Morning Folks!!
Google is literally on the hot seat in Washington D.C. and one of those that might have put them there is Scott Cleland the author of the book 'Search and Destroy' Why you can't Trust Google Inc. and contributor to Forbes.com.
Eight Congressional subcommittees have sought Cleland’s expert testimony and Institutional Investor twice ranked him the #1 independent telecom analyst in the U.S. when he was working for institutional investors.
I first learned about Scott in his two most recent articles over at Forbes.com. When I read Mike Berkens piece on Sunday, I KNEW I MUST have Mr. Cleland at T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Via LinkedIn I reached out to Scott Leland yesterday. This morning he contacted me back and by 1PM he was our latest speaking addition to T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Have a GREAT Day!

Awesome, Scott alone is worth the trip to Florida! I wonder if Traffic could shown on pay-per-view?

Good job, Rick. Please also ask him about how Yelp threaten small business with bad reviews as their amo. I read about it on Mike Berkens’s piece this sunday in the comment area.
I am not taking sides…but I do have a soft spot for google. Utterly admire how they made money like a printing press…inspired a generation of us small folks to get on line to try our luck.

As a user…whenever I am in a technical jam….google search had never failed me. I am able to quickly find my answer and resolved my issues. Good luck trying to find answers quickly in ibm redbooks..or whatever.

google is a threat to all domainers and all business.instituting words that are not revellent, using a drop down menu which has nothing to do what you are doing or going to type. strickly relies on the last letter.changing the word search before you click search.
all of these features are junk.this is what happens when engineeers are in charge..they are different people.
keeping data for 18 months now disolved by congress.using chrome as a research tool.
you can see the hate for google yelp told g to kiss off. twitter told g to kiss off. g copied fb.with google+.
