Tomorrow (June 30th) is officially Social Media Day!
We celebrate Bike to Work Day, Go-Skate Day, Have a Coke Day, National Deviled Egg Day, Moldy Cheese Day, and Sneak some Zucchini ion your Neighbor’s Porch Night. Why would we not have a day in Celebration of Social Media? By the way, I did not make up any of those holidays; they are all the real deal.

For all you fledgling internet barons out there – your real estate is about to increase in value (and cost). Starting July 1, pricing on .NET and .COM extensions are increasing. Reasoning is hard to come buy. VeriSign, the organization who manages the registry for those extensions merely announced that prices are increasing (so get over it).

Mergers and acquisitions happen every day in every industry and rarely (ok, pretty much never) do I feel compelled to write about them. So what makes this one different? If you have ever attended a conference on search and/or social marketing, whether that is SMX, SES or PubCon, you’ve most likely seen the prime suspects strutting their stuff on stage. These are people to know in the search/social industry, and now they are joining forces to bring their collective knowledge together under one virtual roof. Chris Winfield of 10e20, Brent Csutoras of Brent Csutoras Inc, and the team from Search and Social have come together to create BlueGlass Interactive, an agency offering everything from Social Media and PR to Pay Per Click and SEO (much like another agency you may have heard of…ahem…Location3).

Unlike messy search engines that force you to spend time looking though pages of results for one piece of information, WhitePages may become your new solution. When I found out the online directory just announced its new version of WhitePages Business Search, I was immediately interested and wanted to know more. After all, features include people search, reverse phone and address lookup and a store locator, all of which are available for mobile.
~aguruleThe four most awesome Hootsuite updates
The Twitterverse no doubt woke up to great joy as the holidays have appeared to come early. Hootsuite, one of the best free social media management tools, has again raised the bar in their offering by releasing a killer update, all in HTML5. Here are what I view as the top four updates, and how they can be used.
