Live From SES Sweden - Search Engine Watch Forums Moderator, rustybrick (Barry Schwartz), posts on several sessions from the Search Engine Strategies Conference.

I went to the SES conference in San Jose this summer and it was excellent. Julie from our team is going to SES Chicago in December. I highly recommend attending at least one SES event. The sessions are very informative, the networking is great and of course the libations are always good too. (Google Dance)

To get a Gmail account, you need to get an invite from a current Gmail account holder.

GBlog: This is a new, free blogging app that is available. I have not downloaded and installed to a web server yet. If anyone has experience with this blogging app, post or email me. I am curious about what experience you’ve had with it. Not that I’m looking for an alternative to blogger.com, but it’s good to see what else is out there.
