Apple have the opportunity to file post-trial motions. Obviously, Apple wants a number of Samsung devices banned from sale following the jury’s verdict, and today it delivered a list of 8 devices its looking to secure a ban on.

Apple is trying to ban the Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S II from AT&T, Galaxy S II Skyrocket, Galaxy S II from T-Mobile, Galaxy S II Epic 4G, Galaxy S Showcase, Droid Charge and Galaxy Prevail from sale in the United States. After seeing that list, there’s no doubt that Apple wants to hit Samsung hard, as that covers all of the Galaxy S II models available in the United States. Even though the Galaxy S III has been available for a few months now, the Galaxy S II is still a big Samsung seller, so this list isn’t only comprised of smartphones that aren’t pulling in any new sales.
Samsung will be fighting this motion to ban its devices in a response it’s required to file by September 12. Will Samsung’s efforts to stop a ban go anywhere? That’s difficult to say, especially after the jury found that all of those devices were infringing on Apple patents. The two technology giants are scheduled to be back in front of Judge Koh on September 20 for a hearing about the proposed ban, but that may change if Koh decides to give Samsung more time to prepare for the hearing.
Samsung is going to have its work cut out for it if the company wants to fight these bans. If such bans are ordered, don’t expect Samsung to just sit back and take it, as the company will definitely be appealing the verdict, going up as high as the Supreme Court if it has to. Even though the trial has been decided and Apple declared the winner, the fight between the two companies is still a long way from being finished.

Samsung Galaxy Player 5.8 announced – and it’s massiv

Samsung Galaxy Player 5.8 announced – and it’s massive

Samsung is back today with their latest Galaxy Player announcement. This time around they’ve just unleashed details on their biggest media player yet, and I just feel like calling it a tablet. Samsung’s iPod-rivaling Galaxy Player just got an upgrade to a massive 5.8-inch display so lets take a look.


Hopefully this doesn’t have the bounce-back feature that Apple loves — just kidding. Honestly I love the design and it looks very similar to the popular Galaxy S III, yet has the front facing speakers that we loved on the Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. This gigantic 5.8-inch media player is surely running Android and I want one already.
The Galaxy Player 5.8 consists of a qHD 540 x 960 (sadly no HD) display, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Sammy’s TouchWiz UX interface changes, 16 or 32GB storage options along with the Samsung Music Hub, and a massive 2,500 mAh battery will keep it blasting music for days and days. No mention of the processor under the hood. Then as usual we have WiFi, GPS, and the entire device measures in at 165.8 x 85.9 x 10.8 mm and 221g.

Again, this is another case of hit every size market as humanly possible and see what sticks. They’ve got multiple players in the 3, 4, and now 5-inch size, as well as multiple 7, 7.7, 8.9, and 10-inch tablets. Things are getting a bit crazy in Samsung land but I’m personally really liking the idea of a larger than usual media player that is far more portable than a tablet.
No pricing or exact details were released from Samsung but we can expect the media player to go on sale starting in September. We’ll be seeing it at IFA this week so stay tuned if this huge device interests you.

Google makes a brief statement regarding Apple v Samsung trial

Google makes a brief statement regarding Apple v Samsung trial

Up until today Google has been rather silent regarding the Apple vs Samsung lawsuit that many are calling AppSung. After the jury ruled completely and utterly in favor of Apple claiming Samsung infringed on multiple patents — and requested over 1 billion in damages Google has finally chimed in with a comment.


Just like the jury’s deliberation, Google’s response is short and sweet — and that is all we get for now. While there will obviously be tons more to this story (sadly) over the next few weeks and months, today Google mentioned that they aren’t too worried about the results. Here’s what the old Goog had to say:

“The court of appeals will review both infringement and the validity of the patent claims. Most of these don’t relate to the core Android operating system, and several are being re-examined by the U.S. Patent Office. The mobile industry is moving fast and all players — including newcomers — are building upon ideas that have been around for decades. We work with our partners to give consumers innovative and affordable products, and we don’t want anything to limit that.”

They do briefly mention that many of the “ideas” have been around for decades, and we totally agree but don’t get us started. Based on comments from AllThingsD Google doesn’t sound too concerned, but then they did just pick up a huge patent portfolio with their acquisition of Motorola Mobility.
To be honest however, as much as Google gained from the Moto acquisition this has to be somewhat unsettling for Google and their partners. While Samsung does have a chance at many appeals (or more) this mess is still far from over regarding Samsung, and the many other OEMs. AllThingsD seems to think Apple will be headed for Google directly next. All I have to say about that is — notification pull-down bar!

LG Intuition press photos leak – Reveal September 15 release date

LG Intuition press photos leak – Reveal September 15 release date

An upcoming smartphone for Verizon Wireless, the LG Intuition (formerly known as the Optimus Vu) is still a rather large phablet device, but now we have some official photos. LG released their Optimus Vu earlier this year internationally and we’ve seen countless leaks this month confirming a Verizon launch. Now today we are getting our first press shot.


Previously we heard the Optimus Vu would launch during quarter 3, then we saw some leaked photos confirming it was headed to Verizon. Then last wee we got our biggest set of details with an official screenshot confirming the device will be called the LG Intuition on Verizon with 4G LTE for only $199.
Basically it is still the same huge device only with Verizon branding all over it. You’ll still have the same 5-inch 4:3 aspect ratio display, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and of course that included stylus for pen input. We’ve had our hands on this phone more than once (linked below) and can confirm it’s huge, and feels awkward to hold.
This was birthed after seeing the success of Samsung’s Galaxy Note, and now they are set to release theNote 2 this week we have a feeling LG is a little late to the party. Since the Galaxy Note never made it to Verizon this will have to fill the void, unless of course the Note 2 launches for Big Red. As usual we get excited seeing a date on the press photos “date/weather” widget, and here we have September 15th. We could see this launch on Verizon come the 15th for $199.
