Will the Real Steve Coast Please Stand Up?

Monday, June 30th, 2008

We had the opportunity to speak with Steve Coast, the Founder of OpenStreetMap (OSM) and Cloud Made as well as The Fake Steve Coast.

Space Godzilla: Lessons in Monstering

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Posted by willcritchlowIt’s a movie theme here on SEOmoz this week. After Rebecca’s post on real movies, I’m going to talk about an imaginary one. It’s a movie that would go straight to DVD, but might nonetheless be compelling for those of us who are search geeks. It’s a battle between monsters - the might of Google pitched against some of the largest brands in the world. Anyone see Godzilla vs. King Kong?

This is about the issues.

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

This election is about the issues. I do want to apologize to Gary Peters for any grief my letter caused to his campaign, even though the letters attacking me made statements that were lies about me and my relationship to Gary Peters and his campaign.

One letter was written by an employee of the Michigan Republican Party. Suffice it to say, the response letter

Google Want to be TeleAtlas

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Google have launched MapMaker, a kind of faux OpenStreetMap where they own all the data and you’re only allowed to map in certain Freedom Of Speech Zones. Like Knol, the mooted ‘wikipedia killer’, Google refuse to acknowledge existing communities, trample on their hard work and lack the mindset to engage with an open project. But, this really doesn’t matter. What’s fascinating is that they haven’t set themselves up against OpenStreetMap so much but rather TeleAtlas/TomTom, NAVTEQ/Nokia and A
