Two weeks ago, the news broke that one the most popular social media marketing (SMM) tools – Delicious – was on the chopping block. Last week, Delicious’s owner, Yahoo, announced it was looking to sell, not shut down, Delicious. And you may be asking why you should care.
To answer the “why,” Delicious is an effective tool for search engine optimization (SEO) and SMM. Every time someone bookmarks a Webpage using Delicious, that Webpage improves its ranking in Google. So businesses that focus on SEO will want Delicious to continue.
Whether Delicious will continue, and if so, in what form is still up in the air. Would Google be a buyer? There’s definitely a large user population that’s made itself heard during the past couple weeks. We’ll monitor Delicious developments and how they’ll affect SEO. To learn more about SEO and how it can impact your business, contact us.

Microsoft made some headlines recently with the news that it’s latest browser – Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) – will allow users to prevent some sites they designate from tracking their online behavior. Obviously, this move is a boon for consumers and a set back for advertisers. As this article points out, there’s a longer history to this IE9 feature.
Microsoft considered adding this feature to an earlier version of Internet Explorer. However, pressure from advertisers dissuaded them from doing so. Now with federal regulators criticizing the aggressive online tracking efforts by advertisers, Microsoft’s action points to a growing climate of anit-advertising sentiment.
Because Microsoft is offering the feature to other browsers, other popular browsers could implement it as well. As this doesn’t affect search engine optimization (SEO) or social media marketing (SMM), it may be better to adjust your online marketing budget to these activities rather than online ads. For more on SEO, SMM, and how they can benefit your business, contact us.

Adventure Web’s own Gina Ramsey spoke this week to approximately 250 sixth and seventh graders at Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women. Gina was invited to speak at the charter school on the topic of safety and security on the Internet.
“There are so many dangers online to young people especially young women,” Gina said. “There’s no escaping the Internet, but there’s a way to be online and still be safe.”
Gina warned the students about the dangers of bullying and need to be careful about what they post online. “Once it’s out there, it never goes away, so they need to be careful about what they put out there.”
The Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women is modeled on a similar school in East Harlem, NY, that focuses on student-centered learning, collaboration, and formative assessment. The college preparatory school, which currently serves sixth and seventh grades, will eventually grow to no more than 560 students in grades six-12.
For more on social media and Internet topics, contact us. We’re happy to talk to groups of any size or age and share our expertise with them.
