Facebook Is Changing It’s Algorithm In 2015

By |2017-08-14T21:57:13+00:00May 1st, 2015|Business, WWW News|Comments Off on Facebook Is Changing It’s Algorithm In 2015

Yesterday, we posted about Google's 'Mobilegeddon' and the changing algorithm and optimization of mobile-friendly sites in search engines.  Today I came across another article from Contently called "What Facebook’s Algorithm Change Means for Brands, Publishers, and the Future of Media."  The article discusses changes in how Facebook is going to change it's News Feed.  The changes, according to Contently, are: 1.

Google Launches “Mobile Friendly Algorithm” – What You Need To Know

By |2017-11-21T23:11:56+00:00April 24th, 2015|WWW News|Comments Off on Google Launches “Mobile Friendly Algorithm” – What You Need To Know

What's This All About!? This week, specifically on April 21, Google has started to implement a new algorithm specifically geared towards search engine results on mobile devices.  The easiest way I can explain it, is that Google is now checking to make sure websites are responsive (or 'mobile friendly'.) A responsive website is one that 're-aligns' itself based on the size of the screen.  Actually, if you take this screen (the one you're reading this on) and re-size the screen to a smaller dimension you'll see that it certain parts of the website 'shift' or change. The good news is that [...]

How Competent Are You!?

By |2017-08-14T21:45:41+00:00January 13th, 2015|Business|Comments Off on How Competent Are You!?

I remember being at the end of my second year of college and wondering what the hell I was going to major in.  At the time, I was under the impression that what you majored in was what you were going to be doing for the rest of your life.  Me, who hates making big decisions, was really stressing out about it.  I remember being at a friend’s house and sitting outside with her dad.  I started ranting about it and how stressed out I was.  I remember him stopping me half-way through my rant and simply said, “It [...]
