Restograf.ro is a website owned by George Butunoiu, the famous physicist headhunter. Here, him and tons of other VIP from Romania are give grades of the Bucharest restaurants.
This is the most relevant source of information from high profile people. Good luck to him 
Although Google is still the best in the field, my overall impression is that they are slipping out. Maybe is just a phase. Or maybe is too much bureaucracy.
Google adwords approval rate is much slower than before. And it makes no sense, because they are loosing money.
Google spam fight seems to be lost so far. Bing filters are much betters.
As market share, Bing/Yahoo engine is increasing, while google not.
Lately Google did not launched anything successfull. Google Buzz was a disaster.
Maybe the latest moves done in management will increase their efficiency and they will continue to surprize us as before.
Linkedin makes money charging the need to contact someone that is not in your network (this is one of their main feature).
Until recently there were several options to overcome this:
a. to ask that person for a connection
b. to request an introduction
But nowadays, if you want to find someone that is not close to u (regarding the six degreee of separation theory), you can in less than 10 seconds. For sure, most of the people has a twitter, a site, a blog, a facebook page, not to mention that even if you google him for sure you’ll find a contact detail, either email either phone.
Is so much transparancy nowadays.
Last week i gained a new client: Nomasvello Romania.
Nomasvello is the franchise with the biggest growth in Europe in 2009. It is a franchise for hair removal and skin rejuvenation with light technology. The business is very simple: the business owner pays 30,000 eur franchise tax + 400 eur/month and he/she gets the devices, the knowhow, the marketing, etc.
Why is so huge in Europe? Because the prices are very good: 30 eur/zone/session, much lower than the competition. And the clients are coming
As this business is teritorial, very soon, all the good turfs will be secured by various franchises in Bucharest and the big cities. So, it’s very exiting to help them achieve this aggresive growth
Google Page Rank is/was an indicator still much trusted by emarketing persons (me included). I used PR to have an instant impression about a site. How good is it.
In the past, things were pretty clear on how to get a PR. It would take like 2 months to get a PR. Google had a monthly recalculation of PR. The first one did not helped the PR of the new launched site, but the second would give it the first PR grade, which would be like the top site that linked to you minus 1 point.
My record was to get a PR 4 for a site in 3 weeks since lanching (now that site has more than 2 millions incomming links according webmaster tools) and it is still PR4. This happend in march and the site is still building momentum.
Lately i saw that it’s increasingly difficult to obtain PR – any PR. It seems that Google doesn’t want to use this measurement (actually, they even told webmasters several times in the past NOT to focus on this, because they will discontinue it).
I rekon this difficulty of getting PR is a part of that discontinuation of Page Rank.
Yes, every facebook user is a blogger. Because even if they don’t blog text, they can blog via pics. Or via videos. Or via various applications results (X is 77% compatible with Y, X just bought a cow, etc)
Facebook offers all the bloggers functionality on the spot, and even more. Not to mention that the virality factor is huge. So, convince the facebook bloggers that you are cool and all their friends will see it.
The only disadvantage is that links from facebook still have “no follow” tag. So the links from facebook does not help to the biggest link building advantage – link love. Google sees the link, even if the weight is very small.
The answer is “very”. The brand is THE most important asset you have. You can change your suppliers, you can change your staff, you can change all the variations of the business itself. The force of the brand helps you to move on
Here is a nice articole on brand health that i recently read. It gives a lot of explanations on how to keep the brand in a good shape.

Thank you Manafu for invitation.
So, do you want a 3 digits dot com domain? Tough luck. There are not any left.
I found people that were paying 1000 usd just to point them to a free 3 digits dot com available, or willing to sell on a normal price. So i just searched through all the combinations of 3 digits.
46656 are only the alfa numeric ones. All gone.
Also, I searched all x-x.com format. Gone too.
Now I moved to 4 digits dot com domains. Surprise! No alphabetic domains available also. However, because there are over 1,6 million combinations, i managed to find some alphanumeric domains.
It’s a difficult world upthere
