Google's changing its search algorithm to punish sites that emphasize search-engine optimization over quality. Mountain View's data centers will exclude sites that offer no useful content, have articles written in keyword-sprinkled gibberish or only link to sites within a cluster. If the computers find it, the site's pagerank will be demoted, with the company expecting to affect around three percent of all English language queries when it goes live later this week. The company isn't providing more details (lest it help those trying to game the system), so just get all of those gratuitous Justin Bieber references out of your system before Friday, okay?
Sprint Nextel has just deployed its Q1 2012 financials and it's a bit of a mixed bag, with a five percent net revenue growth over this time last year and a whopping 1.5 million sales of that iPhone it paid so dearly for -- twice as many as it sold last quarter and, of those, 44 percent were new subscribers. That helped to drive an overall postpaid subscriber growth of 263,000 but, despite some good news, the company is still suffering a $255 million operating loss and a $863 million net loss. Sprint reaffirmed its LTE plans, a pilot launch of six cities sometime in the middle of this year, with 12,000 sites going online before 2012 turns a year older. Will it be enough? Tune in next quarter to find out.
Top 10 Resources to help you manage your online Reputation
1. Google Alerts ? Using a search term, a name, and variations of each you can set up individual alerts that go directly to your inbox. Set up the alerts then check them at least once a week, clicking through to read the information that is out there about you, your business, and / or your industry. Not only will this help you quickly catch any negative issues, but it will enable you to promote good buzz further.
2. Keyword Search ? Every now and then, about once a month, conduct a keyword search using the major search engines and look past the first page to the fourth and fifth pages. Remove all personalization from your search results so that you can get a reliable search without biased information designed just for you. Use your search results to help you comment on other people's writing, or pictures, or information in a positive way.
3. Yahoo! Alerts ? This is a lot like Google Alerts, but you can actually niche down your search more by choosing the type of alerts you want from breaking news to keyword alerts. You can also get these alerts delivered to your mobile device and be up to the minute with what's happening. When you get usable alerts, think about how to respond. If you find something positive, share, if you see something negative consider the alternatives: either bury it, or comment, but always keep it positive.
4. WatchThatPage ? This makes keeping track of your favorite web pages easier. Set up a watch, and get notified by email when changes occur. What's more, it organizes these changes so you can view what has changed from one site. Sign up free to learn more about this interesting way to manage your online reputation.
5. Yotify ? You can monitor many things from this one site with "scouts" which will notify you when information is discovered that is relevant to your scout. Instead of having to come up with tons of alternative keywords scouts do all the work for you and deliver them to you. While it is free, you have to sign up for membership just like other social media websites. You can pick from different topics.
6. Facebook ? Yes, you can use Facebook to monitor your buzz and manage your online reputation. First, if you do not have a business Facebook Page it is time to get one. Automate it so that new blog posts, new articles and information is posted to your Facebook Wall. Make an update at least once a day and ask for feedback from those who have "liked" you. Having an active Facebook Page full of cheerleaders will do wonders for your reputation. Share nice comments about you and your business and make nice comments to others.
Remember: Comments you make on other pages show up in search engines, even if you have your privacy settings set that things on your own wall are not shared with the public, this goes out the window when you comment on someone else's page. Use this to your advantage and make well thought out, keyword rich comments!
7. Twitter ? Have a business only twitter, just like with Facebook you can automate a lot of the updates, but do go in and occasionally do a search on your business name, your name, or industry keywords to see what topics are trending. Create a hash tag and share it with your network to use when they are talking about you. Re-tweet good news, yours and others at least three times a day.
8. Your Blog ? That's right, you can use your blog to monitor your reputation by making your blog very positively about your business. Using appropriate industry keywords to talk about your products and services you can create a rush of content that can overshadow, and even bury, any negativity that might exist on the Internet about you. Blogs are a fast and simple (not to mention inexpensive way) to get news out to your readers fast. You can even automate a blog post to go out in the form of a newsletter to your readers with Aweber. This is very useful if you use the Google and Yahoo! Alerts to help you find positive news to report about.
9. Whostalkin ? This is a search engine that searches social media for your keywords to find out who is talking about you. Simply go to the page and type in your keyword to the search window and click search. Try using your own name, or an industry keyword. This can give you great blogs and articles in which you can make comments. Remember comments show up in search engines too.
10. Your Network ? All business owners have their own networks of people online. If you start sharing search results you've found about them in a nice way, they will start returning the favor. Say, for instance, your friend Jim had a super successful product launch and you found a press release about it, or a positive blog about it, share it with your network, and other networks as a favor. Hopefully people will then do the same for you.

Samsung emailed, tweeted and blogged Monday about a May 3 event in which reporters are being invited to "come and meet the next Galaxy." At this shindig in London, we expect Samsung to unveil the Samsung Galaxy S III -- though where this smartphone sits in Samsung's larger handset ecosystem isn't entirely clear.

Being only 15 minutes from Cardiff and 2 and ? hours from London along the M4 it is easy to reach whilst allowing you to feel like you?ve gone far enough from home to be a proper trip.

Food is served in one of 2 restaurants with an option of private dining in the ? Boardroom? . There is a fine selection of food available as part of the package and breakfast in the morning is amongst the best of any golf resort.
The 2 golf courses complement each other with the Wales National being a tough test and the lakes giving away a few more chances for a high points score. The National starts off with a nice par four to ease you in before your confronted with the longest par 5 in Wales! This 600 + yard hole with tree lined fairways is a challenge especially when there?s water thrown in at the side of the green. The rest of the course is long and varied, meandering through the woods before you reach the resort again on the 17th. The Lakes course is shorter and flatter so good for the 2nd round of your trip. It?s easier to score points and is in the same fantastic condition as its sister course. After a round the clubhouse is a fantastic place to visit with lots indoor and outdoor seating with traditional golfers food on sale to enjoy whilst re-living your round!

So Travel & Leisure has published the list of ?America?s Best Cities for Hipsters.? This is comical ? as well as the diminutive bit annoying) to me for the accumulation of reasons ? not slightest of which since Seattle creates the tip of the list. I?ve lived here (actually ?there,? since as we write this, I?m in the rent in Oakland) for scarcely 3 years. Apparently, I?m reverse-trending, since San Francisco is #3 (Portland, OR is #2).
As the object (metaphorically ? this is Seattle we?re articulate about) sets upon my time in the Pacific Northwest as well as we goal for to immigrate behind to the Bay Area for what we goal to be during slightest the integrate of years, I?m filled with churned emotions. Hipster-mocking as well as -baiting has been the single of my favorite pastimes in Seattle, which is both mocking as well as false of me when we take T & L?s clarification of ?hipster? in to consideration:
?They competition selected bowling boots as well as the ultimate tech gear-but they additionally know all the many appropriate places to eat as well as drink. [The magazine] ranked 35 civil areas upon culturally applicable facilities similar to live music, coffee bars, as well as eccentric boutiques. To 0 in upon the greatest hipster crowds, we additionally factored in the formula for the many appropriate microbrews as well as the many offbeat as well as tech-savvy locals.
It?s the take upon the debated tenure hipster?.whatever your take, we in all know hipsters when we see them-most expected in funky, up-and-coming neighborhoods. A smirking perspective toward mainstream institutions equates to they lend towards to revisit cool, mostly particular restaurants, shops, as well as bars-the same kinds of venues which interest to travelers seeking for what they can?t find during home. There?s additionally an eco-conscious change in ? la mode hipsterdom.?
So let me get this straight: I?m the hipster since we caring about the environment, as well as we write about food, to illustrate we eat as well as splash in places which have been as well particular for small mortals. And jeez, we only edited the qualification beer guide. And I unequivocally await my internal indie businesses. Conversely, we know jack about tech, as well as we will never, ever see me in the pair of bowling shoes. we additionally wish to bitch-slap the bejesus out of smirky, pretended funksters who feel the need to specify themselves in sequence to say the clarity of self. Cliques have been for tall school, kids.

I additionally find it deeply mocking which the luxury magazine likes to consider it knows what?s hip, since genuine hipsters love zero some-more than the bargain, either it?s $2 happy hour PBR?s or the honeyed bowling shirt from Value Village. we can assure we the normal T & L reader does not emporium during Value Village.
What we find interesting, however, is which partial of my churned feelings about withdrawal Seattle have to do with the really hipsterness. we adore street fashion, vintage, indie anything, tattoos as well as food artisans (hipster alert!). People examination has been the single of my the the single preferred activities in Seattle, since many Seattlites have such good style. It?s the city where the alternative-minded can grow aged semi-gracefully, though seeking similar to roadkill from Gen X or beyond. In Seattle, no the single gives the f? about what we demeanour like, or what you?re into. You can only be.
It?s perfect fluke which final week, whilst reacquainting myself with Berkeley (where we lived for scarcely the decade), we wondered since it is the locals here have no character (in my hipster eye view, pilled fleeces, flowy hemp wardrobe as well as ergonomic boots have been terminally unhip). we already longed for Seattle?s heterogeneous travel style, which never fails to inspire, amuse, as well as yes, infrequently horrify me (Boys, greatfully stop with the neon, nuthugger spare ankle jeans. Just sayin?).
Is this radically the really shoal letter upon an incredibly extraneous topic? Yes, absolutely. But if it is the ?tipping point? as T & L claims, afterwards hell, I?m game. I?m in conclusion withdrawal Seattle ? an amazing, beautiful, colourful city ? since the meridian kicked my donkey (see my stirring post upon ?Sleeping In Seattle: SAD And Its Side Effects?). I?m behind in the Bay Area since the manage to buy is simmering as well as for someone in the food business, this is Ground Zero.
You can?t have it all, as well as the weed is regularly greener. Those cliches aren?t really hip, though they?re true. we skip all the hipsterness which once surrounded me, though we additionally adore saying sun, citrus trees as well as the Bay Area?s unbeatable food stage again. And that, in the nutshell, is since I?m trade down to the place the small reduction hip. we can regularly revisit Seattle when I?m feeling frumpy.

'View' co-host bids a tearful farewell as the latest celeb eliminated from the dance competition. By Kelley L. Carter

It was a rather tearful Tuesday night on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" when the latest dance duo was eliminated from the competition.
The last two couples left waiting to find out whose Monday night rock performance wasn't rock star enough to continue on the show were Sherri Shepherd and Val Chmerkovskiy and Disney star Roshon Fegan and his professional partner Chelsie Hightower. Fegan's landing in the bottom two was particularly shocking considering that he was among the highest scorers the night before. The judges loved his Viennese waltz and said it was like watching the climax of a Disney movie. Once Shepherd found out she and her professional partner landed in the bottom two, the tears began to flow.
On Monday, the judges told Shepherd that she had a few issues with her footwork and that she needed to be sharper. "It was good, but I think what was lacking was your normal exuberance," judge Carrie Ann Inaba told her. She scored 21 points out of 30. Ultimately, it was her name that was called and it took her a few beats to compose herself.
"I just want to say thank you for letting me live a dream that I've always had, and I want to say I got the most amazing partner in Val Chmerkovskiy," she said tearfully. "And I want to say to every person out here that the thing that scares you the most, that makes you say, 'I don't know if I can do it; I'm scared,' run towards it, because it's so amazing on the other side."
Her partner said that she was an incredible person and that "she fought for me and I'm just really, really, really sorry I didn't do a good enough job for you."
Next week's competition will see the return of actress Melissa Gilbert following her hospitalization for a mild concussion after this week's performance.

The Vale is one of the most complete resorts in the UK with several important factors making it ideal for a golfing break.
So Travel & Leisure has published the list of ?America?s Best Cities for Hipsters.? This is comical ? as well as the diminutive bit annoying) to me for the accumulation of reasons ? not slightest of which since Seattle creates the tip of the list. I?ve lived here (actually ?there,? since as we write this, I?m in the rent in Oakland) for scarcely 3 years. Apparently, I?m reverse-trending, since San Francisco is #3 (Portland, OR is #2). 
I additionally find it deeply mocking which the luxury magazine likes to consider it knows what?s hip, since genuine hipsters love zero some-more than the bargain, either it?s $2 happy hour PBR?s or the honeyed bowling shirt from Value Village. we can assure we the normal T & L reader does not emporium during Value Village.
