just thinking out loud…short, sweet, maybe I’ll add more
Google Personalized Search
I’ve seen discussion about Googles Personalized Search – and there is some concern over how this will affect Search Engine Marketing and Optimization.
Me – I am interested in watching this play out of course, but I’m not concerned. If Design, SEM, and SEO is done for your VIEWERS benefit – not for the the Search Engines – all will be well.
Webmaster Tools Out of Beta
Vanessa Fox announces that Google Webmaster Tools is officially out of beta! WhooHoo! I for one am truly delighted – I’m a HUGE fan and user of Sitemaps. 
Webmaster Tools is the area where webmasters/site owners/website managers/etc. can submit RSS Sitemaps and Feeds, get stats, etc. A VERY useful tool – and you KNOW how much I love RSS Sitemaps.
I just finished mapping a site in fact – http://soapdom.com. This one had over 300k urls in my deep crawl. Of course not all those urls are included in the sitemaps. The main sitemap has a bit over 23k.
