  • SoLoMo.  No, it’s not a new ultra hip downtown NYC neighborhood (though it could most definitely pass for one!). SoLoMo stands for Social-Local-Mobile and is the latest over-arching philosophy in online marketing and branding. Those in the know understand that an impeccable SoLoMo strategy in crucial not only for positive user experience, but also for increasing search engine visibility.

  • Tech blogger Andrew Chen looks into the elusive appeal of constrained media, those platforms that impose arbitrary limitations on what users can crate, and how it seems to be taking over the world (Twitter, anyone?)  (via @andrewchen)

  • You know that you need good SEO to get ahead, but keeping on top of optimizing your site can be a daunting task.  Thankfully, the SEO geniuses at  Moz put together a pretty comprehensive list of both free and paid SEO tools and resources to make sure you can tackle any challenge with ease. (via @cyrusshepard, @moz)

  •  If you had to narrow down the most culturally and historically significant software programs of all time, what would your list look like?  I know, I know… Why don’t I just ask you how many stars are in the sky?  While it’s hard to even know where to begin when answering that question, the folks over at Slate have created a list of the 10 Most Influential Software Programs Ever to get the ball rolling.
